CREATE ME A CHARACTER

Basically, what I want you to do is invent a character. They could be human, or a half-werewolf, half-troll. They could be buried in folklore, or a species discovered last week.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
- A short piece of writing about your character. Needs to be at least 500 words, but has no maximum limit.
- A minor description of your character. Now, you can do this however you want, ID card, diary entry, any which way. As long as I get a good overview of the character's appearance, personality, etc.

PRIZE
5k to the winner. If I get any *amazing donations* I might raise the prize winnings.

COMPETITION WILL CLOSE WHEN I GET 20 ENTRIES OR NOVEMBER 31st, WHICHEVER IS SOONER

ENTRIES CAN BE EITHER PM'd OR POSTED HERE.


ENTRIES TO DATE: 0

I'm sort of confused. Are you going to use the character (i.e. steal our work,) or are you just trying to see what we come up with?

Hazy Mornings does have a point. If you do use the character(s) we come up with, credit would probably be good.

However, Hazy Mornings, if he gives the winner 5K for the use of the character.. that wouldn't really be stealing since he 'bought' the character with Gaia gold. Guess we'll just have to wait until he replies.

If he's buying a character for Gaia gold, then that's sort of saying that he's getting credit for nothing. I don't know, it seems strange to me.

Maybe a better way for this competition to go would be a "tutoring session" for character creation? It never occurred to me before, but Gaia-gold paid tutoring sessions could be interesting.

That's seems to be a good idea there, Poppi, but what do you mean by tutoring session? Do you mean as in "How to come up with a character" thing? xP

I think she is referring to a contest where people show off their character creation methodologies. Not sure, though.

Yep, that's what I meant. As in a "How to come up with a character tutorial session sign-up tournament", if that makes any sense at all ;P. The Preliminary Round for tutors.
