Spirit and I actually started working on an updated draft for the rules when we realized that had never been put on the no-no list, Now is as good a time as any to let the new rule set be looked over and adopted for future use.

1) The judge picks one and only one theme, that can be anything that crosses your mind, from an animal to a time period or a specific mythology. 2) Using a character creation template that will be supplied shortly, 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 (The (date) at 23:59:59 wikia time) to modify and upgrade the character as you see fit.
