Board 8 > [B8BOC] Board 8's Best Original Character, Day 7: Spirit vs. Talirah

(+) Yeah! (+)

Last one still has like 45 minutes, but I'm going to bed shortly so I wanted to get this up.

RULES:
1. Vote for the character you like more. That's it.
2. Each user gets one vote per match (no alts). These are one-on-ones, after all.
3. Rounds last exactly 24 hours from the opening post and any votes thereafter will be disregarded.
4. A new match will be posted daily by Andy or Metalmind, with a break for Thanksgiving.
5. Each vote counts - the votes are what matters most. The match's winner will get bonus votes equal to 20% of the total votes in a match, rounded down. Both will get the bonus in a tie.
6. Characters will face off against every other character in their division once, with division champions (most total votes) moving on to the Finals and runners-up to the Wild Card. If there's a tie, the tiebreakers are 1) whoever has more wins and 2) average margin of victory.
7. The users who nominated each character will be kept hidden, as votes are for characters, not users. Users are forbidden from rallying, including posting additional propaganda that is not already in this opening post, as this can give their character an unfair advantage.
8. Please keep this topic bumped to the front page!

John "Spirit" Davison

Hi! You wanted me to introduce myself right? Well um... My name is Spirit, and I'm almost 10 years old! I'm working with my friends, the Justice League of No Man's Land, to help save Gotham after that big earthquake destroyed it and those jerks in the government decided to trap everyone here. Lots of people think I'm too young to be a superhero, but I can help so I'm going to anyway!

Additional notes:
- Real name: John Davison.
- His parents died early in his life, leaving him to be raised by his brother, Jack.
- Was captured by cannibals and nearly dead by the time Jack found him. Jack gave his life in order to save Spirit's.
- Jack's ghost is now bound to Spirit and can possess him temporarily
- His powers are invisibility and healing, so he believes it's his job to keep the rest of the team alive
- Is easily frustrated when people look down on him because of his age.
- Has a tendency to enter into conversations uninvited

Talirah Isiset

Oh hello! My name is Talirah Isiset. PRINCESS Talirah- err...perhaps QUEEN Talirah Isiset? That is silly. You may call me Tali, because we are friends now and my friends call me Tali. Or Sekhmet. But that one is a secret. My secret identity. But again, very big secret. You are not supposed to tell people who you are if you have a secret identity. But yes, my life is hard to explain, but what I have pieced together is that I lived thousands of years ago, and then one day I awoke in this city with no memory of myself. And now that memory has returned, and I am so grateful to this place; I will FIGHT to protect it.

Name: Talirah Isiset (aka Sekhmet)
Profession: Former Part-Time Library Assistant, Current Superheroine-in-Training (Ancient Egyptian Princess)
Age: 19 (3794 as of October 3rd, 1998)
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 134 lbs.
Setting: Tali is a character from an offshoot universe of the No Man's Land plotline of DC Comics.
Abilities: Tali is pyrokinetic, and in addition to creating and manipulating fire, she can also summon fire serpents.
Character Flaw: Tali is extremely naive and overly trusting, to the point of thinking up plans and making decisions without considering potential consequences, often to her detriment.

The only ones I have drawn right now are the No Man's Land ones (mine, Spirit, Tali and Artemis). Funny enough the other No Man's Land ones for characters that weren't entered in the contest were almost all better (Artemis in particular was by far my worst one)

I might try to draw some other entries if I'm feeling inspired

Which is fine, of course. I wish more of them had been entered tbqh.

(prime time bump)
