The Themed Character Creation Contest (name subject to change)

[Peridorito]

So... I had this idea and decided to make this thread. I don't know what everyone is going to think about it but we'll see.

Every round (which will range from a day to a week, I haven't decided yet), I will give you guys a theme. Then, you need to create a concept for a character that fits the theme. We will then vote for the best one.

Here's an example: let's say the theme for this round is swordfighter. Then, you would post your concepts:

User 1: Marth (Fire Emblem)

A character that uses quick and weak sword attacks. His down special is Counter[...]

User 2: Shulk (Xenoblade)

Shulk can switch between different Monado arts with his neutral special. His side special is Backslash, which deals more damage when hitting oponnents from behind. [...]

Etc. The concept can be as detailed as you want. It can be a paragraph or a whole moveset.

And then we would vote for the best one.

What do you guys think about this idea? If you like it, I can give the first theme and we can start. Please also help decide how long each round should be. And feel free to share ideas for future rounds.

I love this idea. It'll give me some ideas for characters I want to support for sure, with several characters I already support being on my wishlist due to the themes they fill (Lip: Damage-over-time specialist with elements of terraforming; Vaati: Airbender/windbox specialist; Lycanroc & Isaac: Earthbender; Krystal: Staff-wielder; Corsola: Stone Wall; Moge-ko; Combo fiend; and so on).

This seems like tons of fun!! I think this could quickly become popular, and I'd gladly participate from time to time

Bumping the thread to see if anyone else likes the idea.

I'd happily participate! I'd suggest each theme contest be a day long.

I’m in. It will allow us to redo clones and create completely new ideas
