Rating
Language 2: Swearing is generally permitted. However, the language cannot be used to severely abuse.
Sexual Content 2: Sexual content is permitted. References and writing about genitalia and sex acts are permitted, but explicit detail is not. Fade to black, or use the dotdotdot rule. (Let's keep it PG-13.)
Violence 2: Graphic violence is permitted. Explicit description or in-game narration violence is allowed.

Despite these ratings, keep in mind that there is a limit, and you should not cross it just to garner attention. Also, resorting to curse words is also like adding senseless fluff to your posts.

Character Creation Contest

END DATE: April 30th, 2020 @ 11:59PM EST

JUDGING END DATE: May 7th, 2020 @ 11:59PM EST
THEME: Nightmares at the Big Top"







What are we looking for?


Welcome to the show boys and girls. Where your nightmares come alive. Bring the kids, enjoy the show! But you can’t leave until it’s time to go. I hope to see you all someday, but alas it’s time for a macabre play. Welcome to the Big Top boys and girls, and it’s here that you shall stay.

Creepy clowns, and freaks abound! We want to see your interpretation of the creepiest shows in town. The Big Top is where your nightmares lay, to come alive to shock and play. Join us now as we create the creepiest circus in SHRP history!
Where should I draw inspiration?


The circus of course! Find a role to play, and make it good and scary. It’s Halloween in April now, and time to get freaky.





What am I being graded on?



Creativity


Your job is to create a character that, not only is unique, but has a unique personality, history, and set of powers and weaknesses to go with it.



Concept

The concept is generally diving more deeply into the history of the character as well as the powerset. How well do they work together? How do the powers work? How does the character function in SHRP's normal society?


Execution

This goes without saying that we're looking at the overall application and flow of the application. How pleasing it was to read, and how easy it was to understand. Was the origin story spot on? Did it make sense for the character? Are the powers perfect?





Who is grading me and how?

Grading Scale

With the three main components of Creativity, Concept, and Execution there will be a grading scale of 1-10. 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.
