Thank you all so much for your submissions! There was a total of 20 character submissions, of both heroes and villains, and a civilian! I enjoyed reading all of the forms and biography sections of the characters, it really helped in making some of the decisions for which characters will be either main characters, side characters, etc. I am trying to contact those who submitted to tell them their character has been accepted, but some of you are anons! But anyway, here is the shortlist so far (I have still not included my own heroes, villains or civilians):
Main Heroes:
Blade, Hawkeye, Malice, Captain Sarcasm, and Electricus.
Side Heroes:
Mask(name will be changed), Wyvern, Fate, and Fantabulous-man.
Villains:
The Puppeteer, Nightmare, I.Q, Suicide Kid(has been changed from hero to villain), Lilac, Pyro Girl(name will be changed).
Civilians:
Jessica Anderson, and Jacquelyn Rose.
Some of the submissions were GOOD character base ideas, and will be broadened and more detailed by me. There will be SOME alias name changes (due to others having a similar name/powers or it just didn't make sense) and other changes, some minor, some major. Some of the characters will be EXACTLY how their form states, but others are being tweaked to better fit the story. If you are one of the anons who submitted a character on this list who has been accepted, please private message me if you have any questions or concerns. Also remember that your character may APPEAR OVER TIME, not right away, so please be patient.
Let's make this an amazing fanfic! I'm going to start writing over the next few days, as well as reading any stories previously written about your characters. Congratulations and Thanks!
*For those marked for name changes, here are the alternatives I've come up with so far, but give me YOUR feedback:
Mask Shapetress
Pyro Girl Pyromaniac
