OC Contest Rules and Regulations
Heyyyyyy homies and homettes, it's Trey-El here with a new OC Contest. While I'm working on the second chapter of Jungle Spirits (which I am rewriting into a better premise), I decided to have a new OC Contest to work on as a side project to it. If things go as I plan (which they often don't), then I should be done with the next Jungle Spirits chapter (finally) and begin the planning stages of the Nexus Beasts rewrite.
Anyway, this story is going to be called Mythic Elements; with the motif being mostly elements with mythical beasts being the foundation of it. Unlike with Nexus Beasts where I based the story off of the bio of the submitted villains, this time around I have a story ready, which is as follows:
Millennia ago, the medieval world was trapped in a war with elemental beings known as Avatars. When all seemed lost for mankind, 5 or the Avatars with the powers of Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, and Wind defected and saved the world alongside specifically chosen humans. In the end, the 5 avatars chose to lock themselves away with their former brethren, wanting to watch over them in case they escaped. Now, in 2019, the villainous Avatars along with their heroic counterparts have reawakened, leading to a new war for the human race.
So there's the story and what should be the basis of the summited characters I hope to be seeing soon. As for the contest, here is the characters you can submit.
HEROES: For this section, I'm putting two different forms that go together. So, you have your rangers obviously and the five defect Avatars from the story synopsis. Essentially, If you want to submit a Ranger or Hero Avatar, you have to submit both as the two are linked (the rangers get their powers from the Avatars).
EDIT: Due to a comment from Akarenger (hope I got that right), I've decided to bend the rules a bit. If you want to only submit a Ranger or Avatar separately, you can do so. That is all
So here are those forms:
RANGERS
Full Name:
Nickname(s):
Age (19-25):
Gender:
Personality:
Appearance:
Clothes:
Family:
Backstory:
Color (Red, Yellow, Blue, White, and Black):
Element (Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, or Wind):
Weapon:
Zord:
AVATARS
Name:
Nickname(s):
Age :
Gender:
Personality:
Appearance:
Backstory:
Weakness:
Element (Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, or Wind):
So to be clear, the ranger and Avatar you submit are partners and as such have the same element and probably the same colors as well.
For this next section, these are the Allies who I feel need no introduction.
ALLIES
Full Name:
Nickname(s):
Age (20-50):
Gender:
Personality:
Appearance:
Clothes:
Backstory:
Occupation:
Next are the villains who are also Avatars like the ones attached to the rangers. So for these Avatars, you can choose any element EXCEPT for Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, and Wind as those five are saved for the rangers and hero Avatars. Also, you are not limited to actual elements. For example, if you want to do a lava based Avatar, you can do so because lava is essentially fire earth. They can also be based on natural disasters as well as magic since half of the motif is Mythical beasts. As for age, just like the heroic Avatars, these Avatars can be as old as you want them to be, but remember, the war for humanity took place in the medieval ages so they should be at least 1619 years old. Don't have to be because I'd imagine life for these Avatars would still be going on in those years, just hidden.
AVATARS
Name:
Nickname(s):
Age:
Gender:
Personality:
Appearance:
Clothes/Armor:
Rank:
Special Powers:
Weakness:
Weapon(s) of Choice:
Element:
Backstory:
And finally, we have the 'Others' category. These are for any extra character outside of the Allies and Villains. For example, notable civilians or if the rangers were in high school bullies. These characters can be small Allies or antagonistic towards them, just not Avatar level.
OTHER
Full Name:
Nickname(s):
Age (19-50):
Gender:
Personality:
Appearance:
Clothes:
Backstory:
Occupation:
Role (Ally or Rival):
So now comes the rules:
1. SEND ME SUBMISSIONS THROUGH PM, that way the characters chosen can be a surprise when first seen. Any submissions through reviews will not be under consideration whatsoever. So if you got a good one, make sure it's not a review submission because I could miss out on a good character.
2. YOU HAVE TILL FEBRUARY 3RD TO SUBMIT CHARACTERS. That gives you 3 weeks to come up with a character or a few. I will stop accepting submissions at 12:00 AM February 4th, 2019. So you have till 11:59 PM on February 3rd to submit something.
3. HAVE FUN WITH IT. To be more specific, have variation. Your character can be dark, your character can be sunflowers and rainbows. Doesn't matter. Though this story will probably be a darker one, it's nice to have one character who brings in jokes. Like Ziggy in RPM.
Make sure to follow this story in case I add a rule or two to the established ones above!
So that should be all for me here. Can't wait to see what you all come up with!
Till Next Time Y'all, Remember, Happy Reading~ Trey-El :-)
