OKAY, SO.
We've recently decided to do a little "contest" in which people would submit character ideas they think would fit into our game; be it Hunters, Guild Leaders, or even possibly, the third playable character.
As we haven't really gotten as far to have everything "Important" regarding the region of Hollowmoor to actually say exactly how flexible, there are little restrictions at the moment, however I'll list them below.
Contest Rules:
- Submissions won't be given a numerical score; instead, we will be reviewing them based off of how they are, and how they would fit into the game.
- The amount of submissions allowed, are ONE for a normal character and ONE idea for the playable character. If you'd like to make your character act as a submission for both, I'll allow it, but just make sure you mention it.
- Submissions do not require any form of visual representation. If you feel like you won't be able to enter because you can't draw, think again. As long as you write up a decent description, you're fine. But, if you feel like doing a sketch or something instead of writing a description, you're free to do that too.
- For playable character submissions, keep in mind of the other two characters playstyles:
Artemis is a ranged character that uses Bow and Arrows.
Her Unique skill is a backdash.
She has higher HP, but has lower Attack.
Athena is a close-range character that uses Sword and Shields.
Her Unique skill is blocking (and Parrying, if I can figure out how to get shields to work)
She has higher Attack, but lower Intelligence.
-For playable character submissions: No guns, or weapons too similar to the ones the two characters used.
Things to consider:
-This game is in a Fantasy setting, involving more magic, than technology.
-There are different guilds, with different kinds of character types, keep them in mind, when writing the description:
- Crystal Owls (Forest area, elegant and swift hunters)
- Emerald Hawks (Mountain area, wise men who had incredible knowledge)
- Ruby Vipers (Desert area, most aggressive guild that fought many battles)
- Iron Golems (Cave area, strong but not very bright)
- Blood Sages (Nomads, Insane followers of their now captured necromancer Leader)
Submission Period:
Submission Period will begin January 23rd at 12:00 AM EST and end February 20th at 12:00 AM EST
Here is the "submission template" or whatever:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Character name:
Gender:
Age:
What role would the character have in the game?
- Third playable character*
- Guild Leader
- Hunter (You can specify whether the character is Low/Normal/High Rank if you'd like)
- Other (Please Specify) **
Overall Design / Description:
*If character ends up as a playable character:
Combat Style (range, focus on melee/magic/skills, etc):
Weapon(s) of Choice (if any):
Unique Skill:
Strengths(Stat-wise):
Weaknesses(Stat-wise):
**Other roles require a background story. Other roles may include the following:
Merchant (Can be a Traveling Merchant)
Warrior
Freelance Hunter
Guard (at the Kingdom in Hollowmoor)
Thief
Blacksmith
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a question about the role of your character being accepted, or any questions regarding this contest in general, just send me a PM.
Oh, and one more thing; most, hopefully, ALL submissions will be in the game one way or another. If your character did not win the position you wanted, if you'd like, they can be added to the game as a "special" NPC.
Well, that's that. I wish you all luck and can't wait to see the submissions!
