Disclaimer: I don't own Legends of Chima, and I'm out of snide comments to make here.
Dear Readers: Consider this an interest check. I'm trying something new and I hope people like it! Illumination Day is one of my personal Chima headcanons.
Weird Update On The Author's Personal Life: I'm writing an essay about how love is bad and it makes you promise your soul to Satan; I'm quite proud of it.
"Welcome, one and all, to a very special Illumination Day Speedor tournament!" A lanky white eagle with short feather tufts announced to the crowd gathered near the steps of the Lion Temple. She was wearing blue-tinted goggles. "I'm Evara, and this is Ravyx." She landed on a crate and gestured to her companion.
"Hello everyone." A raven wearing a vest was swinging a golden pocketwatch by its chain. He appeared to have metal splints on his wings. "As you know, on Illumination Day we celebrate the Second Illumination, the day that the great heroes of Chima used the Firewings to return Chima to peace. This happened today, exactly fifty years ago." The crowd cheered.
"To celebrate, we are holding a very special Speedor tournament," Evara explained. "Eight of the most talented young racers in Chima will be competing for not only the Golden Chi, but for glory! May the best tribe win!"
Welcome to the first ever (as far as I know) Legends of Chima SYOC! For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it stands for "Submit Your Own Characters". Your characters will be a part of the story and I will write them to the best of my ability. Applications will be open until the end of the year- hopefully I'll get enough submissions sooner. This fandom is small, and I'm not sure how many people will be interested. If I get a ton of apps I may increase the number of contestants, and if I get fewer I will fill the remaining slots myself.
The application will be on my profile. Here are a few guidelines when creating your OC:
1. Your OC may be from any of the following tribes, or a combination of two: lion, crocodile, wolf, raven, eagle, gorilla, rhino, bear, beaver, scorpion, bat, spider, sabertooth, vulture, mammoth, ice bear
2. Please be creative- I want a diverse cast. I'm only accepting one character from each tribe (or 1.5 in the case of hybrids) and two hybrids max. I'd love to get an even or close to even gender ratio too, but I don't want to discourage non-binary characters.
3. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. These are characters with no flaws.
4. No characters directly related to canon characters.
5. I am only accepting apps via PM. If you read this, put "For Chima!" somewhere on your app. If you review your character I cannot accept it- it's against the rules of this site.
That's it for now! I hope you're interested, and submit a character if you are!
