So, I already have an idea I'm playing with and I'm going to hold a sort of mini-contest. I need someone to submit me some characters to challenge a gym leader (or anyone, really)! They may appear in the story if I deem them of fine enough quality!
Here is what I'm looking for from you:
1. A name. You have to have a name for this. If you can't come up with a feasible name, maybe this isn't for you (I'm sure you can do it, it's easy).
2. Their gender, of course. I'll have to figure how each one should react to certain situations.
3. The type of person they are, whether they are rude, snide, shy, angry, etc. If you would like to skip this step, just put a Pokemon trait here.
4. The description of this person. Whether they are large, small, skinny, short, fat, tall, old, young, clean, dirty, etc. This is important, and will possible be a factor in how they may shape the story. Also, what do they wear? Put age in here.
5. The type of Pokemon they like use. This should be self-explanatory, but I'll help you out anyway: ugly Pokemon, tall, steel, electric, blue, baby, etc. Try and pick out a few Pokemon they walk around with. If you'd like to lay out specific species, pick no less than two, and no more than four. If you pick more than two, then two of these Pokemon have to at least be the same typing.
6. What type of Pokemon do they despise? Bugs? Dark? Use the same format for the dislikes as the likes (ugly, evolved, ground, etc.).
7. Are they competitive? How would they act if they won or lost? How would they react against their least favorite Pokemon?
8. How should they appear in the story? Just show up? Fly in? Dig in? Teleport? Or just walk into the story? Use your imagination.
9. Any issues I should be worried about? Tantrums, personalities, etc.
10. A little back story for them. I need this to see a little bit about how they should act in my story.
A couple rules about this:
You may submit two characters. No more.
You cannot have any qualms of my using this character in my story.
You fork over the majority of the rights to me (i.e. anything else other than what you've submitted. I own what I write)
You may not copy any other character from anyone else. It has to be yours. If you break this rule, then you'll have to hear from whoever I 'stole' this character from.
Don't worry if you don't see your character yet if I've said you've won this contest. Writing takes time, of course.
Other than that, you should be fine. Here is an example of the minimum entry:
1. Suzy
2. Female
3. This person is a snide student. They act more like a Lass than an actual student
4. They are short, weigh little, dress like a lass (which is against the dress code) and is 12 years old.
5. This girl likes to use the strong types. Rhydon and Magmar follow her around.
6. She hates bugs and poison types. She's squeamish around them.
7. Very competitive. Hates losing. Hates bugs and poison types. Wants to crush them quick before they scare her into submission.
8. She just walks right into the gym.
9. She hates to lose. Throws tantrums. Spoiled brat.
10. Suzy decided to take the gym circuit after she beat everyone else in her school. Very proud, she tries and sweep her enemies under the rug. Thinks she can defeat anyone with confidence and that she doesn't need anyone else's help, she set out from home on her own.
Sorry, it's quite rough around the edges, but if you can improve upon it (character creation) and throw it in my PM box or on here, that'd be appreciated.
I haven't tried my hand at Pokemon fiction before, so this'll be a new experience for me. I need a few ideas for challengers that could either win or lose (depends on how I'd like to spin the story) and I think this is a good way for some people to partake in this story and add that extra special something to the mix.
I know the rules are cut with a chainsaw, so if someone could look at them and see if they can form them a bit better (I'm quite tired at this time) that'd be great. Give me PMs, criticisms are welcome. I haven't laid out the entire story out on paper yet, but I think this will help it along. Good luck, and I hope I receive lots of things to flip through. feel free to flesh out your characters a bit. Those ten bullets aren't all inclusive, so feel free to think outside the box and expand as you see fit, koffi~
Also, I've started work on this story and I think I'll try and work on it at least every other day. Feel free to post or PM me your characters. Discuss, praise, criticize, or what have you. Something new I'll be seeing if I can pull off. I'm a bit leery about putting the details of my story up here, but I don't think I have everything as I want it just yet, but it will be soon hopefully (first by the end of next week maybe). Good luck.
Important note: You will not receive much from me for winning other than bragging rights and a firm digital handshake. There may be more than one winner.
