(I seriously don't know where to put this. Admins or Mods, if you feel this is in the wrong section, please move this.)
CONTEST ENDS ON May 31, 2007.
With the permission from the admins, I am setting up the OC Contest. It has been such a long while since the OC contest has been running, so I'm trying to revive it. I realize I have a request thread, but I'm only taking a certain amount to request.
With every contest, there are rules. 1. PLEASE follow the canon guidelines. This means, no double benders, mary sues, gary stus, second avatar, and so on. I tend to get a migrane when reading about them so... avoid them. 2. When describing your characters, PLEASE DON'T go "like Katara's dress" or "like Zuko's hair". Don't mention the avatar characters in your description AT ALL. 3. I know this is common, but just don't base your character off another character on another show. Too many times have I seen someone who just based their character off a Naruto character. 4. Use actual names that might appear on Avatar. That is, don't use Mary, Sue, Gary, or Stu. 5. Make your character believable! Make it seem as if your character can actually guest star! 6. USE PROPER GRAMMAR! I don't want to read anything like "u r so kool!!!11!" You have taken English classes. 7. Max of 3 entries per person. 8. Doesn't have to be human, as in it can be a spirit, animal, dragon, or what not. ^^
(more rules might be added later, but not ones that you don't already know)
Okay, so here we go. Much like a regular RP, you have a form to fill out.
Name: Age: Bender: Personality: Appearance: Bio:
Now, for the prizes. Depending on the amount of people entering... All of the awards are pixel work and comes along with an honorary graphic featuring the pixel doll.
1st place: Large Pixel doll of your OC along with scenery for it. 2nd place: Medium pixel doll of your OC along with scenery for it. 3rd Place: Small Pixel doll of your OC along with scenery for it.
[if needed] 4th place: Small pixel doll of OC. No scenery. Judge's choice: Small pixel doll of OC. No Scenery.

Name: Xiang-Yun Age: 13 Nationality: Air, Western Temple Gender: female Skills: Airbending, fairly skilled Characteristics: Xiang-Yun has long dark brown hair. She has not yet mastered airbending, so her forehead is not shaved yet and she has no tattoos. She a thin face, with tan skin due to her out in the sun training. She has freckles on her nose, which is normal sized. Her eyes are a light gray, nearly silver looking. She is about 5 foot two, a normal height, and weighs around 110 pounds. Her fingers are swollen because she has an annoying habit of cracking her knuckles. She wears a red tunic, like Aang's, with yellow sleeves. Where her sleeves begin there is a long streak of red fabric,which is sewn to the sleeves that reach out to her elbows. Her undershirt is also yellow, with a red belt. She wears a dress skirt that splits at the legs. Her skirt is red with the end yellow. She wears yellow pants under her skirt, which tuck into her brown boots. Personality: Xiang-Yun is friendly to most. She is fun to be around, and enjoys making up games to play with her airbending. She has many friends, but no real best friend. She tries to include everyone in her games. She fears breaking the rules, because she is afraid of the humiliation of getting in trouble with the nuns. She likes her status, and doesn't want others to be thinking bad of her. History: Xiang-Yun spent her earliest years with her mother and father. She was her parent's last child, all of her other siblings had been taken away to the Air Temples and she never knew any of them. When she turned three, she was given to the nuns at the West Temple. She wasn't her parents first child, so they knew that it was better to give their children instead of having them taken away. In the western temple she grew up, living with the nuns. At age five she started her airbending training. She struggled and complained constantly in her earlier years, but then she grew to love her airbending ablities. She still struggled, but she was a very hard worker. By age thirteen she has started to improve greatly with her bending, and is now trying to work on flying with her new glider, which was given to her for her birthday by her caretaker, Young-Shin. Young-Shin is like a mother to Xiang-Yun, who scarcely remembers her real mother. Young-Shin cared for Xiang-Yun since she was little, and sometimes helps Xiang train privately.
Other than inventing games, Xiang enjoys to falcon. She trains with birds, yet still has none of her own. She calls them over to her, and then lets them go. She doesn't believe in keeping animals as pets, which is why she has no Sky Bison. She thinks animals should remain free.
Xiang-Yun also loves to make fruit pies, which she loves greatly. She doesn't throw them at people, she usually eats them or gives them to her caretaker. Her favorite flavor would be strawberry, but it turns out strawberrys make her break out.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Translations-
Xiang-Yun: "Clouds like Birds" in Chinese.
Young-Shin: "Forever Faithful" or "Forever Reliable" in Chinese.
(PS, Xiang-Yun is a POST war OC. )
This could also be in the contest board.

Yeah I Want to enter Dong Feng my sex spirit << But I'll enter Soba instead >DDD Name:Soba (real name Henge Ken) Age:17 Bender: an Earthbender of Tu Long Personality:Soba is many things, eccentric, bizarre, arrogant, dangerous and not to be taken lightly, he something to be amazed at and an afraid of. He is strange one with his smooth voice and gentle tone, that is pleasing to the ears. Most people are off their guard when they first met him for he is taught to be polite, but once off gaurd Things change with is vulgar words and chauvinistic mindset. He is very distrustful of surface folk especially women. In his underground home women respect and honor the Cave Walkers. So he often yells and hit women when they talk back to him or act like his equal. However he does treat the women the caves with decency, it’s mainly the surface women that he doesn’t like.
He’s also very proud of his heritage as a cave dweller, and sees himself as the “guardian of the caves” He does brag a little and is arrogant and cocky in some causes. He also a good leader and reliable, he thinks not always for himself but for others of his city. He is courageous and bold ready to do anything and everything for his city; he’s also a powerful bender and will not hesitate to crush anyone that threats him and his way of life
Appearance:Soba complexion and appearance are of a pale milky color, with strong supple build to help him through the cave areas. He also has long black hair in a long braid. His hair must never be cut according to Cave Walker tradition. His eyes are almond shaped, with almost permanently dilated pupils. They are pale green color in the sunlight. But nobody could really tell in the dim cavern light. He has a small round nose and large thin mouth, and small ears that are pierced and often have gold studs in them. His body type is very strange. Built for underground life He also has long thin limbs for bending. wide hands and feet. His feet and hands are ultra-sensitive as well His Cave Walking attire is is somewhat complicated. First layer is a loin cloth and a small cup to protect the groin. The Second is a linen shirt and shorts of a cream color. Then is the outer tunic of heavy linen or flax and in some cases glow worm silk, of colors of dark brown green or bronzy yellow. Then Soba puts on belt of leather, from the burradillos which the cave dwellers breed as pack animals. The next is the armor, which are leather bracers, gloves (with out the fingers), knee guards and boots with metal souls and toes. Soba also wears a wide brim hat like a helmet, and carries many things with him, like a lantern with special crystals that very bright and serve to light the caverns, bags of crystal powder to blind foes and jookas which are crosses of snakes and scorpions, and are considered very dangerous he also has a mask built for the poison gas springs in some area of the caverns. Around his neck are collar of silver or quartz bells that resonate in the cave walls. And finally a grappling hook when bending doesn’t work. Bio:Before I go on about Soba’s life, let get to know his people. First Soba lives in a sub culture of underground Earthbenders in city called Tu Long of the Tu Long caverns in the northern half of the Earth Kingdom. This city has been unknown and well kept secret for centuries. The People are well adapted to the underground living and adapted to the low light and cool temperatures, They have used special crystals called “brillianium,” to light the city and lanterns of Cave Walkers, who are tour guides and help the surface. They are highly respected and considered the knowledge keepers of the Tu Long and the brave warriors since all of the Cave Walkers could Earthbend. And because of their subterranean home, Tu-Longian’s Earthbending is heavily potent, and most are masters by age fifteen. Many surface people are very afraid of the Tu-Longians, calling them “spirits” and “savages” They only trust them to get them through cave to the other side, which normally near Ba Sing Sae. They pay them and then they leave them alone. In rare cases would the surface folk ever want to go to Tu Long City, it’s because they are sick and need the care of the healers who use the underground fungi for treatment. Trade in Tu Long is frequent. Because Tu Longians need the linen for clothes and certain foods like vegetables and fruits, they give the surface folk good leather, brillianium crystals and armor from the forgeries. So a balance is created between the cave dwellers and those on the surface. Tu-Longians have a heavy respect for the earth and the things that it bears. They try to use whatever they find for caves and people dwelling in them. So they eat whatever and trade for what they don’t have. So in all, the Tu-Longians are truly to be respected and feared. Soba story begins one evening or morning; the cave folk don’t have a good sense of time so when unknown. When Harumi gave birth to her first child a healthy baby boy, however Toramaru the chieftain and her husband couldn’t think of a name, Harumi was a little hungry one night, after feeding the nameless baby, and first thing she said “Oh I like Soba!” Well Toramaru thought it was name and decided to call the baby that, Soba or “noodles”. However when Soba was brought the naming ceremony, Toramaru gave him a second name, Henge Ken “Eternal Mountain”, though Soba just goes by “Soba”. Soba started training in earthbending at age four. He learned no just to bend but how to move and live in the caves and not just bend the earth but live from it. In time Soba learned to move and grow in his underground home. As the son of the chieftain he must never cut his hair, which bother him because it makes him look more female. He loves his job as a Cave Walker, for him the biggest joy is wandering in the belly of the earth in complete freedom. He hates the surface folk that give him a hard time and bother the heck out of him with questions. He loves his family too, Toramaru is the leader of the city and had high authority over the Cave Walkers and citizens, and his wife is a cartographer for the caves and helps out by charting many of the unexplored areas of the caves. Soba has a little sister name Bao Ling, she just started her training as a Cave Walker, and she’s four years old. Also he has a trained ki’bat named Tama, how goes with him when working. She is useful for her keen nose and will tell her master when she smells danger. Soba never liked the surface folk, yet. Deep down he has an insatiable wanderlust. He loves his home and people but part of him wants to see what beyond the cave walls. Soba has hobbies too, such as bathing in the underground springs, taming and riding the jookas, and flirting with young ladies. Soba hopes one day that the stigma of the Cave Walkers and Tu-Longians would be eliminated and there will be a mutual understanding between them. Image: www.deviantart.com/deviation/39899953/

Personality: Rinash is stubborn and arrogant, but shows sympathy to those who show her kindness. She cares for life, unless its gonna be dinner. Her relationship with the rest of her family was strong. Her little brother,Shui, always annoyed her,but she loved him anyway. Her father taught her everything she knows about weapons and trained her as a warrior from every aspect. And her mother always used to bother her about her hair. Rinash isnt very selfconcious, and rather that keeping her hair in the tradnitionala style, she likes it short and messy.

Her tribe retreated to the Earth Kingdom in search of refuge, and Rinash was left behind. She doesn't know the exact fate of her people, but she knows they are somewhere in the Earth Kingdom. She refuses to believe that they are dead, and she begins to search for them and travels tp the earth Kingdom in an old canoe that was left behind. It took a long time with just herself rowing an old canoe( about two months) to reach the Earth Kingdom.

Daichi
Name: Daichi Age: 19 Bender: No Personality: He is normally rather shy and quiet, though if one is able to puncture his "sheild" they'll find a gentle and considerate person. However, he is very stubborn and will fight tooth and nail to change the decision, this is one of the few situations where isn't shy and quiet. He loves his heritage as the firstborn son of respectable farmersin the Fire Nation countryside. He feels a strong sense of patriotism, but he doesn't exactly agree with Ozai's "take over the world" policy, nevertheless, when he was drafted he fought like anyone else would. He is fairly honest, though when forced to lie he does so well. He is intelligent.
Skills: He always tries hard in swordplay, but is many times better at spear work, perhaps due to time spent working with the scythe on the farm. He can detect lyers and phonies with a smalldegreeof skill, due to his skill in lies which he acquired from the military service.
Appearance: He is about 5'3 (6'3 in modern times, since ancient Asians were about 1 ft. shorter than we would be) Anyway, he has dark, shoulder length hair which he sometimes ties into a ponytail, and sometimes he let's it hang. He has a goatee, golden eyes, anda hook nose. If he is not in his soldiers armor, he can often be seen in a shabby red robe. He also hasa lean body build
Bio: The firstborn to Kenji and Manami, two respected farmers in the South Fire Nation. His first five years were rather uneventful, consisting of sitting aroundand occasionally helping in the simplest of tasks. At age five he met a young boy named Noburu, the son of traders. They became fast friends, thanks in part to Noburu's outgoing nature. At age six he began helping more at the farm, carrying wheat, and trusted with the least dangerous of instruments. While nearing age 7 he was taken on a trading trip to a large town by Noburu and his father Isuel. While they were there, many people mocked their supposed "country accents", by the time the three day "voyage" had ended Daichi's shyness had increased threefold. A while after he came back he was entrusted with gathering wheat and bringing dove-pigeons to the slaughter house. At 10, he was given knives to actually kill the birds and small mammals and an increased role in guarding his three younger siblings, 7, 3, and 3 months old. He also met another boy named Heng, a good swimmer and overall athleic boy, 1 year older than Noburu and Daichi. The three boys became inseperable. Later that year they learned the shocking news: Fire Lord Azulon had died. This was the beginning of Daichi's social awareness ,at least as "aware" as one can be in the Fire Nation. His teenage years were uneventful, with responsibilities steadily growing, until, at 14, he received near equal footing with his parents in terms of responsibility. At age 18 the boys all decided they would enlist, Heng joined the navy, Noburur joined the army, and Daichi was drafted before he had the chance. He has so far seen only one major battle, consisting of his 43rd "Chantrea Vanna" division, against the Earth Kingdom's 22nd "Huang Lin" divison. Both he and Noburu were wounded in the fighting, a Fire Nation victory. They both recovered and have been transfered, with the division to the southern Earth Kingdom to take the town of Nuo Kung, in the mountains. They are currently losing the month old seige, perhaps due to the town's positon on a mountain.
That's all folks!
