Character Creation Contest and Call for Art! (Patreon)
Content
Now that June is over, I'm trying to clean up all the things that I owe. There are three main things. The character contest, some commissioned art, and the website.
The second two will take some more time as I try and hammer out the details. But it's finally time for the first!
Oh, but before I get into that, in addition to the art I am going to commission, I can always use more art. If you would like a special thanks on my upcoming website, in addition to the Patreon Donor thank you's, please make some LoRG art!
Oh, oh, one last thing. More goals will be coming in the next week. I think I want to rework my goals to be more reasonable, and add some more interesting things. Look forward to it.
Now the character contest~
I would ask that submissions follow the following format.
Name: Randidly Ghosthound
Class: (Broken)
Skill Focus: Root Manipulation, Spear Skills
Personality: Antisocial, Oblivious, Thoughtful
Backstory: Has shitty parents, two close friends Ace and Sydney, and a ex girlfriend, who he broke up with the night the system arrived. Was hit with a two headed ram's ass as an introduction to the new world. Started in a dungeon.
Connection to the Plot: Is the MC
Interesting Paths: (Too many to list)
So a little explanation on each above. Name is pretty self explanatory. As is class. Although Randidly has avoided a class, and people can take the path of a Heretic, that has some complications that won't be revealed until later, for plot reasons.
Skill focus is just want you want your character to be good at. It could be weird things, like Cooking or Farming, or more combat focus skills, either from other characters or made up.
Personality I want 3-5 traits to describe the character.
Backstory should please be 6 or less sentences. Keep it simple. If your character is chosen as a finalist, we can talk more detailed.
Connection to the plot is your control over how they introduced. Are they an NCC from Donnyton? From Franksburg? Are they still wandering around without a class? Or perhaps they are from one of the other towns that sprung up before RG left for Shal's world? Even a spear-user from Shal's world is acceptable, if that's what you really want.
Paths are very important to the story, so if you have a cool path idea or two, let me know, and what the rewards are.
Now for the more general rules. the contest starts now, and ends next Sunday at midnight. I will post the rules to Royalroad Wednesday, so Patrons have a head start. In addition, I will check in here much more frequently, to answer any questions you may have.
I do not care if you have multiple entries. But make separate posts. If I see an entry that I think looks enough like what I'm looking for, I'll copy it to my list and post "Entered" to let you know I saw it.
Depending on how many people enter, I'll pick several finalists, and then select one winner. Then I will create a poll to vote for the reader's favorite top 2, which will also be put into the story. If you win, I'll send a message and talk more about the details of the character, to make sure you are satisfied.
Anyways, hopefully you guys have as much fun creating characters as I do! Good Luck and please submit entries~
