Hey!
While drafting some ideas I had for other stories I realized that I’m an idiot! Unfortunate. Anyways, my questionable foresight aside, I realized that if I wait till February to post the poll for my secondary story I’ll have to spend at least the first week waiting on results since I want to give everyone time to answer. Instead of having to deal with that delay figured I’d do it now.
By the way, this is mostly for me to gauge interest. Plans don’t always go the way we want to so a good idea I have might not be developing well enough by the time February rolls around or my interest might change. Want to choose something I’m dedicated to writing while getting in a word from you all.
Let’s jump right into it.

My Hero Academia: The Bloody Mess
Summary (This summary is sort of meant to be read like an actual narrator rather than the MC’s perspective. Think like the narrator from Baki or Love Is War):
His parents were vain.
At only a single year of age, young Katsuya Toga came to that realization. And he was not wrong, money and status constantly at the front of their minds. Which did they crave more? With so little experience and a limited understanding of the world despite his strangely enhanced mental capabilities, he could not say but he did know one thing.
Both served the other, creating a never ending cycle.
Soon he learned they weren’t just vain. They were selfish idiots.
A realization that cemented itself at only four years old, when his twin sister, Himiko Toga, developed her quirk. Born as little more than accessories meant to help fit the image the couple had of themselves, her quirk, coming with unnatural cravings for blood, put her on the receiving end of their parents’ ire.
She was to suppress and hide what society deemed the freakish part of her quirks.
He went along with it not to please his parents but for his and the safety of his twin sister.
For, unbeknownst to his parents, Young Katsuya Toga had learned one damning detail about his own quirk, one he’d been keeping hidden since his birth. The urge, the insatiable hunger, the raw force of nature demanding that he feed was not satisfied by animals, his own spilled blood, or blood packs. What he needed, what the dark force within screamed for, was fresh blood from another, willing or unwilling.
His solution? Be the perfect member of society, the perfect student, then the perfect hero.
After all, committing crimes in the nation protected by All Might was just asking to be arrested. More importantly, no one would suspect one of the top hero’s protecting them to be draining a few people here and there. And if he were ever caught? Well, it was just an honest mistake that could be forgiven, after all, it was all being done to protect innocent people from dangerous criminals, right?
But society was often as vain as his very own parents.
Naturally, becoming a hero with even half the respect of a cultural icon like All Might meant graduating from UA. Something young Katsuya’s twin sister wasn’t going to let him do alone.

Elden Ring; Maedryn of the Frenzied Flame
Summary:
Reborn as a demigod within the safety of a thriving dynasty, Eric should've been thrilled by the opportunity. A chance to wield magic. A chance to discover foreign lands. A chance to lay eyes on mythical beasts. What fantasy lover wouldn't drool over a situation like that?
Problem was, his reincarnation brought him to The Lands Between: a cruel world fated for suffering yet to come. If that wasn't bad enough he was reborn as Maedryn, one of three triplets born to Lord Radagon and Queen Marika, Malenia and Miquella being his twins. Mirroring them, he too was born cursed.
Cursed to house the Frenzied Flame.
The assassination of Godwyn the Golden, the Shattering, and all the suffering and chaos that would follow. Eric, now Maedryn, must prepare to survive the whirlwind of catastrophe all while contending with a searing flame eating away at him beneath the surface and all the dark impulses that come with his curse.

Skyrim: The Crystaline Adventurer
Summary:
A world of pollution and endless war. Enlisted into the military from a young age he’d spent most of his life as just another cog in the machine that was his nation. Doing his part as it was always told to him.
Utter bullshit.
But he did as he was told, surviving suicide mission after suicide mission. What other choice did he have with the alternative was being arrested and sent to prisons that none ever left?
None at all.
Or at least that’s what he thought.
A mission gone wrong and the discovery of a strange crystal worlds away rips him away from his and strands him in the heart of a land known as Skyrim. Rather than seeing it as a bad thing or desperately seeking out some way to returns, he seizes the opportunity, deciding to make the most of his life in this new world.

Naturally there will also be an option to just continue the Elden Ring story I already got posted. Check out my profile on webnovel if you want to learn more about it. Now for those only interested in voting just skip past everything else. The rest is just my opinion and a little expanding on each of the ideas.
Off rip, the ones I’m most interested in are the MHA and new Elden Ring ideas. MHA might take the lead there since the MC is a bit different than any I’ve written. While he hasn’t fully crossed the threshold over due to Himiko, he was born a boarderline psychopath due to supernatural aspects of his quirk. A lot of his blood abilities will be inspired by all sorts of media that feature blood users but Big Choso from jujutsu Kaisen will be the main one. The other aspect of his quirk is heavily inspired by the deep cut known as The Darkness: a game from like 2000s I played back on the 360. Think of it like dark shadow but, well, much darker and ominous in nature. Himiko will also be a big character in it since they’re twins.
The Elden Ring one is a bit, well odd. Straight going to start with a warning that the thing that rhymes with incense is up in that story. The MCs related to Marika and just about every other major character is too so…eh its not like it’s a first for the universe. I’m just following the pattern that’s been set. Other than that the summary covers a lot of the main story stuff. Set way before the shattering so all the demigods will be major players rather than mortals. Should be interesting.
The Skyrim one is just neat. I don’t have much to say about it other than its transmigration rather than reincarnation. Oh and the main party will be a small party/kind mercenary group of OCs /and or might feature characters from mods. Skyrim just kinds of lends itself to go crazy with a small party and all having different reasons for exploring the land, leading to all the different in game content when writing.Might have it take place a good bit before the civil war has fully taken off so they have time before dragons show up.
And finally back around to my old Elden Ring story. Kind of started that with smut as my main focus, developed a way stronger interest in writing than expected and the whole head space is kind of different now. Still interested in finishing it one of these days cause I actually did make something interesting, at least to me, despite the reason behind the shallow reason for its creation, but I’m need to enter the right head space. Still would like to know how much interest there is in it.
Interested in seeing what you all think!
