Ahhh that last poll was a good one. There was a three-way race at one point, but inevitably, the predictable happened and you have opted for the ... cartoon... render. Netram Deer. For those who are only just joining the party, you missed five polls determining the direction I'm going to take with my fourth ISFL player, determining their Position, Archetype, Background, Personality, and Render.
I'll be honest, on that last one, I was very much hoping Chabal would win (I even deliberately picked an image of him in a suit, hoping to maybe sway some opinions). Considered leaving the cartoon render out, but as it was the inspiration behind the background choice, it would have felt wrong. On the plus side, I have a sort-of-solution for the graphics people? I'd argue that since you only ever really need a face for these, literally any dude with a handlebar mustache (with or without the monocle) can work as the render. It doesn't even matter if you use different ones for different images tbh. Maybe my unnamed international financier and ostrich racer turned offensive lineman is into disguises as a hobby or something. I'll make it work either way. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have gone for a FPTP approach here, but it is what it is. Perhaps later in this player's career, if the feedback is that creating gfx with this render is too much of a challenge, we can see about using Chabal, but like... shopping a monocle onto him or something. I dunno, I'm shit at gfx. I'll leave that kind of thing up to the experts.
Let's get back on track, though.
The astute among you will perhaps have noted that the options presented covered the major "ethnic groups" (as vague as that term can be) as well. I deliberately presented at least one option each of latino, black, and (east) asian background, because the render choice would affect the name selection. I wanted to include south asian as well but I had trouble finding enough images of any of the options I had in mind, which basically left The Great Khali, which tbh just didn't appeal to me. Anyway, since the winner was the "absurdist" choice of render, we're also going to have the "absurdist" choice of names (for reference, Chabal would have gotten you some European names, Big Whit the "generic NCAA white dude" names).
You know the drill by now. Vote in this poll.
No "other" option this time because I don't trust you fucks not to give my player some dumbfuck name that I really don't want to use.
Leggo.
