Feb 2022 Patron Polls! (repost as we forgot an option)

Hello patrons and welcome to another exclusive poll series!

So a persistent criticism we get with our work is that we lack male romantic | consensual partners for the player character even though there's plenty of girl/girl romances. To remedy this, we experimented with Barton and Thompson for Juno in Overgrown: Genesis, and that seems to have gone over quite well! So, this month we will be polling on the subject of consensual/romantic male partners for Claire, in the same vein as Barton and Thompson for Juno.

Below is a cast we have fleshed out for that purpose! There are three choices we are planning for, so we’d like players to vote on them! The winning poll, as usual, is not an indicator of who gets in exclusively, but rather, just a gauge for us to figure out who players want to see the most.

You can choose multiple options in these polls! Vote now and be heard! :D

EKHARDT, THE REDHAMMER

(Maledom, Rough Sex, FFM Threesome)

- An as-yet unintroduced character, Ekhardt a hot-blooded, blue-eyed, herculean knight of the realm, having made his mark with his skill with an uncommon weapon - the warhammer. He is a key member of the chivalric Order of the Black Horn, an elite group of black-clad knights in the personal service of Duke Konrad Trollsbane, who leads the kingdom’s only remaining fighting force in the field, and its last hope. It is a grim burden that he carries with stoic determination. Sir Ekhardt Redhammer earned his name when, after a long battle, he was repairing his equipment at a forge when the camp he was in came under a surprise attack. With his weapon still unrepaired, Ekhardt hastily picked up the hammer he was working with, and used it to sunder so many of the foe that they fled rather than face him. Finding a knack with it, he had a formidable two-handed warhammer made for him, that he wields to immense effect. Ekhardt will encounter Claire when she revisits the Continent in Bertrand’s company and reunites with Stella there (where she will end up after Rivermont). He comes across chauvinistic and arrogant at first, and Stella detests him initially, leading to Claire’s clouded opinions.  But down the line both Stella and Claire will see that he means well, not wanting women in the fray, but eventually coming to respect Stella as a capable fellow soldier and Claire as a woman fighting for the kingdom in her own right. Eventually, Claire can engage in a male-dom romance with him that involves a lot of broken beds and rough, rough sex, with the potential of Stella joining in as well, leading to many vigorous threesomes...~

GALLIS, LOYAL MERCENARY SUBORDINATE

(Femdom, Wrestling, Footplay, Solo)

- Gallis is encountered initially as part of the starter for the Mercenary Questline. Later, he goes into the background more, but will feature again as the questline progresses. There is a planned strapping visual revamp for him in the line of Thompson from O:G (short-cropped/undercut brown hair, chiseled, some stubble), where a Defiance-leaning Claire will find him suitably strapping and pliable. He works as a trainer for the Defiance stat, and if Claire’s Defiance is high enough that he can no longer train her, a training request will lead to Claire getting the upper hand unexpectedly, and she finds him enjoying it, much to his shyness - and she can egg things on from there.

BAYARD, THE KENNELMASTER

(Maledom, Beasts, Mixed Group)

- Part of a planned overall revamp for the kennels in Chemont, Bayard is planned to be a unique male character who works as the kennelmaster; a tall, quiet man, his lean features framed by long dark hair and his seemingly brooding persona, along with the pack of huge dogs that rings him, keeps most away. But that’s fine to Bayard - he prefers it that way. He has ever shunned the company of humans, who since his childhood he has found jaded and false-hearted. He much prefers the company of animals, particularly dogs, who he finds leal and ever-true to themselves. But behind the reticent exterior is a man of great compassion and understanding, with few prejudices, and an ideal companion for Depravity-leaning Claire should she become accustomed to life in Chemont and its… quirky trades. Claire can encounter Bayard as he is hiring a dog walker; the first instance will go without issue. However, future walks have the dogs get antsy. If Claire passes a Depravity check, Bayard will explain his usual breeder, who comes to ‘relieve’ the dogs, has retired, and he is having trouble finding another. This is where Claire can voluntarily come into play… Bayard’s scenes, as his occupation may suggest, include not just male/fem consensual, but fun with the whole pack - for Bayard doesn’t mind sharing. In fact, he insists upon it ;)

THORFINN & THORKELD, TWINS WHO SHARE *EVERYTHING*

(Switch, MMF Threesome) 

- This shouldn't surprise anyone! Alongside Aslaug, Thorfinn and Thorkeld, your friendly local strapping blonde Viking men, as part of the Shieldmaiden Questline, are future potential romantic partners. One caveat - the twins grew up together having to stick tight - as you well would, with a sister like Aslaug who pummelled the crap out of you at every opportunity even if you were working together to try and fend her off! As a result, the twins share *everything*. Including their women. Vice versa, their woman gets both of them at once... Thorfinn and Thorkeld, as most Nordlings go, are fairly fluid in terms of their sexual positioning, happy to dominate and spitroast Claire as well as both be at her mercy during those long boat voyages to and fro the many islets they will visit over the course of their adventures.
