Special Character Contest |
 Hello Arindal players!
We would like to offer you a small contest!
The subject of the contest is : write a short project for a special character !
A special character is someone like those played by GMs, like Patal, Hanashi, Durin Stonemaster, Merown, Frisko, etc. But we are not asking you to imagine the new super-villain! It can be simple roles like a town animal, a stranger with a different culture (see the pages about races for inspiration), a mysterious old woman, a cursed ghost, a smart orga, a half-azcatl half-myrm... can't give too many example, we are curious about YOUR ideas!
The prize of this contest is, of course, to play yourself the special character from your project!
As you can guess, we will probably not select projects like being a super-wizard with every possible power... we are more interested in what you can role-play with the minimum tools -- like a different look and a few special capabilities.
Some rules for this contest :
Send us a short mail describing the character you want to play, his/her background, and what abilities s/he would need.
You can send more than one character idea. But only one (1) character will be awarded. Advice: We will probably favor quality over quantity.
Write in english if possible. Use your favorite language if it really needs to be subtle.
Don't tell others about your idea, even to your best friends! We will be very strict about that. When the winner is chosen, nobody must know, or be able to guess WHO is playing the special character.
The winner gets access to a special character on a separate account. It means that in theory you can interact with your own characters, but don't try to use it to cheat and help or favor them, we will not like this.
All actions will be logged, and we will be strict about cheaters, snerts, rude people, etc. In doubt, we will not take chances of letting you misbehave. Note that this does not mean you can't be an evil character, it means "Don't be an ass". And yes it is very different.
We reserve the right to modify or cancel the special character at any time, for any reason we see fit. Disclosing the character's identity is a very likely reason for cancellation! Don't say you were not warned.
We may also put some limits to stories you can create, especially if they risk spoiling or disrupting existing ones we have.
If it wasn't clear yet, this is about role-playing. We are not giving away a nice costume if you only plan to gain ranks like crazy! You should seek no personal gains in this contest, just the possibility to play differently and entertain others.
If the experiment is positive, we will offer more special characters to play. So even if you don't win now, keep your project secret in case it's the next best one!
Also if the experiment is positive, and the character proves interesting and trustworthy, he or she may gain more items / capabilities and... live a long time
The deadline for submissions is 11th june. Keep an eye on announcements in case we realize we need to change the rules.
