What are we looking for?

In this special character contest for SHRP, we’re looking for a pair of nemeses. Nemesis’s? Nemesi? Wait, I just looked it up. It’s nemeses. And that means that you get to team up with someone in SHRP, to create the best nemeses for yourselves.

Now I know what you're thinking. “This seems fairly open.” And “Why do I have to pair up with someone?” and of course “Jeez, Zonkes, why are you so handsome?” The answer to all of these can be answered with a single word. Fun. I noticed that SHRPs contests have been less popular as of late. So I’m trying out this new formula.

So, if you wanna be archnemeses, like batman and joker, or just rivals like Batman and Superman, remember to ask a friend to enter with you, and DM me with your partners name on here or on discord.

Oh, and for some extra fun; let me know if you want ME to pick if you’re doing a hero or villain. I think that should be fun.

Where should I draw inspiration?

So with this one, we're gonna need you to work with the person you're entering with. So be sure to ask them where they might be drawing inspiration, and if that works for both of you; go for it! That's the best I can offer you on this one!

What am I being graded on?

Creativity

Your job is to create a pair of characters that, not only are unique, but have 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? In this contest, SHRP is also asking you to work with another person; so we’ll be judging the both of you together for this.

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? How well does it work with your nemesis?

*A ghost slot is a character slot that you gain temporarily to allow one more character to your roster. Once you choose to retire a character, you lose that slot. You do not gain a permanent character slot.

Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
