Due to me recently coming into some points, I wanted to hold a contest, meant to improve my own writing skills! ^^ Yay! Okay you can get points easy, and enter as many times as you want. You cannot enter a character you already use and write with. Pretty much are you are doing is filling out a character biography to a random character, so I can throw a bunch of characters in a hat, draw from it, and write a story using them, so I can challenge myself in creating relationships between various characters who I didn't create to correspond with each other. Basically fill out as much or as little as this character skeleton for me and you can win points (you can add to the bio skeleton if you choose):

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 12, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 100, Silver: 50, Bronze: 25, Honorable mention: 17 people
- Final notes: Thank you all participants, and a special thank you to all VALID participants. I did DQ a few people for not following the rules, others just didn't win a trophy. I feel bad about that because I became a harsher judge towards the end, so some people were treated nicely and others kinda got plain out bitched at.
You guys did a very good job with this and the winners won because I found theirs to be most original, creative, and thought out. Congratulations to the top three!
I had a hard time judging this, I really did, but as promised, everyone with a valid entry won at least honorable mention! I wouldn't have been able to judge it any other way! xD
Thank you for the amazing participation and I want all winners to know that I may write about your characters and might not capture them as you thought they would be or I may make a few alterations to suit the story and my writing style. If I use your character I will be sure to send you a message saying a did so and either a link to the story, or the story's title.
Awesome job to all of you!!!!!!
^^

I actually have several (this was fun and I couldn't stop) and they're all adults to offset all the teenage characters you're getting. Take your pick. I put all in one entry because I'm too lazy to do multiple entries.1• Commented on by judge. [remove]
