-Matches will last exactly 24 hours. Votes after that much time has elapsed will not be counted, even if a new topic hasn't gone up yet.
-This is a contest to determine which character is the most *powerful*. Vote only for the character you think would win in a fight, not the one who's funnier, cooler, or sexier. If you don't do that I can't count your vote.
-BOLD YOUR VOTE. Unbolded votes will NOT be counted.
-Rallying is allowed. Alts are not.
-Fights will take place in a neutral terrain. This does not necessarily mean a *featureless* terrain: assume that both characters will have a chance to use all of their skills to the fullest here, barring setting-specific abilities and anything that requires the presence of multiple enemies (but see below).
-Characters start the fight alone. They don't bring allies with them, like Kerrigan and the Zerg Swarm for instance. Summons are allowed though, provided they're brought once combat has started.
-Fighters retain their usual personalities. They won't fight to kill unless that's their MO, and won't spam their best attacks to win unless, again, that's how they act in their original media.
-You don't have to justify your vote, but it helps. If you feel like you can add something to the debate, go right ahead!
-Seriously, BOLD THE VOTE. So important it bears repeating.

(3) Sovereign
From Mass Effect, the Sovereign is a massive dreadnaught ship, sapient and capable of mass destruction. Also known as Nazara, it is equipped with immensely powerful Mass Effect fields, strong enough to enable it to land on a planet without difficulty. The Sovereign is equipped with durable kinetic shields, capable of withstanding extremely heavy fire from other ships without suffering so much as a scratch. It is armed with a potent main gun mounted along its spine, capable of destroying dreadnaughts with a single shot, as well as other, lesser weapons. Its two-kilometer long body is crewed by Indoctrinated sapients, which are little more than a shell of their former selves. Notable among them is Saren Arterius, the rogue Spectre, a skilled warrior and biotic who has also been reprogrammed by Sovereign to be fanatically loyal to him. Should Saren die, the Sovereign is capable of reanimating him through his extensive cybernetic implants, using his corpse as a powerful host body.
(6) Luke Skywalker
From Star Wars, Luke Skywalker is one of the most powerful Jedi Knights of all time. Able to tap into the Force, the life energy that permeates all things, Luke exhibits this connection through telepathic and telekinetic abilities. He fights with a lightsaber, an energy-based weapon that can instantly cut through most objects, in addition to both his natural and trained Force abilities.
Luke can use Force Sense to judge positions of objects and future movements of people; his Telekinesis has been so strong as to fight the pull of a miniature black hole and crush spaceships, as well as teleport objects around; his use of Force Defend was once described as rooting him in the center of the Force itself, becoming the essence of the immovable object; and his skill with a lightsaber allowed him to cut through countless warriors as well as Yuuzhan Vong Slayers, beings bred and trained solely to kill Jedi. His signature Electric Judgment move consists of green sparks that can disable or kill opponents instantly.
