Board 8 > [B8BOC] Board 8's Best Original Character, Day 10: Obrov vs. Winona

(+) Yeah! (+)

RULES:
1. Vote for the character you like more. That's it.
2. Each user gets one vote per match (no alts). These are one-on-ones, after all.
3. Rounds last exactly 24 hours from the opening post and any votes thereafter will be disregarded.
4. I (Metalmind) will post a new match daily at about 6 PM PT, excepting brief scheduled breaks for Thanksgiving and one day where I have a prior commitment.
5. The users who nominated each character will be kept hidden, as votes are for characters, not users. Users are forbidden from rallying, including posting additional propaganda that is not already in this opening post, as this can give their character an unfair advantage.
6. You are allowed, and in fact encouraged, to vote for the character you nominated. Or don't if you truly prefer their opponent, I'm not your boss!
7. Bumping support to keep this topic on the front page is appreciated, especially when I'm not available (typically from about 4 AM to 3 PM PT).

"Man, don't make me talk about myself, it's not a fun story to tell. Was born as a big, ugly fucker, and got abandoned for it. Fosters, teachers, kids... nobody was really a fan of me, but I still worked my ass off to try and make it through school, only to be taken in by an insane scientist. I thought I had found a home with him, only for him to use me as a test subject, warping my mind along with my face, and then discard me. I'm particularly strong and durable, so after dropping out I found steady factory work to get me by, living alone as the giant monster of the slums... Still, can't help but want to do something better. Find a way to prove I'm more than what my looks suggest."

-7'4", ~500 lbs.
-Combat oriented in the RPG he comes from, with partial invulnerability and a signature studded wooden club.
-Constantly wears a mask over his face. Underneath, it is horrifyingly deformed and covered in various burns and scars. Similar marks litter his body.
-While good at heart, he's a loner who is distrusting of others and easily angered.

"Believe it or not, thats really me. I live in Pittsburgh, where I work as a barista at a local caf. What Im truly passionate about, though, is my role as the guitarist and sometime singer of the band a few friends and I formed a few years back. I usually like to spend my downtime alone with my cat Possum, listening to music or playing video games. Uh, what else is there to say about me? Sorry, I know this is a bit awkward Im not exactly the most outgoing person ever."

The basics:
- Age 24; dyes her hair a different color every few weeks.
- Winona has a grounded perspective on life, in large part thanks to having to mature quickly in her childhood.
- However, among her many secrets is that shes a dreamer at heart; shes also capricious by nature, with a tendency to run away from her problems rather than facing them.
- Additionally, she has somewhat of a taste for the unique and extravagant, particularly when it comes to outfits for performances.
- Winona leans pansexual, but she struggles to come to terms with her gender identity and feel comfortable in her own skin, in part due to a challenging upbringing dotted with tragedy (in a small post-industrial town to the east of Pittsburgh) and strained relations with her working-class family.

I'm leaning Winona, I guess? Both are interesting in very different ways.

Sigh, I forgot that direct imgur links don't play on GameFAQs, and you have to open them in a new tab, then refresh to see the image.

This image should work without those extra steps: https://imgur.com/9KSb0EK
