Original Character Creation Contest!

[Nick Tasogare]

Welcome to the forum's first ever Original Creation Contest! The goal of this contest is for you, the members of the forums, to develop your very own Characters, Villages/Rogue Organizations, or Clans. The contest's submissions will go on for a month, and then in August, the submissions will be judged, and (hopefully) at the end of August, a winner will be chosen, and given a boat load of rep! Use your creativity and submit whatever you like, as long as you follow the rules.

The rules are simple:

Spoiler:

1. Your creations CANNOT HAVE ANY RELATION to anything Canon, meaning no touching on any official characters or story lines. That means you cannot use anything from the Series, Anime or Manga, in your submissions.

2. You cannot submit more than one template for each category. Meaning you can only enter one submission for each category, but you can enter each category. If you wish for Clans and Villages/Organizations, you can work in groups of up to 4 people. For Character submissions, they MUST be solo, unless you enter them as a duo, a trio, or full 4 man squad. YOU CANNOT USE OTHER PEOPLE'S CHARACTERS! Remember to give everyone you worked with credit for their work. To clarify, the three Categories are "Character", "Villages/Organizations", and "Clans".

3. Aim to be creative! Be as crazy with it as you want, that's what this contest is about. Don't be boring and plain, put as much detail as you want.

4. Do not use anything from the War System. That will be an automatic disqualification. If you created something that is in the WS, and wish to use it, feel free, but no stealing, and make sure that it is not in WS Format.

5: For entering pictures along with your submissions, you CANNOT use anything off of the internet, or that is someone elses work. It must be your own, no matter how sucky you are at drawing.

Submissions will work like this; we're going to have three threads other than this main thread. One for Character Submissions, one for Villages/Organizations, and one for Clans. All you have to do to enter is fill out the proper skeleton, and post it in the proper thread. There's going to be a strict "Nothing but submissions rule" for each thread, so please do not spam them. Feel free to ask questions in this thread.

As long as you follow those rules, feel free to do whatever you wish, within reason. There will be Six First Place Winners in total, which will work out like this:

Solo Character:
Group Character:
Village:
Rogue Organization:
Clan with Kekkei Genkai
Clan without Kekkei Genkai

Other than that, there will also be runner ups for each category, and possibly third place, each holding less rep than the last.

Entries will be accepted from the day this thread is made up until August 7th, and winners will be chosen towards the end of August. Submit your entries in the correct threads (links can be found below), using the correct skeletons/templates (found in the respective threads).

Village/Organizations Submissions Thread
Clan Submissions Thread

Alright, to clarify, you can only enter each Category ONCE. That means that with Characters, you choose between Solo and Group, for Villages, you choose between Village and Org, and for Clan, you choose between Clan with KG and Clan without KG.

[Ohako]

Hmm so one person alone can make a character, their own organization; and a clan? And for the Solo character template we just fill this~

Solo Character:

Village:

Do we give a bio on the character?

[Nick Tasogare]

For each respective Category, there is a separate thread. There are skeletons in those threads that you must fill out.

[yondaime]

I will give this a try. Also, we can enter all of the categories, right?

[Nick Tasogare]

Yea, you can enter each category, but only once, so at most, you can have 3 submissions all together.

[Kuroda Taishi]

What is group Character?

[Nick Tasogare]

Well, for Characters, we have Solo and Group.

Solo is a single character, but with Group, you're allowed to submit a Squad or Team of up to 4, meaning 2-4 characters. You can do it alone, or work with others and make your characters into a team.

[Kuroda Taishi]

You might want to say Group of Characters instead of Group Characters, xD

[Nick Tasogare]

Well, it's clarified as Duo, Trio or 4 Man Squad, so I would hope that's enough xDD

/will possibly join if I find the time

[NarutoRulez]

I will definetely give this a try. Best of luck to all the other competors! ^_^

Question: Since we can't even ''touch'' on anything Naruto related, does this mean we can't mention things like Ninja Wars? Or can we just say Ninja War in general, without referring to a specific Ninja War? Ninja War is just an example.

I believe you can use Naruto history just cna't use Naruto KG's, Villages and Jutsu, or characters.

[Wooster]

Ah, so you finally got this up. Heh, I guess I was too lazy ever to say if I would be involved or not.

[Kuroda Taishi]

Hmm...I'll need to figure out which categories I want to enter in.

[Shika-fiend]

If I join, I'll need to get my scanner working.

[Jose]

O this is just perfect for me, many people have seen my creations in the village I cant wait. =P

I suppose you could say war, as long as it's not one that took place in the series.

Nope, can't touch on story lines or anything at all.

[Kuroda Taishi]

hmm after rereading the rules I would have to restructure my characters a bit to comply.
