I personally like the Skullduggerous Urchin the best, since he fits my character so well. Oh, and because he's better than my Disgraced Rattus Faber Bandit Chief I was using until now.

The Airs came good today, the Hat of Preternaturally Intent (apparently, a live falcon) was donned, and my soul was rashly sold. Whilst on a celebratory caffeine binge in the Forgotten Quarter, still with a falcon perched on my noggin, three consecutive Deep Blue Heaven expeditions gave me three consecutive Eyeless Skulls. I'm not sure what the odds are on this, but they must be slim even at a 10% Rare Success, which seems unusually high. Out of 5 such expeditions, 3 were Skulls.
I know FL seems to deliberately use the rarest spelling variant wherever possible, but even so, I choose to believe that this was not a coincidence. Another vote for the Skullduggerous Urchin.

Somehow I don't feel bad about the fish. I figure, a bit of existential angst is good for personal development!

I love the Haunted Goldfish the most. I have two. There is something charming and adorable (albeit in a dark way) about the poor little fish that has seen things that it can't unsee.

I quite like receiving Calling Cards.
I am open to most social actions (including trading boxed cats), and am happy to help with menaces or actions involving second chances.

I like the well-scrubbed urchin the best, mostly because I always wanted an urchin, but the grubby urchin was just too... grubby... to be acceptable in my house.
This being Fallen London, though, all of them are interesting and funny.

The Rubbery Campanologist is my favourite by far, as I dearly love all things Rubbery (and the Persuasive bonus is very, very nice). But above all this, the Bellringer to Campanologist transformation is a happy one! Tingaling! Tingaling!

Now that you bring up the Doll...
My main has a Watchful Doll, though I'm not sure why; I never liked it all that much, the spiteful jealous thing. But, as with the Goldfish, I can't bring myself to turn it into a being that forever weeps. So I'm foregoing a Weeping Doll also.
Yes, that transformation is too emotionally rending ... I can't bring myself to do it. Poor little doll ... she's already had such a rough life!

I do agree with this, despite my character's close ties to Hell due to their knowledge, sinful comfort, and business/political skills Mr. Secrets also has strong opinions about slavery and actively opposes the soul trade. So encouraging a companion, even one that just sort of sits at home all day long because I have a Laconic Prodigy, to sell their soul felt very bad. I mean sure the name "Faustian" should have told me that it involved the character losing their soul but I didn't quite realize the impact until it was too late. Just sort of laser-targeted the BDR companions without thinking about character.
I did gather up a Pious Henchman too on my main, so I feel like I have balanced that character's Karma out a little bit.

I went for both evolved forms of the henchman. I don't think they'd want to interact with each other, though...

My favourite is the Esoteric Accomplice, closely followed by the Rubbery Campanologist and Extravagantly-Titled Tigress.
The fabulous accomplice felt like a natural progression to the alluring accomplice, both Urchins are fun; the henchmen worry me and the doll and goldfish were harrowing.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

I love the Esoteric Accomplice! She seems to fit my character really well - she is both a reader and an author and very curious about the Neath. I am hoping that there will be special cards for the new characters. It would be fun to have her occasionally ask about something disturbing that she found or have her request some money to buy books!

Sorry to Necro an old thread, but I have a query regarding these companions (as I haven't yet dug into this year's Hallowmas stuff yet, and didnt play the last couple)
There are fate-locked options for acquiring "last year's upgraded companions" via 'Let Slivvy Speak', but is that just a shortcut to get them quickly or are they not at all available through regular means in 2018?
Thanks in advance. :-)

The companions are new every year (so far). Once the year is past, Slivvy is your only option.

The Weeping Doll is cute, but Caroline just could not do that to Stalky Tina
The Accomplices would be my favorite, though I am terribly fond of giving Lydia some peace.
