Interesting poll. I don't use Livejournal or social media, but I'm almost tempted to make an account to answer this.

I can't justify breaking my "no social media" policy for a poll, even if I do like the characters in question.

For what it's worth, though, I like both bipedal winged Gil and 'taur Gil. The first is easier to "grasp" for art, stories, and RP. Despite the hooves, wings, and so forth, you understand the body and don't get thrown off by his shape being all that different from a big human. The 'taur form is more fearsome, powerful, and primal. Maybe even more seductive, in a powerful and terrifying sort of way. But being so differently shaped from what's expected, his shape becomes something that distracts from him. Writers have to take it into account, artists may have a harder time drawing him, and when confronted by him a normal person might find him odd enough that their mind just fails to comprehend the situation as it should.

Personality-wise, I like a mix, but leaning more towards Gil's side of things. He is what he is, and he does what he does. Good or innocent, his victims are and remain what they are/were (usually). Corrupting someone to turn them evil and THEN tearing them apart, especially given the larger role of your demons you've mentioned elsewhere, seems less "force of nature" and more "actively evil".

That's an interesting view of the "taur" shape, and perhaps that is the very reason I am finding it more appealing. I've got a big commission coming down the line (which features Gil, Odon, Varke, Asterion, and even Chaos all together!), and one of the options I'm going to be presented with will be those two forms for him. Not sure which I'll end up choosing there, but there will be sketches of both, so it will probably base on that.

Lately though, both in terms of personality and physical build, I admit the snake has been way more in my mind than Gil. These things come and go with time, but the agent of temptation / corruption has been fun to run through my mind recently as well as that long serpentine body. In fact, thinking of the temptation / corruption side of him, he actually almost fits in to the Christian "serpent in the garden of Eve" mythos. :)

I actually thought it was set up to let people without accounts answer. Maybe that option just allows people with accounts in no way linked to mind to reply, though... Oh, well.

Dar' is always my favortite. He's got the combination of raw power and brutality that is hard to match!

Odon! Because snake! But also because I adore more psychological and corruption based characters than just brute force :3

Polled. I have a bias towards snakes/non-human nagas soooo...yeah...Odontaspis is <3

Yeah. In fact, I don't call him a "naga" generally, since I view that as a different creature. Most of the traditional "nagas" in mythos are human-headed serpents lacking arms or anything of that sort (though they may have multiple heads). He's more the sort of creature from the old D&D "Yuan'Ti" race.

And yeah, there's a certain beauty to that serpentine form in general, isn't there?

I quite agree

o'course I'm also biased from a vore-lover's standpoint :P
