Character Creation Contest (Patreon)

[The entry period is over! The first round of voting begins May 4th!]

The entry period for the character contest has begun! If you want to enter for a chance at getting a character of your own design into the game, you'll need to pledge to the Senior tier. Long term patrons who have given at least $60 in support as of this month will also be eligible regardless of their current tier. Details and guidelines for the contest can be found below.

How It Works

The contest will take place over two months, starting in April and ending at the start of June. The first month will be the entry period- anyone who's interested in entering will have all of April to put together their character design and submit it for the contest. Then the second month will be for voting! Starting the first Monday in May, there will be a poll for every week of the month. Things will work elimination style: The first poll will include all submissions, then when that poll ends, the characters with the least votes will not be included in the next week's poll. How many get knocked out each round will depend on how many entries there are total, but the last week will be between the top three finalists. More details on how voting will work to come later in the month!

When all is said and done, the winning character will then be added to the game's roster of minor characters, among the likes of Betty, Cassidy, and Claire! For winning the contest you'll be guaranteed a minimum of two substantial scenes involving your character, both of which you'll be able to pitch/discuss with me. Beyond that, when and if they appear again is up to me like any other character in the game.

Finally, the second and third place winners will get the option to have their character added to the pool of fodder characters! There's no guarantee of when, but at some point your character will appear to be prey to the player character or some similar one-off scenario. This is an optional prize that you can turn down if you'd prefer.

How To Enter

To be eligible to submit a character design to the contest, you need to pledge to the senior tier. To keep your character in the running, you'll have to maintain this pledge until the contest ends or they're eliminated in the polls, so be prepared to stay a senior for two months if you plan to enter! Once you're eligible, you can send me your entry via pm on patreon, ekas, or discord.

All you need to do to make your submission is give me a brief overview of the character you've come up with- what they look like, their personality, vore interests, maybe a little backstory, etc. Whatever details you want to give! Only a paragraph or two is probably best since others will have to read through all the entries when voting, but you're free to give as much detail as you like.  All character submissions will have to be approved by me before they're actually entered. 

A visual reference won't be required, but I would heavily recommend it to help your chances. For those not artistically inclined like me, you can use Kisekae like the 'official' reference images are made in.  Attached to this post is a text file you can use to import Emma's reference model as a base if you'd like! 

[To import her data into Kisekae, go to the magnifying glass tab and switch from "Easy" to "Expert"(if you don't see this option, you're already in expert mode). Next go to the pink tab with a pencil icon right next to that one and select "Import". From there, just copy and paste what's in the text file into the field that comes up and hit import again. You should now have an Emma to play with! Be gentle.]

Character Guidelines

There are a few simple guidelines for characters you submit:

• They have to fit the setting, of course, so they need to be: Human, Female, and not magical in any way
• They should be a student at the college. You can try to convince me if you have an idea for something other than a student that still fits the story, but it's pretty likely I'll reject it so I'd urge you to stick to a student
• They can't have a strong connection to existing major characters (Ex. You character can't be Emma's sister or something like that)
• You can use an existing OC as long as A: they fit the setting or can be tweaked to fit the setting and B: it's your OC. A friend's OC is also fine if you give me proof of permission, but please don't pester random artists (I assume anyone entering would want a character of their own design anyway, but I just want to cover my bases there.)
• By entering, you give permission for me to have creative control over the character in the context of the game if they win. I'll of course stay true to the character as best I can, but beyond the two scenes guaranteed for winning you won't be directly involved in how the character is used in the story. They will also be available for supporters on patreon to use in their scene suggestions.
• You have to be okay with your character potentially being both pred and prey

I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
