Iron Character!(A contest) - Sunday 4/26 3pm PST

[_Kai_]

EDIT - Round two, this Sunday! See details in the last post!

 

Do you have some names that you really wish you had a concept for? Do you have fun seeing what you can do with a name? Welcome to Iron Character!

This is a contest I will be running on Saturday, 3/21 for fun, names, and prizes!  You'll come in with a name and 500k, and walk away with a different name and possibly some winnings!

 

How this Works

You offer a good one or two word name that's languishing in your roster and 500k, don't post the name publicly though!

I arrange to get them from you and store those on my contest account and give you a number(Don't have to transfer them until the day of, but you *can* transfer it earlier if you like)

Saturday at 3pm, I draw numbers and pass out all the names to all those who entered

You have one hour from when I finish to make a costume and a backstory for the name you now have

I, and some volunteer judges, will check out what you all made, and award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place influence awards from the entry pot!

 

Location will be in Kallisti, exact spot TBD

 

When we're done, I'll compile a list of any names you all release into the wild and post them up in the Drop a Name topic for the rest of the server 🙂 Hit me up here, in PM, or in game or on Homecoming or City of Roleplay's Discord where I am @Kai !

I've got a name and some funds to put into the mix!  Thanks for running, Kai!

Iron Character is happening in 1hr 15 for anyone interested! Kallisti Wharf AE, doors on the backside of the Plaza building

Due to some awesome people, there is now 20mil in prizes as well!

Where is the ae?

[ZeroKai]

Thanks for the participants who showed for this first round! The names offered and given out for concepts were:

 

Big Al Hazred(which, organizer failure, I misread as Big Al Hazard)

Angel USA

Absentee

Power Loader

Subnet Mask

Restraint

 

All the previous owners of the names agreed that the person who ended up with the name did a much better job than they had, and 36mil in prizes were given away! 

Due to generous donations by the community, this event will be back next month!  The AE in Kallisti is located at the back doors of the building in the central Plaza, its non functional, but a great setting for small contests.  Thanks everyone for coming, donating, and having fun!  I encourage those who participated to share their bio stories, they were all amazing!

 Big Al Hazard, AKA "The one man wrecking crew", was one of the most notorious hitmen of his time. He was renowned, not for his percision, class, or tact, but for his ability to send a message. Al was not the man you sent to do things quietly, he was the man you sent when you wanted a real spectacle. You know when he has finished a job, because a city block would be gone by the end of it. However, his carrer was cut short when he attempted to do some work in Paragon city. He massively underestimated the heroes there, and was majorly wounded and arrested a week after his arrival in the city.

 

For most, this would be the end, rotting away in a jail cell for the rest of their days, but not for Al. He spent years planning his escape and his return, and now he roams the streets again. He is still nowhere near his previous peak strength, but he is slowly building himself up, preparing for the day when he can finally exact his revenge on Paragon city.

For my part, I ended up with Subnet Mask, and thought it appropriate to make the character even though no prizes for me.  I chose to display the 'The' with the name so when targeted it says 'the Subnet Mask' and her battlecry is set to 'Come taste my banhammer!'

[Saeletra]

This looked like so much fun! I have the perfect name to donate, but not the inf. Maybe I'll scrounge up some inf by next month!

[_Kai_]

Don't worry about the buy-in influence, that was because I as a player didn't have much to give away and wanted to make sure the winners went away with something extra. With all the generous donations from people with far more than me, I have plenty of prize money to give away now!

One hour until Iron Character Round 2!

[ArchVileTerror]

If I hadn't -just- got home from work, I'd probably hop on to at least check this out.  Sorry, Kai.  I won't make it tonight.  Good luck!

SoundFury (1st Place)

FourSee (2nd Place)

Starcharger

Hot Particle

Orchestrion (3rd Place)

Leftovers

Rainstorm

and Concuss

Orchestrion's backstory, in particular, had me in stitches.  Wish I'd saved it.

[_Kai_]

Here's Concuss, which is who I ended up with 🙂

[Saeletra]

This is the name given to me. As you can see, she's been out and about testing her suit. Since the contest she's realized a few things, pockets are super important and she really needed to do something with her hair!
