Create a Kalquorian - The Final Word on Conyod and We're On to Erybet and Sletran

You have spoken.  The overwhelming majority of you have said you want a say in the rest of Conyod's clan. 

These polls will be going faster than before, as I am already outlining Alien Redemption and need my characters ready to jump in.  We will create our Dramok and Nobek simultaneously, so there will be two different polls each week.  Some options will be the same as the ones we had for Conyod, especially where physical characteristics are concerned.

A little background on our clan is in order here.  Dramok Erybet, chief commander of five companies of ground attack forces, along with his Nobek Sletran, who was in direct command of one of those companies, went off to fight the war against Earth.  Conyod stayed behind on Kalquor.  They kept in regular contact for the most part, but near war's end, Conyod lost all communications with his clanmates.  He didn't even know where they were located.  After the war ended, he finally heard from them just days before they came home.

There has been little to celebrate since their return.  Both are on administrative leave, though they assure Conyod it isn't for any wrongdoing.  They were invovlved in heavy fighting and it has been determined by Erybet's direct supervisor that they are due a year's respite.  Erybet and Sletran are changed men.  Erybet has lost a lot of the confidence that made him a leader men could count on.   Sletran disappears for hours at a time, usually in the middle of the night while his clanmates are sleeping.  He is now prone to sudden fits of rage in which he destroys his belongings.  He has even turned this inexplicable anger upon himself, hacking off his long hair with a knife.  Despite Conyod's pleas to know what happened to them so he can help Sletran, his clanmates will only tell him they are sworn to secrecy in the interest of the empire's security.

Our first polls have to do with our two Kalquorians' hair.  Obviously with Sletran, we won't be worrying about the length and style, as his impromptu cutting means his is now growing out.   You only have to worry about the texture of his.

Now on to Conyod.  Our Imdiko is done!  The last poll cited his motto, which was ‘From caring comes courage.’ - Lao Tzu.  So, here's the full look at the hunky Kalquorian you helped create:

Create a Kalquorian: New Poll is Up

It's that time again, and we're now doing the next-to-the-last poll to create our Imdiko.  It's up to you to choose Conyod's childhood event that changed his life.  Ready ... set ... vote!

Results from last poll:  You decided Conyod's greatest accomplishment was being chosen to be a part of the Earther Matara psychological team.  Out of over two hundred applicants he was top choice.  Good work, all.

Create a Kalquorian: New Poll Coming Saturday

Every person has some childhood event that shapes them for the rest of their life.  Whether it's the loss of a loved one, divorce, illness, or some other game changer, we've all experienced something that colored our world from then on.  On Saturday, we will begin to discover what Imdiko Conyod went through in his childhood that made him the man he is now.

Create a Kalquorian: New Poll is Up

You voted and Conyod has a hobby:  breeding champion kestarsh, the Kalquorian version of the horse.  It was neck-and-neck for most of the voting between that and amateur historian, but at the very end, you equestrian lovers came through. 

Now you get to choose our Imdiko's greatest accomplishment, the one that has given him the most pride in himself.  Is it that his breeding efforts produced a champion?  Is it saving the life of a suicidal Nobek?  Beating out hundreds of other applicants to join the Earther Matara psychological team?  Or that his higher-ranking clanmates chose him for an Imdiko?  That's for you to decide, so vote!

Create a Kalquorian: Face Poll is Up

Imdiko Conyod is coming together nicely.  You've given him a body that's average sized for a Kalquorian, around six and a half feet tall, with gorgeously defined muscles ... especially that chiseled chest and those perfect abs.  Nice job, all!

It's time to put a face on our hottie.  You have several options for 'The Look' as well as choosing his facial hair (or the lack of).  Please select everything that appeals to you. 

More fun than a Mr. Potato Head, isn't he?

Create a Kalquorian: New Poll Is Up!

You have decided to create Imdiko Conyod first.  He is a psychologist on Kalquor who specializes in traumatized Mataras.  Despite being an excellent therapist, he is currently at a loss to deal with his clanmates.  They have returned from the Earth/Kalquorian War changed men he barely recognizes.

We begin with physical characteristics, starting with the hair.  You have three choices to make on this poll:  length, texture, and style.  I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.  Have fun!
