I'm absolutely loving the fact that I've successfully crowded you out of the Power of Friendship :V

I place the blame on the fact that you got a head start; Simon only started getting votes after my speech, and now people are mostly just deciding between Nia and Lordgenome. :p

You think this strength is worth bragging about?

The comrades that stand beside me, lifting me up?

The ones that stand at my back, pushing each other forward?

My brothers in arms, fighting alongside me to take back our pride. Our dignity. Our future?

Of course it is!

You who would seek to stand alone in the name of your ideals, existing merely as a figurehead to inspire! Who shall be by your side?!

Who would understand you as you toil in solitude, waiting for others to merely follow your example?!

A Man does not exist alone!

He is but one of many!

A part of a glorious race of his fellow men and women! You, who can accomplish nothing alone!

Do not decry those who would surround himself with his comrades, those whom he would fight alongside, those whom he would protect! For it is with these men and women, more than mere numbers, that we shall charge forward to a new, and brighter, future!

Join me!

You need not fight alone, as the beacon on the hill! Join us here in the mud. So that we may together lay down the foundation to a brighter tomorrow!

Of course no one can exist on their own, but surrounding yourself with nothing but the like-minded is just as doomed to failure! It is through the crowd's dissent, the support found anywhere you lean, the swirl of vigor pushing in all directions, that they can stand tall and proud!

What you speak of is not a united front, not people supporting one another, but a line of tiles waiting to collapse with the flick of a finger! Someone like you could never create a better future!
 
(Of course, by no means is that gonna stop me)

That's right! We're all different! But it's because of those differences that we grow, and love, and learn! What's the awesome without the mundane? What's music without silence? After all, the darkness is nothing but the absence of the light! It's in contradiction that we can find meaning! Besides, half-assed comraderie that comes from simply wanting to join the winning team is nothing compared to a real bond! The combining of souls understanding each other, and working together for an impossible dream...! That's what real unity is! What a real combination is!
 
....are vote still open or are we all watching you lot make speeches at one another? :p <3

Admittedly, I didn't think it would start immediately after as I went to sleep.
Heck, if I had known, I would have just stayed up!

Oh?

Interesting.

So let me turn your words back upon you.

Are all those who believe in you, Who support you, Who agree with you, in the past, present, and future, all mindless yes men?

Would you insult them so deeply?

Every person has a story of their own!

Held deeply in the chest of each warrior is their own reason to fight!

That we unite under a single barrier does not rob them of their individuality, their humanity! It merely reflects the strength of our bonds and our shared will!

You speak of hope, even while denying the struggles of others? Such hollow ideals, that discard those that do not agree with them!

But do not worry! I hold no such biases! My fight is just as much for you, who refuses to lift a finger, as it is for all other humans!

None shall be left behind!

For that!

Is OUR battle!

Exactly two new ones. Old ones, really. Previously rejected concepts reworked now that their designer has more experience.

alright guys, votes locked, here are your stands:

Iron Man: A small, golden fairy, softly glowing. She smiles warmly at you, sparkling dust slowly falling from her delicate wings.

Destructive Power: E

Range: EX

Durability: D

Precision: A

Development Potential: A

Super Luck: +5 to all rolls, +20 to a roll if you surge, at the cost of losing the bonus for the rest of the day. Good things will happen more often.

North Star: Iron Man can find anything. Literally anything that your heart desires, but it is limited by its undying loyalty, which will not allow it to seek something that would get you killed.

Moanin' at the Moonlight: A cheerful dog, always at your heel. He wags his tail happily as you pet his sleek white fur.

Destructive Power: C

Range: D

Durability: B

Precision: C

Development Potential: A

Bounding Enthusiasm: Moanin' at the Moonlight can temporarily grant you the ability to clear great distances in a single bound, though he will not be able to manifest until you touch the ground again.

New World Fool: As long as Moanin' at the Moonlight is by your side, you will learn new skills very quickly. What once took decades now takes years, what took months takes weeks, and what took weeks takes days.

Voodoo Kingdom: A mysterious black bird perches on your shoulder, dutifully scanning for any threats. You admire it's beautiful blend of black and red feathers.

Destructive Potential: B

Range: C

Durability: C

Precision: D

Development Potential: A

Forge the Bars: Voodoo Kingdom can cause a very strong black metal to appear, freely capable of molding its shape and dimensions.

Gilded Cage: When ??? is within a cage forged from the black metal, it turns silver, and her wounds regenerate at a decent speed. Her strength and speed are also greatly enhanced within the cage.

I'm joking, of course. Votes will lock in a few hours, though.

EDIT: Those unchanged female pronouns, though.

You call this need for war an unpleasant truth, a necessity brought about by the failure to avoid fighting. You insist upon this because the alternative horrifies you, that the slaughter wasn't necessary. So you shout down hope for anything better than the status quo as naive, and call the desire for it a worthless endeavor. To cynically ignore any hope for improvement put before you to keep assuming the worst case to be a matter of fact, it's the very definition of willful ignorance!

However hard it may be, however many people have given up before seeing it all the way through, I won't just cast aside hope without even trying! I choose this path knowing the burden I will have to bear, and do not smile because of its weight. I smile at the belief that even if I can't make it myself, the attempt will someday drive the person who can! You yourself admit the path of one bearing their ideals to be the path through Hell itself, and having turned away from it call your own the more difficult path? You didn't walk the difficult path, you saw it and gave up! The hard path is to carry on in spite of loss, of the pain suffered in life, to never be consumed by anger at our failings!

You speak of grasping the future while imploring us to cast aside the past. But the future is created by the hopes of those to come as well as the strides taken by those who walked the path before us! All that we could do leaving the past in our wake is repeat its mistakes step by step; one that would do so could never reach a better future! Even if I can't be the one to reach the end, even if I'm forced to give up, walking this path isn't wrong!

Sorry, TehChron. I have to vote for Best Speech.

*incoherent grumbling about timing and head starts*
Bah, Nia is more likely to team up with Simon then Lordgenome I guess.
