Despite being here for over a dozen years, I'm probably one of the few users on the board who doesn't pay attention to the contests, and since I doubt the characters that I really want in (such as En from Echo, Jimmy Hopkins from Bully, or Kyle Hyde from Hotel Dusk) have even a thousandth of a percent chance of making it in, I decided to have users lobby characters for me to nominate.

It won't be first come, first served, but if there's a character I recognize that I love, then there's a possibility that I will immediately add them to the nomination form. I don't know contest history, but if there's a character that I assume hasn't been in the contest before (you can use that as part of your lobbying), then I am more likely to consider them.

I am not going to limit how many characters that you lobby, but try to keep to one or two per post.

So far, I have these down:
- Hat Kid (I actually nominated her for a rally tournament)
- Waluigi
- Gregg
- Richter Belmont
- Chloe Price
- Slime
- Agent 47 (one of the best characters in gaming)
- Edward Kenway

Being Considered:
- Skate
- Metal Sonic
- Monokuma (even though I don't like him and I can't say either of the games that I've played are good, but that series probably deserves to be represented in a contest)
- Marina Liteyears
- Tear Grants (not a huge fan of any Abyss characters)
- Tetra
- Black Abbott
- Green Biker Dude
- Rhys
- Fiona
- Metal Man

I don't know what game I would even put down this for:
- Cao Cao
- Decidueye
- Neptune (is this Hyperdimension?)
- Hector (you mentioned a voice actor, so I assume it isn't the original or N64 game titled "Castlevania")

Uh...:

Rathalos from Monster Hunter

The series has never been represented in a contest before. Its unlikely to get represented without some nomination lobbying, because it isn't really the kind of series that comes to mind for a "character" battle. But with Monster Hunter World releasing this year and being hugely successful (and still one of the most popular games on this site, based on the message board activity) and just recently releasing on PC, and Generations Ultimate just having been released last week for Switch, and Rathalos himself having made a crossover appearance in FFXIV and being set to appear as a boss in the new Smash Bros game, Rathalos is recognizable enough that he could well have some decent strength in a contest. He won't be a contender or anything but compared to some other characters that need rallies to get in he's probably one of the higher potential choices.

Plus Monster Hunter is great and even if he's not my favourite monster from it by a long shot, he's the face of the franchise. Monster Hunter has long been a big seller in Japan and a cult hit in the west, but now its starting to see its popularity grow worldwide, so this is the perfect time to see it get some character battle love.

I still have 7 spots left, and I'm not saying no to any of the others (I overlooked a Bulbasaur recommendation earlier). They are still being considered, well except that porn one. I do have a few questions in addition to those before asking what specific game were characters from (I know Hector was answered, but it is unlikely that I will do him or Kate Marsh due to already nominating a character from their respective games/series):

- Why Metal Man for a Mega Man robot master rep?
- Is Tetra even eligible?
- Does Sonic already have a ton of different reps from years past? I assume Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Robotnik, and Shadow, but did anyone else get in?
- Has Streets of Rage ever had a rep?

Gillian Seed (Snatcher).

Snatcher is an amazing cyberpunk game by genius storyteller Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear fame! First released in 1988, it's a graphic adventure, its play style being similar to Phoenix Wright. It got an English translation in 1994 for the SEGA/Mega CD. Gillian is the badass main character.

Sans Undertale is still a bit of an anathema for B8, but regardless, this dude is a brilliant mix of silly, hilarious, heartfelt, and occasionally terrifying. Just ignore what the fandom does with him. Please.

Hector (FE7) a bit of a meme in the FE community for being THE MANLIEST, and for good reason. Hes a FE Lord with an actual distinct personality who kicks ass and is savvy about the world hes in. And a huge axe. (Is he still the only axe lord in FE?)

You should replay it. Tear is awesome. I mean, letting Luke get arrested to teach him a lesson? Threatening a pickpocket with a knife? Being so modest about her looks? Being the only one to give a damn about Luke during his meltdown? Come on.
