Character Creation Competition
The Character Creation Competition is a challenge that takes us back to the routes of roleplaying, where each participant who enters will submit a unique character in the hopes of winning as the crowd favourite. Each round will begin with a theme and/or scenario for our entrants to use as they design their character concept, all the while ensuring that any requirements and restrictions are fully obeyed and fulfilled.
Details to Note
Once a character sheet has been completed, the entrant’s submission must be PMed to @RPGC with a message title that matches the same title name of this thread — we don’t want your submission getting lost do we? Unlike other competitions public posting of your work is NOT allowed and doing so may forfeit that particular character submission.
When all the Character Sheets have been submitted — and as soon as the due date has passed — a new thread will be created where you can see everyone's submission for the first time, cast your vote, and provide feedback for others. Only one vote per person will be accepted, but feel free to give as much constructive feedback as you want to those who have entered; discussing attributes such as positives and negatives, as well as areas where improvements could have been made. From there a winner will be announced and they will be given the opportunity to choose a theme/scenario for the next round.
By providing an interesting challenge to everyone we can hope to hone our skills to improve our skills in character creations without fully committing to an ongoing roleplay.

This round's theme will be of someone who sails the seven seas, an adventurer who is after treasure and bounds booty, a scallywag who pillages and plunders... The theme is none other than Pirates!
Requirements
- A pirate cannot be a pirate without a pirate name. Even if they have a real name every entry must have a title for which they are known or feared by.
Restrictions
- No magical traits such as voodoo, witchcraft, or rune magic.
- No superhero style abilities like what you may expect from One Piece.
- Maritime pirates only, therefore no out of time period characters such as space pirates or steampunk.
So get creative and submit those entries!
