Okay, so in @Johnbobb's top 5 topic, he suggested a "Save My B8 OC" when I asked him for his top 5 ideas for SMCs. I didn't like the idea of a Save My, as people would have zero investment once their character was out. The idea germinated into a 32-entrant tournament where B8ers vote on each other's original characters, based on who they like. This isn't the "Most Powerful OC" contest, after all.

Each user will be allowed one nomination. Johhbobb is guaranteed a nomination. The following rules apply:
-It must be a wholly original character created by the nominating user.
-This character CAN have been inspired by an existing character, people in your real life, people in your dreams - whatever.
-It may not be a crossover or direct ripoff of a character subject to copyright. This includes but is not limited to gender-bends, alternate timeline selves, and new versions of existing characters.
-It CAN be a character in someone else's universe provided the character is not mentioned in the official work in any way.
-If you don't have a character to nominate, you're free to create one just for this contest.

For example, "check it out, here's my new Spider-Man!!" is not allowed, even if said character is a female not mentioned in any Spider-Man media. A new crime-fighting partner for Spider-Man will work, provided it's not one that already exists and doesn't have anything to do with spiders.

Any questions, let me know.

To nominate a character, I'm going to need some propaganda to display in matchups, so people have a basis on which to vote. The following are required:
1. An image. Can be hand-drawn, computer-generated, put together using an online avatar service, made in The Sims like mine (the Create-A-Sim demo is free), whatever suits you. You may not use an image of a real person or Photoshop an existing person (including actors) into your character. This image must be something you created yourself using the tools available to you.
2. An introduction. Have your character, using THEIR voice, introduce themselves in a paragraph. Can include as many details as you want.
3. The basics. Who are they? What is their job? Their age? Their character flaw? Whatever details they're not explaining that we need to know, fill us in. Don't summarize their whole story - who'd want to spoil it? One character flaw is required.

I'd like to have an even playing field, so I ask you don't go to the lengths of adding things like musical themes or entire anthologies that people can read if they want to. This is meant to be a brief synopsis of the character. Characters will NOT be attached to users in the matchup topics - this is about the characters.

My nomination below can be used as an example. Please note you don't have to make an entire flyer. I can make you one if you'd like.


This will be open until all 31 other entrants are nominated, after which the bracket will be randomly generated. If it will take you a while to throw your nomination together, please confirm your interest first. Thanks and happy nominating!
