(Please note that all times are by the Wikia clock, which uses Universal Time Coordinated.)

Hoomans, Halloween is around the corner. But who gives a shit about that? We have an OC contest where you use your brain juices to create the greatest OC in the universe. Ok, maybe not that far.

For those of you new, the rules are relatively simple:

1) The judge (moi) picks one and only one theme, that can be anything that crosses your mind, from an animal to to a period to a mythology.

2) Using a character creation template I will supply 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, 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 can be re-tooled, but must not have been submitted to the 2 most recent versions of the OC thread, or any previous contests.

7) The first character you post is the one that will be judged, however you have until the end of the contest (The 6th at 23:59:59 wikia time) to modify and upgrade the character as you see fit.

After one week, the competitions ends and I chose a winner based on which character best fits that 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.

A link to the previous competition.

The Theme Is: Celestial Bodies. This ranges from the Moon up to VY Canis Majoris and even 55 Cancri e. Explore the universe and find your chosen ball.

HOWEVER, as this month is spoopy month, I'm handing out a bonus 10 points if Halloween has some manner of importance to the OC. It doesn't have to shape their life, just a proper implementation of Halloween without being forced nets bonus points ranging from 1-10.

If you feel badass enough, you don't even need to do it.

Scoring goes like this:
 * Basic Info: 10 points
 * Appearance: 15 points
 * Characteristics: 25 points
 * Weapon: 20 points
 * Semblance: 20 points
 * Combat Info: 10 points
 * Trivia: Extra points if it contributes on OC in some way.
 * Halloween Bonus: 10 points

For a total of 110/100. Good luck to everyone!
