Hello fellow guildies~

I have a special little contest/game for y'all since I haven't been around in such a long time and this would be an opportunity for all of us to get some creativity going!

((Note: I'm posting this under Freebies since I feel it doesn't fit under Guild Games so much, especially with the 3 day limit on the prize handling))

~~~Objective~~~

Create an original character with a backstory and at least one scenario event in their current life that best represents how they are as an individual.

The one that appeals to me most wins!
I will also have a couple friends who are professional or aspiring writers give me their opinion on your submissions.
Please be sure that you are OK with that idea if you are going to enter my contest.

~~~Rules~~~

1) Must be your own original designed character; please do not plagiarize other peoples' work... it'd be really obvious and it won't help you win at all

2) Character Backstory must be at minimum, 3 paragraphs long

3) Short Scenario Story must be at minimum 3 paragraphs long

4) Absolutely NO pictures are allowed! You may reference your own pictures, but do not have them in your submissions as it biases the imagination.

5) All submissions must be PM'ed to me with "OCContest Submission: " in the header!

6) All submissions must be in by Feb 28! Plenty of time to get those creative juices going!

7) I try as much as possible to be lenient, but if you're not able to follow the above rules then your submission will automatically be denied. I will at least respectfully let you know of this so you can edit and re-submit.


Note: I love reading stories! Feel free to submit your works in script form if that works best for you.

1 Paragraph = 5 sentences
Equivalent Script Length for 3 Paragraphs = 60 lines

~~~Grand Prize~~~

Artwork from me of your created original character to go with your submission~!
The piece itself will be full-body, full-colored, etc ... basically just as fully fleshed out as your submissions and I will place a good amount of time and care into it.

~~~Consolation Prize~~~

As a token of my appreciation for your efforts, all entrants (with exception to the grand prize winner) who have submitted qualified entries will receive a gold prize from me based on a dice roll.

The gold prize will be 100M x 1d20
(20 sided dice roll ... Range of 100M to 2B)

Given that your submissions will be thoroughly read and reviewed, if you would like feedback on it please let me know so one can be prepared for you. Note that you will not receive feedback on your submission until AFTER the contest is over and the winner is determined.

Be proud of your entries!
Think of this as an opportunity to motivate yourself into making your own original character for RPs or exploring your imagination!

heart

And there you have it~!
Good luck to all of you -- I look forward to reading your submissions!

You are all free to brainstorm amongst yourselves here.
Remember though, this is a contest and revealing some of your ideas may place you at a disadvantage against the other contestants~~

As long as it is readable and I can understand it, I won't be too strict about it :3
I will let you know though if it becomes somewhat of a problem -- just be sure to throw it through a spell check at the least :3

Saw this earlier and forgot to come back and check it out...!
Ack, this is really hard though, since I usually draw a character first before coming up with a backstory X'D

As a note~ There are no restrictions on the character needing to be human and/or alive.

This was a question brought up by someone so just an FYI~
