semi-final polls will probably go up about a day after this poll closes

The Best New Main Character Tournament (Round 4/Quarterfinal Poll)

Note: I recommend reading this blog's pinned post that explains what this tournament is about before voting

The four most voted for characters on this poll will proceed to the semifinal round; the two least voted for will be knocked out of the competition.

PROPAGANDA:

Palamedes Sextus- You'd have Palamedes and Camilla solving the mysteries of Canaan House and tracking down the murderer, you've got his emotional turmoil at being rejected by the love of his life, you have his sheer bafflement at his good friend Protesilaus taking up a vow of silence and repeatedly attacking this other huge, silent weirdo who showed up. It would also be the best detective novel ending, in that he'd give his solution speech about who the culprit was and how they did it, then immediately explodes. Book over.

Descole- He's the antagonist of the prequel trilogy of games and often helps add to the mysteries to solve. I would love to see his perspective of all he did throughout those games.

Garrus Vakarian- None submitted

Eli 'Weevil' Navarro- Francis Capra is a fantastic and immensely underrated actor and he deserves his own show. Weevil is truly the best character and the under-utilised potential of the parts of his life that should have been relevant and weren't will haunt me until I die (worse because he was a major character/series regular). Please, I am begging you, force Rob Thomas to put his money where his mouth is in actually reckoning with the class (+race) inequality the show is always nominally condemning and then reinforcing every time they give racist millionaire characters a giant narrative spotlight and a seventeenth chance instead of paying attention to their POC regulars with so much more potential

Vee- There is just so much potential! It could be a cute cartoon about an awkward little shapeshifter trying to behave like a human. From time to time, a backstory episode about her past as a basilisk and her escape out of the Boiling Isles. Their closest friend is Masha, who slowly discovers their secret, and becomes their confident, like MoringMark Comics from 2022-10-20. (And of course, romance). With the return of Luz in the the human realm, it could be more psychological, exploring complex feeling toward her (envy, but also affection). But yeah, imagine a cute slice-of-life cartoon with the cutest character of the show! Completely in the mood found family, "weirdos staying together" and "being understood"!

Who would make the best new main character? (Round 3)

Note: I recommend reading this blog's pinned post that explains what this tournament is about before voting

Second note: Despite being put up all on the same day the original version of this poll seems to have already timed out long before the others so I assume I accidentally made it a 1-day poll instead of a 1-week poll without noticing- so I'm posting a new version instead. Please vote again here even if you also voted on the last version of this poll, because this is the one I will count for results

PROPAGANDA:

Cassandra- she is The sword lesbian of all time look at her go. also she robs a jewelry store (a vault with a funky opal) and gets cool rock powers. she then proceeds to commit various crimes, as one should.

The Bugsnax- (just a warning, this has heavy spoilers): I think swapping the perspective with the Bugsnax would be really interesting. The Bugsnax act like dozens of different creatures, but in reality, they're all one hive mind. We could have a flashback to see their backstory, we have tons of perspectives to watch what's going on from since there's so many Bugsnax everywhere, and we could see how they react to the original player and their actions. Plus, it works for all kinds of genres. Maybe it's straight up horror. Maybe it's a workplace comedy, and they drop their act when Grumpuses aren't around, similar to Toy Story.

Okay, so- since most of the Round 3 polls are closing today (minus the one poll that was posted later to replace the poll that was accidentally set on a 1 day timer) I wanted to make an announcement about how Round 4 will work since it's going to be different than the earlier rounds.

After this round, we should have 6 characters left. Pretty much as soon as the final poll of this round closes (which will be that one replacement poll, so it is delayed by a day or two from the rest of the round's polls), Round 4 will start.

Round 4 will consist of one poll and will be the quarterfinals for this tournament. All 6 remaining characters will go on that poll, and of them the two least voted for characters will be knocked out (I might then put them in a basically-just-for-fun poll to determine who will officially take 5th place) while the four most voted for will proceed to the semifinals! The Round 4 poll will still be on a one week timer like the polls from the previous rounds have been.

PROPAGANDA:

Toph Beifong- None submitted

Sheik- So Link famously travels forward in time 7 years to a post apocalyptic wasteland, and is helped in his quest to fix everything by a mysterious ninja, Sheik. But from Sheik’s perspective, he spends 7 years hiding, training, and fighting, all so that when Link pops out of stasis, everything is ready. Sheik has intel on the dungeon bosses, he has magic songs for each location, and he’s, to all appearances, more agile and skilled than Link by the time Link shows up. HOW and WHY and can we PLEASE see some of that?

Eli 'Weevil' Navarro- Francis Capra is a fantastic and immensely underrated actor and he deserves his own show. Weevil is truly the best character and the under-utilised potential of the parts of his life that should have been relevant and weren't will haunt me until I die (worse because he was a major character/series regular).

PROPAGANDA:

Samwise Gamgee- I feel like it would be very interesting to view events through his eyes as I think due to his background and personality, he would comment on things that Frodo or other characters might not pick up on. He is with Frodo for almost all of the story, so the actual events we witness would be mostly the same, but I just think his perspective would be cool

Descole- He's the antagonist of the prequel trilogy of games and often helps add to the mysteries to solve. I would love to see his perspective of all he did throughout those games.
