Who's the Hottest? Male Edition


Recommended Posts

Let's see:

 

Drakons freak me out. Alwan pissed me off. Barzahl was too psycho for me. The same for Zachary, Phariton and Trajkov. Although I always thought Trajkov was a hot name. Btw, what's up with all the psychos? There are four right there. Rahul sounds too hispanic. Huh, strangely enough after typing his name (Rahul) I just got a weird though "Thuryl should totally hook up with someone called Rahul" :p .

 

I hated Eass (whose name I always pronounced with the snake ssss), and I can't really remember the rest. So I guess I'll have to pick Spharon. Although I don't like hermits, he was fairly neutral and I like the name :p

 

Edit: I'm so tired of making typos frown or forgetting words in this case.

Analysis:

 

Alwan is the winner, but by a much smaller margin than Miranda. Alwan probably won because he gets more face time with the PC (over the course of two games) than any other male in the series. He is also a cool guy in general. He is very conservative, though, further supporting the fact that most Spiderwebbers sympathize with the Shaper cause.

 

Khyryk comes in close second. He is the tragic hero, torn between the two sides, seeing evil in both. Since there really is evil in both, it makes sense people would like him. He probably didn't win because his third option isn't that much better, and it leaves him in a position where he is looking rather pathetic by the end of Geneforge 4.

 

Trajkov comes in third. He is quite awesome, the first to find the geneforge after it was abandoned. He has that whole foreigner aura about him, and in one ending, he takes over the world. Awesome.

 

A bunch of drakons came in after that. Combined, they received an almost significant amount of votes. They are indeed fascinating, plus, those rebel sympathizers had to vote for someone, no matter how ugly.

 

Barzahl probably would have gotten more votes had I not made the comment in the first post. A pity, really, considering the fact that he contributed more to the art of shaping than any other single being in the history of the games.

 

Goettsch, Zachary, and Spharon have some fans. Nobody loves Hodge, Rahul, and Phariton, however.

Except for Danette.

And she didn't even get a single vote. frown

 

Two different areas of shaping, really. Danette invented self-shaping, and there haven't been any real advancements in that area since her death, true. But Barzahl excelled in making new creations. Most of the advances that there have been in new creations since the Sucia Island incident can all be traced back to the Barzites, many to Barzahl himself.

Many of the advancements, sure, but I dunno about most. Easss and Ghaldring deserve some credit, and Tuldaric.

 

We also don't know that Danette wasn't responsible for other advances prior to the Geneforge. Sucia Island operated as a research facility for many years. Regardless, what did Barzahl do besides come up with three new creations (admittedly, astonishingly effective ones)?

That's pretty much it, I guess. It's still more than anyone else did. What have Eass and Ghaldring done besides... uh... what have Eass and Ghaldring done?

Well, Easss modified himself so he could shape, and then made numerous augmentations to the Drakon design. Less colorful than Barzahl's achievements, but also actual new ground. It's not like the Shapers had never created new types of creations before. Barzahl did the same old things, just with (a lot) more power and (a lot) fewer rules.

 

As for Ghaldring, he reconstructed the Geneforge and came up with the Unbound. That's got to count for something.
