Why is Aisling Duval so popular?

[TheSisko]

Reading some of the recent Galnet threads is somewhat like this:

Galnet: There's a galactic summit, everyone is attending!

Commanders: What's Aisling wearing?!?!?



So why is the media princess so popular? Is it because of her anti-slavery stance? The tragic story of what happened to her mother? Her imperial upbringing? Those awesome Prismatic shields you get after 4 weeks of loyal service?

Or is it just down to her being 'hawt' ?

I think it has more to do with shapes.

 

[Zieman]

Prismatics.

Prismatics.

Both she is young and beautiful, and gives best shields (for some use cases) in the game.

Her Arx appeal is why:

Although Dents has his eye elsewhere the naughty boy:

Prismatics.

My prismatics bring all the boys to the yard
And they're like, more Mj than yours

Hot totty!

less to do with the character and more to do with the avatar I think.

She’s one of very few “good guys” among the powerplay characters, and the only one among the Imperials.

... although as the thread shows, her avatar is also a factor for some players.

The problem with that is she is only as good as her mysterious backers allow- her looks and position are there to push their agendas. Plus shes a bit of a madam in the books (if they are still canon).

Ah must switch allegiance to her, love her prismatics.

Flatterer.

Many of them haven’t been middle aged for years.

So why is the media princess so popular?

Because she's hot, duh. Being a mature man myself, Arissa is more my type. Even Winters is attractive, and I tend to side with her because she's Federation with political views that I find more favorable that Hudson's.

 

[Speedcuffs]

a bit of a madam

Spoilt brat.
Rushing head first into a concrete wall of realpolitik.

All that basking energy. Its like a Van der Graaf generator in the cockpits.

Is this the time I bring on the Cats Aisling mashups and bridge two genres in ways that should remain separate?
