December Poll

Hope everyone is having a sweet December so far, and is on track for enjoying the winter holidays! This time of year can be quite stressful, so I hope everybody is hanging in there.

I'm gonna get right to the descriptions today, because I know y'all are eager to see who's on the table. Replacing Ryu and Genn Greymane from last month, we have Kimahri and Craig Marduk, suggested by Paranoia_LP and Leo Once3333 respectively!

As always, vote for as many options as interest you. The lowest scorer will be eliminated next month to make room for another new challenger...

Kimahri (Final Fantasy): The stoic and honorable Ronso with a strong protective streak, who if necessary would give his life for his summoner. Although he towers over most humans, among Ronso he's actually considered quite small and was bullied by the bigger tribesman as a result. Ultimately that lead to the very symbol of his pride--his horn--being broken. After leaving the tribe in disgrace, he went on to become the most loyal of Yuna's guardians. He still shoulders the shame of his past, and will only speak to those who absolutely earn his trust. But perhaps a good spanking can get him to open his mouth, at least to plead...?

Marduk (Tekken): A mainstay of the Iron Fist Tournament since Tekken 4. Craig Marduk is a relentless MMA/Vale Tudo fighter. Extremely belligerent, violent, and short-tempered, with a huge, pulsing... ego, Marduk isn't shy about proclaiming he's the strongest around or stomping all over his opponents to achieve victory. With his huge hands and cocky attitude, it's likely he's even spanked his share of other fighters himself. The only man he's been seen to be close with is his boyfr--I mean, his partner, King, but by this point there's doubtless a whole roster of fighters who'd heavily enjoy teaching him a lesson in respect.

Ranzal (Dragalia Lost): A skilled mercenary whose sloppy appearance and careless tongue can make for a sour first impression... though he always acts with honor and conviction in the end. As the "big bro" of the team, he can be a bit boisterous and rowdy, and is often seen eating massive quantities of food and drinking long into the night. He's an irresponsible rolemodel to Prince Euden for sure--but who would be stern enough to put this big bruiser in his place?

Barret (Final Fantasy VII): Passionate environmentalist, proud father, and leader of the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE. Barret is a gruff, brash man with a short temper and a gun for an arm (which can probably be switched out for a paddle attachment in a pinch). He's got a brand new HD remake coming which's got all his fans flustered over his brand new HD chest hair. But the real question is, does his new render also come with HD ass hair? Only one way to find out!

Old Man Logan (X-Men): He's not the Logan you know. He's older, meaner, gruffer, and from an alternate future where all his friends and family died. Cheerful, right? But with the benefit of experience and a lotta hindsight he's now back in the past for a second chance at things. Maybe that means spanking all the bad guys into submission this time. Who knows, but they'd sure deserve it. Though they'd probably love a chance to beat his ass themselves, for that matter, so maybe he'd better watch out. Just don't call him Wolverine. He hates that.

Goliath (Gargoyles): Taken out of his time, and often taken out of his depth, Goliath leads the Manhattan Clan of Scottish gargoyles now living in New York City. His impressive wingspan, hulking muscles, and stoic demeanor all serve to make him adept at his role as guardian and nurturer to his charges, protecting humans and gargoyles alike from threats both futuristic and fantastic. He is also surely in charge of disciplining the young males of his clan when required. This month however, it might be his own muscular bottom suffering the sting of an embarrassing punishment.
