Greetings, friends, foes, and newcomers.

As many of you know, every month us here in off-topic host a contest of skill, planning, and determination. Pitting the best character we can forge to see who's best.

This months theme shall be Hans Christian Andersen Fairytales.

That's right, you're spoilt for choice. Over 150 different fairytales to choose from. However, anyone who uses a fairytale used by a canon character will automatically lose 10 points. So make sure you don't double up. Here's a handy dandy fairytale list with links to most fo the fairytales included. I even did most of the work for you. Aren't I nice =3

On to the minutiae.

The rules are simple;

1) The judge (that’s me btw) picks one and only one theme, that can be anything that crosses your mind, from an animal to a period, from a mythology to a concept, or maybe a simple rule.

2) Using a character creation template supplied bellow, you submit an OC that best fits the chosen theme.

3) The character must conform to all established laws of cannon to be consider eligible for this competition; those rules are:

- CNR (Color Naming Rule, meaning their name must remind of, mean, or sound like a color in some way).

- 1 Semblance (one Semblance means one ability - no multi-powered superfreaks).

- No Grimm hybrids of any fraction or type.

- No Aura-possessing androids - Penny has been stated to be one-of-a-kind, for now.

4) Characters must not be affiliated with the main cast except by simultaneous attendance at Beacon Academy or membership in other institutions (such as White Fang, Atlas military, etc).

5) No reality shifted characters (That means no bringing in Goku as a Hunter.)

6) Characters, Weapons, and Semblances can be re-tooled, but must not have been submitted to the 2 most recent versions of the OC thread, Semblance thread, Weapons thread, or any previous contests. Semblances and Weapons posted to the Semblance or Weapons threads during the time of the contest will be disqualified (so you get 0 points for that semblance/weapon).

7) Weapons and Semblances must be your own creations; you may get advice via private chat or message wall from anyone, but the base must be your own idea.

8) The first full character you post is the one that will be judged, however you have until the end of the contest to modify and upgrade the character as you see fit.

9) Judges must post the grading system within the first three days of the competition starting to make it fair on everyone, including newcomers.

10) First time entrants will be given a 10 point bonus to their score so long as their score before the bonus is 70 points or under. This at least gives them a fighting chance aginst the veterans.

After one week, the competition ends and I choose a winner based on which character best fits the theme using a grading system and my selective standards.

The winner get’s bragging rights and get’s to be the judge of next month’s competition and its theme.

I will be posting the template and grading system momentarily.

The deadline shall be this coming tuesday (April 10th) at 23:59:59 by the wikia clock.
