With the previous poll having given Yxala an overwhelming victory, we're now moving for the second poll of the second round- Which puts very different characters into the fray!

Again, keeping it short: You can find more about them in my blog, or you can vote based on looks alone, it's all up to you! If enby bismuth bassist catches your fancy, lend your forces to Urion- If angsty drow dad with a criminal past is fancier to you, Ail is right there!

@ixwantxtoxlivex89 submitted: No IDs necessary. Just some random friends I've made over the past month or two.

What an excellent group of fine friends. I love them all deeply but especially the tussock moth in the third photo! And the jumper....

Ailanthus Webworm Moth

Deceptive concealment takes many forms...hiding in plain sight is not simply a skill of the trickster, it is also a recognition failure of the deceived.

The third sexyblorbo poll is none other than the Dad Match! Vote for either of these troubled dads! We've got some finely aged blorbos today. A small summary on each:

Mythannae Erant was my former PC before the switch to Yxala. He's now content to stay in the backline and adopt whichever kids the main party stumbles upon. Also adopted Centi, a party member. He is making up for his corpo past working for one of the BBEGs. Currently in a polycule with Jorven and Yden, his former roomate.

Ailanthus Sreysnah is a character of ancient times- In fact, my first full drow character! He has a troubled military past where he hunted down mages, but ended up realizing his actions were wrong after sibling drama. Now, he's trying to get redemption- By adopting a kid from a very questionable friend of his.

These two have quite a lot in common, so the choice may be hard! It is within your power which square-jawed father-of-the-year gets to win this match!

I saw this guy in [removed] (please remove the location) in July and was wondering what he is please?

No worries! This friend is an ailanthus webworm moth :)
