Heir Vote


Poll closed, but I'm leaving this update here for entertainment purposes.

It was a tie between Link and Donovan, and I wonder if that's because I put the best pics of them. Oh well. I chose one.

 

Donovan wins!




OKAY I FREAKING CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!!!!

I like all the kids 2-6. So, I'm putting it to a vote. The next generation's first career roll was for journalism, but I did another for the new expansion pack and got video game designer. :D It's very likely I'll pick the new one. So, that, I think, makes the biggest difference with whom to choose, but I've realized I can make either work for any of them.

Link:








Neurotic, Artistic, Perceptive, Rebellious. Also a wizard (witch)

I make like Link gets his black hair from his paternal grandmother, but really I have no idea where a redhead and a brunette make a raven-haired child. I know, I know, random EA genetics. Still, he has his mother's blue eyes that I love. Not to mention in the bigger picture he looks smoking hot. He'll age up pretty soon as far as my gameplay is concerned, prompting me to go ahead and set up a poll. I'd originally made him the most-likely heir in my head, but his younger siblings have made me pause and rethink.


Donovan:







Artistic, Hates the Outdoors, Genius, Virtuoso (human)

Don is the only redhead, and he looks very nicely geared towards that video game designer profession. I absolutely ADORE that picture of him with the setting sun on his face. He's a great combination of Rose and Pedro with Rose's hair and Pedro's eyes.

Skye:

Friendly, Disciplined, Good (human)

Skye is still a child in my most-recent save, and this is him aged-up in CAS. I'm sad I don't have a better picture. I remember doing the whole "let's try out a million different hairstyles and take way too many pictures" thing with him, but I don't know what happened to the pictures. I love how he's the perfect combination of Rose and Pedro, almost the opposite perfect combination that Donovan makes. He has Pedro's hair and Rose's eyes. His personality thus far can really work for either profession.









Giselle:

 











Friendly, Absent-minded (witch)

The only female in the vote. She's still a toddler in game so I could really work her in pretty much any direction I want her to go. She looks almost like a clone of Rose, and that's definitely not a bad thing. I'm so glad she got Rose's nose and eyes.

Milo:


Loves the Heat, Genius (human)

Little Milo, baby of the family. I already picture him a complete geek in my head. I think he'd make a great game designer, but like his older twin, he's still a toddler, making it to where I can take his personality any direction I want.









Voting at the top right of the page ^^.

    1. :P
      The first one's mouth and chin get on my everlasting nerves, so I refuse to pick her. Maybe the spawn she creates with her future husband won't inherit those features, let us hope.
      Sure she still gets love even though she's ugly! (well, okay, not totally ugly, just odd) She got several (and another one otw) chapters featuring her. That's all she's getting though. :)
      Thanks for voting

  2. You know who I'm going to vote for... Oh... Well... I don't know anymore.
    My mind is ripped in half between Donovan and Giselle! Couldn't you roll single/couple+1? Then we could have both? ARGH!!!
    Can I vote twice? D:

    And, how dare you leave a mean cliffy, and then post another update WHICH ISN'T THE CONTINUATION the same day?! Meanie >:(

    2. Hm, I'm going to have to look into why that color type is being used. You have until next Saturday, and you can vote more than once.
      Hehe, I went back and forth today and finally went nuts before I threw this post together. Next real updat Monday, n you have no room to compkain about cliffys!

    3. In that case, I might just have to vote twice... I'll forget if I don't do it today.
      Hey, I'm sorting out the cliffy Monday! I'm writing it now, but it's gunna be a super-duper-long chapter, which will more than make up for it.
      Plus, I didn't tease by posting another update that wasn't a chapter! :p

    4. I couldn't find in the template settings where that color was, so we're stuck w the annoying gray. I click n drag to highlight the text.
      This chapter has a cliffy for the same reason-- it would be too long otherwise.
      so, tomorrow there's another chapter for this one n hopefully SWNT for me.
      A poll is a tease? Lol.

  3. I took awhile, because they all have their qualities. But I voted Donovan. It's the hair. I just adore the redheads.

    1. Thanks!
      And now I can't help but hear from Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride "we wants the redhead!"
