I assume I've missed something obvious here. What does 'independent' mean in a character? Is it simply a random subtype or have I missed a rule or something?
Independent?
It is just a keyword, nothing more. Fluff wise it is a character who is not affiliated to any of the factions.
Ah, I see. Thanks very much. I don't suppose anyone can remember any effects that target 'Independent' characters, or any other functions it has? I feel like there are a lot of underused subtypes and similar in this game.
Theres a few cards who's affect says "name a keyword". I suppose you could name " independent " as the keyword.

Hum. Yes. I suppose I was really looking for an explanation of the function of the keyword/subtype, and thereby of what it is meant to reflect in the game. I suppose you could view this as 'fluff'. I don't really see that it's to do with factions; First, the factions are pretty arbitrary anyway, as Lovecraft's 'mythology' is so vague. Second, there is always the neutral category for cards that ought to be available to everyone.

Not all of the keywords have a game mechanic that references them, yet.
Hum, isn't independant a subtype (and not a keyword???)
May we'll see in a near future cards that interfers with independant characters ???
