Choose Your Own Addendum Poll

In case you aren't familiar with what's happening here:

As part of the book 2 launch stuff, RR and Patreon will each choose an existing side-character to feature in an upcoming addendum. (RR chose Godking Ayamari btw)

You folks submitted ideas for characters last week, and here is the poll to decide which character gets to become a shining star.

If you're like me, read a billion fics, and forget all the side characters between books, you might be wondering who the fuck some of these people are. Welp, here's who the fuck these people are:

The Alabaster Hand Mage: "Once I dispelled the glare of her soul, I noticed that she had bright blue hair and skin so white she looked like a mannequin. She went into a small shop across the street from me, and when she emerged with a package she summoned an enormous alabaster hand, hopped onto it, then flew off into the sky."
Featured in book 1 and never seen again, the Alabaster Hand Mage made brief appearances in several place during Arlo's early journey through Hiward. She's a controller working for Central who took charge of Low-Lord 'Typhoon' Demarsus after the warehouse brawl and the Chovali Alpha after the battle on the Foundation River. She is always seen summoning a mighty Divine hand to fly to and fro, while complaining about how much of a hassle her job is. What is she doing these days? Why did I make her seem important and then abandon her character? Maybe it's time to find out...

Seinnador: Owner and purveyor of Seinnador's Combat Regalia, Seinnador is a Timan merchant operating out of the Hiwardian capital, Foundation. He was featured in book 1 outfitting Arlo with his first solid set of equipment, introduced the concept of System Insight while inspecting Arlo's boa and vest, and taught our MC the fabled Explosion! spell. He's a Silver Delver who specialized in aggressive combat magic, retiring after a full career to open a shop that caters to Delvers in their early levels. He also has a contract with Arlo to purchase poison essences, which was renewed since Arlo technically violated the agreement by disappearing into Deijin's Descent for a year. What's he been up to? How is he dealing with the tragedy and strife in his homeland?

Ealdric "Papa Junior" Ravvenblaq Jr.: Varrin's grandpa and the son of the Ravvenblaq patriarch, Papa Junior is among the first-born generation of Hiwardians after their rebellion against the Littan Empire. Junior is a world-renown crafter, an innovator of magical weapon smithing, and the creator of Varrin's sword Kazandak and Arlo's shield Gracorvus. Frequently discussed but never before seen, what is Papa Junior up to while the world deals with phase 2 and the ever growing avatar threat?

Ealdric "Drift" Ravvenblaq IV: Varrin's older brother Drift was featured in some bonus scenes added to book 2 during my edit for the Amazon launch. Those bonus scenes can be found here if you have not read them. We don't know a whole lot about Drift, other than he seems like a fairly suave fellow who had some strong connections with certain people in Canotha, the Timan city that was destroyed early in book 2. At that time he was a Level 12 Platinum, but how has he progressed since then in the wake of his younger--and as he opines, more talented--brother Varrin's success?

Supreme General Diathemon Tyrianaeonis: Tyrianaeonis is the necromancer Elder Lich who was 'trapped' in the Throne of Zng Delve in volume 4. They 'escaped' after some very poor Delve management by the Delve Core Throne, winding up on the moon, where they were featured in a two-part addendum alongside Avarice. The ancient Zng undead witnessed the fall of the prior generation, the destruction of Hysteria, and controls hundreds of thousands of Grade 12+ undead minions. What does he plan to do with that army? Why is he working with Avarice?

Mm, how about you do the top 3 xD? It's a hard choice.

A solid crew of side-characters. Honestly, these polls have made me want to explore a lot more of the world through addendums. We're already getting some of that with the more recent chapters, but we'll be returning to Arlo's adventures very soon.
