The Judges/Big 6:

YES! another OC Tournament I know its been a while this tournament consists of a roster is comprised of a cast or OC combatants with differing abilities, advantages, disadvantages, goals, and endings, and weapons etc... You can also tie plots to your advances throughout the tournament

The Audition:
Important! Please Read!
This OC Tournament will take as many entries as possible up until a set date and only 64 Will officially get in. Once that point hits the 6 Judges aka The big 6, will go through choosing not by just skill alone, but by character creativity, knowledge, etc... So someone with mediocre art skills who is still improving and young if they have a good character pattern and survive very well and get in just as easy as someone who is like 26 and went to college to improve their skills. I don't like leavening people out and this allows just as equally creative people to get in. Yet I cannot let people in if the judges or audience cannot read the comic so it must be clean and understandable.

Participants should draw a picture of their character going from their world to the Island, but you MUST be informed about the Big 6's existence. Even thought the Big 6 is in their own universe they are the most Richest and Powerful beings and know being sited in every universe. So they must be mentioned in anyway before being taken to the island.

The picture can be as simple or detailed as you want to make it, but make it understandable and have fun with it don't enter to slack off. Also you can have your own plot to it or tie it to other characters plots.

You will need to have either a reference sheet of your character ready, or images in your gallery to help your opponents in drawing your character. Yet you will need as much detail about your character so people can find fun and interesting ways to fight you. This is mandatory if you are selected for the roster.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entering/Entries:
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS, STEP-BY-STEP. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING HERE IF YOU ARE CONFUSED.

1.) You can use any OC of yours or one constructed by you and your friend as a Collaboration. It cannot be other peoples OC's unless you have them send me a Note Of permission. No Fan Art Characters from TV Shows or Movies, so that means no Naruto or Bleach OC's in this tournament!

2.)Create an 'audition image' which will act as your registration for the roster. Not everyone will make it! There is a limit of 64, after submitting your audition image, the judges and I decide who is in and who isn't based on the overall creativity and dedication displayed in the audition image so its just no based on drawing abilities also your mind!

2a.) The audition image must depict your character and the mention of The Big 5, your character is being shown in their native universe to be provoked or taken to the island(you deiced) where the tournament is being held.

2b.) This can be a portrait, or a comic in itself, simple or complex. Just show us that you want in, and you're in this for the long haul. It can have any number of other characters in it. Just make sure your combatant and the mention of The Big 5 is in it!

2c.)Upload your audition image and note me with a link to it.

3.) .Once the audition date is passed, a week or so later the roster will be announced, and you will be paired off with a random enemy.
In the mean time, submit a reference sheet of your character, or link to images of your character from your gallery so your opponent knows how to properly draw them; the reference sheet must include on or in the DES box below on your deviation's your strength meeknesses, pasts if they effect them, weapons, powers, attitudes etc...

4.) Draw either a single image or an entire comic about your character defeating your opponent, somehow or another. Death doesn't need to be included, it can be defeating them, humiliating them, just basically putting them out of your characters way so you can move on and if a must even surrendering, just remember u have 2 weeks to complete these entires.

5.) The 6 judges a.k.a. The Big 6; will view your entries and pick which displayed more creativity, composition, cleverness, etc... The winners will be announced when all the entries are in. Same goes for picking who gets into the tournament!

5a.) Then each time you do the same over and over until we are left to the final 2!

Characters:

1.) Fan art or any characters that are not made by you will be turned away flat-out! Nothing from any popular TV shows etc... :3

2.) One combatant per slot. However, each entry can be a collaborative effort between artists. If you are a writer who gets an artist friend to draw for you, that is fine also; if you can only pencil and want a friend of yours to color, sure, go for it.

3.) Characters can use familiars, summons, dopplegangers, separate entities, etc. I just don’t want squads of OC’s squishing into one slot. You can enter a character with a travel companion maybe like 7 at most, but they cannot all fight at the same time they can only alternate each round or can help for mere seconds of the fight to pull off certain moves or deception. So basically, other characters from the roster can "lend a hand" just not in every fight, just keep the main fighters fight in mind!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Battling:

1. Battles can be done one-shot portrait style or in comic format. Though I’ve noticed a trend of comic format entries always doing much better, so just realize from the get-go, that’s the type of thing to get noticed. They are encouraged. This contest should be, after all, about expanding your artistic horizons, and there’s nothing like trying your hand at comics to learn you a thing or two about perspective, composition, pacing.. and of course backgrounds.

2. Comics don’t have to be in color. Of course a masterfully colored/grayscaled entry is going to stand a much better chance than flat pencils, but it’s entirely up to you and what you feel most comfortable with. Yet as I've stated before the still hand penciled drawings can get in easy if they are clever, and easy to fallow then they are just as good as a fully finished entry! The judges look mostly for creative minds and love to be pulled into a story so have fun!

3. Battles don’t necessarily have to end in death. Nor are they going to be judged by gore, bad-ass or cleverness and plot aswell as comedy. It just needs to be a "defeat". Like said above we are looking for your creative mind! Use what you got; If you love comedy embrace it!, If you like violence,depression, and action then make it all your OWN!. Or if you got a hunger for comedy and gore then bring it on (Try to stay decent with accordance of the rules on DA..) All things summed up just make your OC enter, fight, and even add ur own story plot and tie it with the big 6 or your own, storyline and creativeness and cleverness grabs the judges A LOT! and they will want to see more!

4. This battle will take place in a island located in every universe in existence but cannot be found on your own. The Big 5 live every were on their Towering 10 Islands and creations. They also have controlled people from different dimensions like the combatants on the island, but they obey the command of the Big 5. They can interfere with the battles your choice to use them. their reference sheets will be posted soon!

5. 64 combatants means six rounds, [64- 32 - 16 - 8 - 4 - 2] You will have a full two weeks to submit each entry, in an effort to encourage working at your own pace and giving it your all. The contest currently has no official start date at the moment(There will be on though) so get making' em ahead of time now if u want!, Also if we end up with school interfering with combatants and they meed an extra week or some days then it will be allowed to be fair.

Unlike other OC Tournaments where they are held on one Island, this OC Tournament is held by many Islands that extremely huge bigger than the doodle map depicts READ THE FALLOWING!

1. Boggoreh - Is the most boggiest Island you shall ever set foot on. It is long dangerous and the thick mist causes people to lose direction very easily. It consists of mutated bog animals such as alligators, lizards, frogs etc.. It is impossible to not spend more than 48 hours shortest being lost in this island.

2. Winter Mountains- A city that is built upon, under, and around the Mountain side, and tops. It is always cold and higher the worse it gets. It always snows at he highest points and avalanches can be caused quite easily. No one has ever made it across to the other side of the island because of the tallest mountain that has vigorous tunnels inside. Its so big it is cut off the map.

3. Broken City - This is one of the few Islands that is very small, but when we talk small about these islands it means larger than any city in the world. Its been broken down and left behind by The Big 5 a couple years ago when they seized new land later. No body knows who is there, all they know is people still live there such as fired or left behind workers for the company.

4. Death Drop - This Island has never been talked about much not even the Big 5 knows what is in the giant pit, but who ever falls must find their own way out because no one else has found their way out. Lets just say the Big 5 use to be the Big 6!

5. Heaven - A wonderful world thought to be a grat idea for a airborne city kept in the air by propellers keeping it in the air. Something went wrong only the big 5 know. Now it is a huge eye sore glowing in the sunlight a huge piece of constructed metal floating in one spot above the islands. There is solid ground, but now the once to be "Heavenly" Theme park looks like it was constructed out of random slabs and sheets of poorly made metal. It hovers above Bridge 9 and the light reflecting off it allows no one to see it unless your up there, you might as well look at its reflection in the water,

6. Community Province - This is the Island with a huge tower and a huge city well busy and filled with innocent by standards who don't know the world around them exists just their town. It is hidden in many trees and no one is permitted to leave the suburbs and city. Its the most convent place for the big 5 to be currently resided on the top floor.

7. The Docks/Port - No one every uses the ports only to ship goods and such to the Community Province. It is also a private dock belonged to the Big 5 when they must leave on meetings. It may seem busy, but no one leaves not even the Fighters.

8. Bridge A1-is one of the 3 bridges that takes 2 days to cross estimated time. It is miles width and length wise. It is fairly easy to find someone, but just don't tire yourself out on it because if u run into someone u might be to tired to fight back!

9. Bridge B1- is the non-man made bridge that takes 4 days to walk across and as several small jungles that are hard to see on the map. Mostly though it is a open field that leads to a high cliff and also to the only way to reach "Heaven" The only way up is airborne obviously, but there is a average male butler who assists you in a simple ferry plan ride up. Just you must know his name, the problem is he wont say nore will anyone else. If you are rude he will automatically call one of the 5 higher Assassins to kill you. Also the higher assassins know his name so it just might be best to let him bring them. Some fighters may start in Heaven or on Bridge B1.

10. Bridge C1- is half man made and half made by the span of a cliff. It is not much to behold, but it takes you into the only known entrance and exit point of the Desert Wasteland.

11. Sprawl Falls - is probably the most beautiful place to be. It has a huge waterfall that you can only see part of on the map. It leads down stream behind it to ancient city with roman design which is hidden and has local natives who do now know of technology as far as ours today and worship unrealistic Gods and Goddess. In front of the waterfall there is a lake which is surrounded by a forest and keeps people from seeing who is over on this island. Well unless your at the shores then people could see you...

12. Wasted fields - This gawd awful place is full of every dirt known to man, has miles and miles of rock walls and random pits, cacti and tons of vultures flying around for food. There is only one known exit point and entrance by Bridge C1. There is said to be underground tunnels in the pits that lead to every island except "Heaven" theme park. This also includes to the "Death" island.
