Welcome!
Make a Character!



This is a contest where I want you to write a character description for a person I have drawed.
I'll write a character form, and then it's up to you to fill it. It's a plus if you make the page neat looking too, like using dividers and whatnot. Simple enough? Good! Get started!
And send blissful gratitude to [spincrus] for the idea, which I stole when Spin got drunk! ;)

RuleS!



We don't need no stinking Rules! Okay.. a few..
 1: It must be your own work, of course. If you copy/pasted it, you are in trouble.
 2: The description should fit in on the image.. if I draw a human and your character is a vampire, you're in trouble.
 3: Be unique! If you're like everybody else..well I can't do much about it, but it's boring..O_o
 4: If you bitch in the commentbox, you are in trouble.
 5: You can have a placeholder, but it will be removed when the free spots are taken if you havn't made the character yet.
 6: Tho it's always good with a detailed and long description (it is!)..I do want to be able to read it and remember it. If it is too long I'll just not read through it and then you won't win:P (too long: 3 word pages.. that's just too much) So keep it reasonable.
 7: I'm a bitch and I'll disqualify you if I feel like it :P And you're not allowed to complain. If you do..well you're already disqualified..



I judge the characters based on:

How well the description fits with the picture.
How interesting it is to read.
How original the character feels, and how realistic.
Page layout.


Deadline: -

So you want prizyness as well? Arn't you a greedy one? Well.. how about this:
A nice little badge for everyone and the winner gets my colored image, made for this contest, to have on his or hers character description? Well, that's how it will be, like it or not:P

2006-08-23 [Zab]: I've read it :P hehe, interesting.

2006-08-23 [Shadow-ofDeath]: I spent over thirty minutes on it (Elftown logged me out when I tried posting it the first time).

2006-08-23 [Zab]: You should set the automatical log out on 2 hours:P

2006-08-23 [Shadow-ofDeath]: Problem is, I never click log out anyways!

2006-08-23 [Zab]: You should..if not to log out then to let us on your relationslist know that you're gone. ;__; (and you'll be logged out when you close the window, but not marked as logged out on the online friends list ;)

2006-08-23 [Shadow-ofDeath]: I know. I am insanely lazy.

2006-08-23 [Zab]: You shouldn't be! :P

2006-08-23 [Shadow-ofDeath]: ... *is ashamed*

2006-08-23 [Zab]: Aww!

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: aurum rules has a secion about character creation and clichéd characters. Maybe you could use it to explain about the uniqueness?

2006-08-23 [Zab]: I think I've read that (or some wiki like it) and it's good.. but I want this to be a competition where people have to think a little bit themselves ;)

2006-08-23 [Zab]: Oh right..everybody join Trahixia x) if you want.. and think you can add something to the plot..x)

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: :0 copying is the new thinking! :p

2006-08-23 [Zab]: XD

2006-08-23 [Shadow-ofDeath]: I think I would love to do that... I have an idea for a guild in it (if that would be possible). I will post in there!

2006-08-23 [Zab]: Okay:P

2006-08-23 [Shadow-ofDeath]: Thieves/Assassins guild, my character will be an assassin!

2006-08-23 [Zab]: Hmm..okaay... post the idea on the mainpage and let all of us discuss it there:P

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: I'd love to join too, but I've got to much work on my own rp's ><

2006-08-23 [Zab]: Awww...:P too bad.

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: I've started watching it, for later :P

2006-08-23 [Zab]: XD yay!

2006-08-23 [RadiationNation.]: Where do I send my entry?

2006-08-23 [Zab]: On this page in the list under Entries ;)

2006-08-23 [RadiationNation.]: Mkay :)

2006-08-23 [Zab]: :)

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: mine's nearly ready for spell-checks and revising ^^:

2006-08-23 [Zab]: hehe, I have my eyes on it already:P I won't say anything about any of them untill the contest s over tho:P

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: Can I add footnotes? cause I think I used some big wordses in there :p

2006-08-23 [Zab]: Add what you want:P

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: Is it okay to use the 'other' section for that, or is that supposed to be for the character? :s

2006-08-23 [Zab]: Make an extra section if you want :P
I don't really care what you do as long as you use the form. If you want to add more than that, feel free to. What I don't want is something looking like a book or a story while others follow the form, because then it's impossible to judge :)

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: uhkay =P

2006-08-23 [Zab]: :P

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: What changed to the page?

2006-08-23 [Zab]: press the ''view diff'' button in the wiki page data field ;)

2006-08-23 [Deadlock jester]: ooooh, okay, thanks <<; I wondered where that button went :p

2006-08-23 [Zab]: XD

2006-08-25 [Stephen]: I'll actually put my character idea data in here when I get back from the hospital today, sorry for the delay Zabby. :P

2006-08-25 [Zab]: ok..I'll remove all placeholders soon..

2006-08-25 [Stephen]: It'll be done before the end of (my) the day. Sometime within the next twenty four hours soon anyway. =o)

2006-08-25 [Zab]: ok:P

2006-08-25 [Deadlock jester]: Mine should be done tonight, or tomorrow morning (I hope)

2006-08-25 [Zab]: ok:P

2006-08-25 [Mortified Penguin]: ...wh- what?! ...he's become a broken record! nooo!

2006-08-25 [Zab]: broken record?

2006-08-25 [Azuri]: When does the contest end so I know when I need to get this done, ive been so very busy O.o

2006-08-25 [Zab]: I'll remove completely empty placeholders soon, but the contest will run for some weeks:P

2006-08-26 [spincrus]: Don't remove me! Don't remove me! :D I'll fill it out tomorrow, I PROMISE! I've been extremely busy with my own website right now, but tomorrow's Sunday and I'll DEFINITELY take a break. Otherwise I'll die.

2006-08-26 [Zab]: ok. :) *is too lazy to do it now anyway*

2006-08-26 [spincrus]: Laziness is the root of most evil. Not all though. Still quite a bit.

2006-08-26 [Zab]: Who said I wasn't evil?

2006-08-26 [spincrus]: You got me there :P

2006-08-26 [Zab]: Hehe..:P

2006-08-27 [Azuri]: heheh ive put some things in ^_^

2006-08-28 [Cia_mar]: finished mine!

2006-08-28 [Zab]: yay! :P

2006-08-28 [Cia_mar]: hope you like it!

2006-08-28 [Zab]: I'll read them all later...:P

2006-08-28 [Zab]: You who have placeholders have known that they will be removed when the list is full.
I gave you some extra time, but now I will remove placeholders.

2006-08-28 [Cia_mar]: ok!... mine is well... kinda long! lol

2006-08-28 [Zab]: hehe, it's ok:P

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: ... May I move mine back to the bottom XP?

2006-08-28 [Zab]: Nope, I want the last two places to be empty, not the first and the third :P

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: *Moaning and groaning and all other sorts of sounds that could be interpreted as naughty... or painful if you go that way*

2006-08-28 [Zab]: *threatens with disqualifying you if you continue* :P

2006-08-28 [Deadlock jester]: *gets teh popcorn* =P

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: *gapes*...
*goes over to Zab*..."Bother!" (potterpuppetpals)

2006-08-28 [Zab]: Rule:
7: I'm a bitch and I'll disqualify you if I feel like it :P And you're not allowed to complain. If you do..well you're already disqualified..

I will do it if you bother me... :P

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: Have you seen Potter puppet pals? It is a geek culture reference.

2006-08-28 [Zab]: noooope:P

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: potterpuppetpals.com

2006-08-28 [Zab]: ......>_>

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: omg I love puppet pals! XD

2006-08-28 [Zab]: O_O

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: They're awesome zab, I swear xD
"botherbotherbotherbother" XD

2006-08-28 [Zab]: .......... nter so I can disqualify you for bothering me! XD

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: *hasn't even entered and probably won't* x) Doesn't matter XP

2006-08-28 [Zab]: That's why I told you to enter..*looks at comment*..or to ''nter'' O_o

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: Harry and Ron: "Botherbotherbotherbotherbother"
Snape: "Stop. Stop it. Stop it! Avada Kedavra!" *bzzzzzz* "Oh dear."
Dumbledore: "Hello Severus."

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: How was I supposed to know? XP
Naked Dumbledore! X_x

2006-08-28 [Zab]: XD

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: Dumbledore: "Where did Snape go? More importantly... where the hell am I?" *ducks under screen* "Nakey Time!"

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: Oh God, my eyes, they bleed xD

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: If you have ever seen the flash "Geeks in Love", dumbledore makes an appearance (I believe... full nakey), along with the words "Cornucopia", the "p" lightning style.

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: I am not even going there xD

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: It's a really great song with an awesome opening.

2006-08-28 [sequeena_rae]: No thanks xD

2006-08-28 [Shadow-ofDeath]: *instrumental*
"Nobody's cool as we, nor quite as esoterically far out.
We're so far out it's creepy.
I don't think they'll ever get the groovy standards that we set for love,
but they're not smart like we be."

2006-08-28 [spincrus]: I wanted to contribute but never got around to do it actually :/ So I don't have hard feelings for getting my non-finished entry removed [Zab].

2006-08-28 [Zab]: Good:P You can still make one and put it up tho, there are still 2 places for the deadline ;)

2006-08-28 [Zab]: The deadline is changed to the 30 Aug

I have read all entries and I think I know who will win. But there is still time to add things or make an entirely new entry!

I've judged the characters based on:
How well the description fits with the picture.
How interesting it is to read.
How original the character feels, and how realistic.
And last: page layout.

2006-08-29 [Deadlock jester]: :O *starts making graphics* =P

2006-08-29 [Zab]: Hehe:P I have all entries on watch, so I know where to look. ;)

2006-08-29 [Zab]: I will, when the contest is over, give constructive critisism on the pages, telling what I like and not like. If anyone doesn't want that, make a comment about it on your page :)

2006-08-29 [Cia_mar]: just need two more!!!!

2006-08-29 [Zab]: No, if you read my other bold comment, this contest ends tomorrow, 10 entries or not:P

2006-08-29 [Cia_mar]: lol... ah... missed that... but still if we get two more! i am advertising it on my house right now!

2006-08-29 [Zab]: I think it's a bit too close to the deadline:P tho Stephie promised to do his tonight:P

2006-08-29 [Cia_mar]: hope so! it is interesting to read all the differant perspectives people creat for this one pic!

2006-08-29 [Zab]: It is indeed:P hehe

2006-08-29 [Shadow-ofDeath]: If you win one round, can you compete in the next? If not... I might make sure that I lose!

2006-08-29 [Zab]: XD! Yes, you can:P
Like the new character? XD

2006-08-29 [Cia_mar]: yes it is cool!

2006-08-29 [Shadow-ofDeath]: I was looking at it, I have some nice ideas for it.

2006-08-29 [Shadow-ofDeath]: Oooh, can I add a quote section? Anyone steal my idea... and I might... charge you 7.50$ (relatively free of charge... SB)!

2006-08-29 [Zab]: quote section?

2006-08-29 [Shadow-ofDeath]: I came up with a cool quote that I want to add... Should I just add it to my other section?

2006-08-29 [Zab]: quote about what? Sure add it like you want.

2006-08-29 [Shadow-ofDeath]: Just something cool that he might say.

2006-08-29 [Zab]: yeah yeah, sure..Oo

2006-08-29 [Shadow-ofDeath]: I went overboard... again.

2006-08-29 [Zab]: No...*shrugs* You can add what you want on the character as long as you generally follow the form, so I can judge them properly.

2006-08-29 [Shadow-ofDeath]: :)

2006-08-29 [Lady of Lore]: I can throw in an entry today ^_^

2006-08-29 [Zab]: yay! :P I'll end it in about 10-12 hours I think. Somewhere at noon my time:P

2006-08-29 [Lady of Lore]: okay, i can meet that ^_^

2006-08-29 [Zab]: hehe, great:P

2006-08-30 [Lady of Lore]: Done ^____^

2006-08-30 [Zab]:

CONGRATS [Deadlock jester] YOU WON!


And the next round has started!

2006-08-30 [Zab]: [Lady of Lore]: do you want a comment from me on your page, like the others have, or should I take the lack of a commentbox that you don't want it? :)

Participants may take their badges. :)

2006-08-30 [pixish]: whee! ^_^ congratulations deadlock *^_^*

2006-08-30 [Deadlock jester]: thankyou! ^__^

2006-08-30 [Zab]: :P

2006-08-30 [Cia_mar]: congrats jester!

2006-08-31 [Lady of Lore]: lack of comment box? (goes and looks....)

2006-08-31 [Zab]: Yep:P
I didn't remove it by mistake I hope..>_>)

2006-08-31 [Cia_mar]: hmm.. you need an archive page... i never got to read all the other entries...lol

2006-08-31 [Zab]: Look under the last divider:P

2006-08-31 [Cia_mar]: ha ha ha .. yep i am officially blind!

2006-08-31 [Zab]: ...yes? XD

2006-08-31 [dayah]: gah I am stuck on this one...thinks really hard...

2006-08-31 [Zab]: hehe..
I'm a bit curious on how many will make him evil because he has a bloodied sword and how many will make him good because he looks evil..x)

2006-08-31 [dayah]: heheh...not completely sure what I will do this time...depends if he speaks to me or not..lol...they tell their own stories..I just write them down..:P

2006-08-31 [Zab]: I know what you mean:P He has told me a quite impressive story already..XD I think I'll let whichever matches best with that win this time:P

2006-08-31 [dayah]: hehe..sounds good..I found a picture once on a journal, it was made for another book, but the girl has stuck with me ever since...She was the inspiration to the book I am writing..:)

2006-08-31 [Zab]: Hehe, sweet:P

2006-09-01 [Zab]: Is there any interest for writing a character from this picture?
If I don't have any entries before monday I'll change picture.
And hope that it helps.

2006-09-02 [pixish]: oh yay! we have the weekend ^_^

2006-09-02 [Zab]: hehe, yeah

2006-09-02 [dayah]: I want to but my brain is dead....will try to do something...will see...:)

2006-09-02 [Zab]: ok

2006-09-02 [spincrus]: I actually seriously have to start making a character for a Call of Cthulhu game we're starting in a week's time :)

2006-09-03 [Zab]: oh?

2006-09-03 [Stephen]: I plan on it.. but, as you know, I am not here that much, due to Ben and all. :P

2006-09-03 [Zab]: yep

2006-09-03 [Deadlock jester]: Same here, I'm busy doing schoolstuff and rebuilding my computer

2006-09-03 [Stephen]: So, you have entrants, just busy ones. =op

2006-09-05 [Athilea]: I'm holding a place for this one, is that okay???

2006-09-05 [Zab]: Sure, but I might delete it if I don't get entries.:)

2006-09-05 [Athilea]: Awww, don't do that. I'm going to enter, I promise! ^_^

2006-09-05 [Zab]: ok...

2006-09-05 [Deadlock jester]: Made a placeholder again <<;

2006-09-11 [Amarantha]: Made you an entry! *evil grin* *ducks boot*

2006-09-11 [Zab]: Yay! Half of the places are filled:P

2006-09-11 [Athilea]: I'll put my entry up in the next couple of days, okay?

2006-09-11 [Deadlock jester]: feel free to delete my placeholder when you need the spot: I'm having issues with my computer, preventing me from doing any work ><

2006-09-11 [Zab]: It's alright.

2006-09-12 [BinaryPhoenix]: I also made a placeholder! ^_^

2006-09-12 [Zab]: yay:P

Tho..I soon want real entries..that goes for all of you people with placeholders:P

2006-09-12 [Stephen]: That's so... time taking. O.o

2006-09-12 [Zab]: .....

2006-09-12 [Stephen]: Well, between my convos with you on msn, and my other convos with you, and rping with you, I have little character creation time. :P

2006-09-12 [Zab]: then why having a placeholder?

2006-09-12 [Stephen]: Because I might maybe get some chance to possibly make a character at some point in some way at some time, maybe.

2006-09-12 [Zab]: ...Oo

2006-09-12 [Stephen]: :)

2006-09-12 [Zab]: I'll just quit this contest soon..

2006-09-12 [Stephen]: No! Keep it running, I'll make it worth your while sometime.

2006-09-12 [Zab]: meh..I barely have any entries..

2006-09-12 [Stephen]: I'll make 10 entries next time I am bored shitless. :P

2006-09-12 [Zab]: Oo

2006-09-12 [Linderel]: Hum. I might try to participate. Can't guarantee anything, though. *pokes muse*

2006-09-12 [Zab]: ok.

2006-09-12 [Linderel]: :S
*huggles Zab*

2006-09-12 [Zab]: *hugs

2006-09-17 [Zab]: Congratulate the both winners! :)

2006-09-17 [Barock]: Awwww :D thankee's
Twas much fun! Much love to all and every one:)

2006-09-18 [Amarantha]: Thank you! It was indeed very fun. Happiness! *twirls off cheerily*

2006-09-18 [BinaryPhoenix]: Wow... This was a very fast contest, I wanted to upload my complete entry today, only to find that the contest is over... o_O

2006-09-18 [Zab]: I did warn a week ago that it would end in 3 days..>_> so I really gave more time than I said I should. Sorry.

2006-09-18 [BinaryPhoenix]: It's ok... ^_^ I'll try and catch the next one!

2006-09-18 [Zab]: If I make another one..I closed this because I didn't get enough entries, only placeholders...I'm impatient..
There was a lot about people not being very interested.

2006-09-18 [BinaryPhoenix]: Oh well... I was interested, but just so damned busy! ^_^

2006-09-18 [Zab]: Hehe, ok. :)

2006-12-26 [Amarantha]: O_O

Can we please have another one? It was such fun!

2006-12-26 [Zab]: Not right now..

2006-12-27 [Amarantha]: Oh well. *sad, but accepting*

However, I may be tempted to draw one to make up for the lack here... are you willing to take responsiblity for the infliction of my artistic skills on the Elftown public? *laughs*

2006-12-27 [Zab]: If you want to run the contest and handle the judging..

2006-12-27 [Amarantha]: Eeek! *dodges all hints of responsibility*

2006-12-27 [Zab]: ^_^ see.

2006-12-27 [Amarantha]: yep.

2006-12-27 [Elodicressida]: The scary part is Ammy's drawing skills... and mine. ^.^

2006-12-27 [Amarantha]: I'm getting better! I'm not dead yet!

2006-12-27 [Elodicressida]: Oh, yes you are. Get in the cart.

2006-12-27 [Amarantha]: No! I don't want to!

2006-12-28 [Elodicressida]: I forget the rest of that scene...
