See this girl? She's a random. She has rings and Akita. And at this point in time, she has no name, no backstory, and no personality.
Kinda sad, huh?
Well, my dear Evelonian friends, this obviously will not do! Thus, I'm holding a mini-contest!! That's right! It's up to YOU, my dear Evelonians, to help me figure out a name and story for this girl!
-Rules & Guidelines-
1. First and most important: Absolutely no plagiarism WHATSOEVER! If you do it, I WILL find out, and you will be BANNED from any contest I may have in the future! Look, I know you're all smarter than plagiarism--so don't do it! OK?
2. Your entry for this contest must consist of (at minimum):
-A first name (Last name optional; I'll give her one if the winning entry doesn't have one)
-A personality description (It can be as short as a few words or as long as you like)
-A backstory description (Again, as long or as short as you like)
You may also include, if you like:
-Art of her human or anthropomorphic form, should you choose to give her one
-A short story about her
3. I will choose 2 winners of the contest: A first place winner and a second place winner. I'll probably end up incorporating elements of both into my final design for her. For information on what I'm giving out as prizes, see below.
-First Place-
-Two pets of your choice from my Selling Pen
-30 KS
-A breeding of your choice between any one of my Lucain or Kuhna and any one of your Lucain or Kuhna; if we get 1 or 2 pups/kits, you get both of them; if we get 3-5, you get your pick of all but one of them. You may also request that I self-breed any two of my Lucain together so long as they're not related. This includes all of my reserved pets except for Rosie; I don't own her lifemate, so, you know. The same rules apply: You can pick any of the pups you like, but if I get 3 or more, I would like to keep maybe one.
-Second Place-
-A pet of your choice from my Selling Pen
-20 KS
-Two pets of your choice from my Selling Pen
-30 KS
-A breeding of your choice between any one of my Lucain or Kuhna and any one of your Lucain or Kuhna; if we get 1 or 2 pups/kits, you get both of them; if we get 3-5, you get your pick of all but one of them. You may also request that I self-breed any two of my Lucain together so long as they're not related. This includes all of my reserved pets except for Rosie; I don't own her lifemate, so, you know. The same rules apply: You can pick any of the pups you like, but if I get 3 or more, I would like to keep maybe one.
-Second Place-
-A pet of your choice from my Selling Pen
-20 KS
4. This contest will end on July 18th.
Now, a few hints on how to wow me:
-Generally, I prefer "real" names to "made-up" ones. You can try made-up names, but be warned that I can be very picky. XD If they're obviously made-up and don't "sound" real enough, I probably won't bite. http://www.behindthename.com has lots of great names in it! Plain, exotic--that I don't really care about that. Also, if you pick a random word from a foreign language for a name, I will just look at you, say "Backyard Bottomslash," and walk away. XP
-Personality? Anything's fine, but I don't like characters who are overly emo or overly perky. Even out the angst and the hyper, yes?
-As for her backstory, I already know a few things about her. If you work these into your backstory or history for her, you will be FAR more likely to win.
* She's in her 30's, thereabouts. How old you make her in this range is up to you.
* She's an ex-showgirl who used to live in Lambastia.
That's all I know thus far. Why'd she quit being a showgirl? Where does she live now? What's she up to? That's up to you!
-I like unique things! If your story for her involves something really common in Evelon, you'll probably be less likely to win. If you pull out something weird--and do it convincingly--you'll really impress me!
-You can work my other pets into the story if you like. If you go to my journal, you can read mini write-ups of several of my characters, and you can ask for info on any of them that you like. (Just PM me.) You don't have to, though.
So, erm... Get going, and good luck!
