Binary Stars (An Original Space Opera)

Oh Gods...this is what I feared. Hell at this point I'm willing to compromise and change my vote to another one as long as it's the Little Noble and a Male character.😂
 
[X] Plan Commoner Strats

Starting off as mythically skilled in a skill is a hard bonus to pass up. Changing my vote to the leading commoner vote because of that.
 
[X] Plan Commoner Strats

I refuse to vote for Die Walkyrie because of that picture. I'm sorry, but no.
 
I'm loving the enthusiasm and all the plans.

It fills me with pride.
 
If it had a chance of winning I would, but I'm fairly sure it's trailing behind pretty distantly.
Currently it's 7 commoner, 6 valkyrie, 3 empress. It's a margin yes but if every valkyrie vote switched it'd win.

For coin and country! For a ruler that can sit on the biggest bodyguard's shoulder to tower over everyone! For ordering mass executions in a squeaky voice! For the Empress!

If we're lucky, Magoose will have that be the actual Imperial Heir even if it doesn't win. I'd want either Valkyrie or Empress to win, but currently it just doesn't have the votes barring a very sudden swing.

I guess being willing to die for the glory of the Tiny Empress is an acceptable second to actually being them.
But will she be the best choice? She is a an untrained child who is... well easily manipulated by older, wiser subordinates who may not have her best interests at heart.

The other two will have some compelling cases for becoming the Emperor.

And equally compelling detriments that may absolutely fuck everything up.

Plus the contrast is something I find amusing. Tall, athletic, well-endowed woman vs. her short, delicate, princess.
Especially if one is in the military fighting on the front lines, world-weary and experienced and the other is a child coddled in court, who's idealistic and not... as experienced.

The dynamic would be fun to write, no matter who the protagonist is.
