tarnished Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Submitting for this contest now! Hope I'm not too late: I regurgitated these cards and character from an earlier contest from last year (a contest that is still unfinished. lol). This was when we didn't have to credit images, so don't get mad if there isn't any creditting for images. I cna't possibly go back one year and find all them. It's just not possible. Name: Nami Suzuki Age: 16 Gender: Female Personality: Nami isn't exactly a girly girl. She is a bit of a feminist and a tomboy, always willing to prove that girls can do whatever boys do. Nami isn't afraid to voice her opinions, and Nami adopts a "hands-on" and straightfoward approach in whatever she does. Unlike many girls her age, Nami is fiercely independent, sarcastic, direct, brutally frank, and confrontational. Nami does like adventure and fun, but she is always eager to fight, taking great pride in able to give "idiots who underestimate me an ass-whipping session". Nami is brutally honest when criticizing others. She is vocal about her opinions on others regardless of statures or age. Nami can be a bit stubborn and unyielding at times, but she is suprisingly understanding and warm when she wants to me. Due to being an only child in a rich hotel tycoon family, her parents treated her like a porcelain doll, resulting in Nami's eagerness to prove that she can be independent. Thanks to her time as a fierce worthy competitor in various Duelling competitions before entering the Duel Academy, Nami is adept in verbally taunting and insulting her opponents, and on occasion her friends. Nami has a particular penchant for sarcasm, particularly when someone states something obvious. She is particularly sensitive about her lack of chest and her short stature, something which often gets her mistaken for someone in her pre-teens/early teens. Inside this hardened exterior, though, Nami hides the fact that she is insecure about her appearance, and her greatest fear is to useless to the people around her, a deadweight. However, despite her many quirks, Nami has shown that she is a quick learner, and her courage and loyalty to her friends seems very stable. Nami values loyalty and friendship over everything, and although it is sometimes hard for to make friends, she is fiercely loyal to them, even to the end. Allegiance: Remnants of Duel Academy Appearance: Nami is a slim sixteen year old, even though she really was never a participator in any athletic activities while she was living in Domino City. The only kind of sport she ever participated in was swimming. She loved it with a passion, and is adpt at it, as she practiced any time she could. Because of this, she has a streamlined body. But Nami lacks very much in the "chest" department and the height department, being around as tall and heavy as an average fourteen year old girl, making others often mistaking her for someone who is in her preteens/early teens. She was picked on by the people around her in her younger teenage years for being short. Nami is usually wearing a light blue shirt with her name sewed on it on the pocket area. Over that, she also has a blue denim jacket that she leaves unbuttoned. Along with that, her jeans lay perfectly on her because of her slim figure. The jeans have a blue ocean levia-dragon design along the right leg pant, the mystical creature almost looking as if it were alive. She has greenish cerulean eyes that glistens liks gems of the sea, befitting for someone who loves swimming so much. Nami also dons a small blue hair clip in her shoulder-length light reddish brown hair, along with a pair of large aqua-themed ski googles on the area just above her forehead, as a fashion statement. Also because Nami is a returning student of the Duel Academy, she is also required to wear the Obelisk Blue attire. Originally, she was an Osiris Ra, but was recognized for her duel abilities and was bumped up to Obelisk Blue near the end of her school year. Her hard work had finally paid off when Nami steadily moved up the Duel Academy ranks to become one of the top students of the Academy, something she wanted to do for some time. -Trump Card: Analyr - The Firstborne Mermaid-Deck: A Legendary Ocean/WATER + Continuous Spell/Trap Cards [Total 40] Monsters: 183 Sylva - The Silver Mermaid3 Warrior of Atlantis2 Levia Dragon - Daedalus2 Aquata - The Secondborne Mermaid2 Aelita - The Thirdborne Mermaid2 Arine - The Fifthborne Mermaid2 Crystal Seer1 Treeborn Frog1 Sangan Spells: 133 A Legendary Ocean2 Enemy Controller2 Lightning Vortex1 Shield Crush1 Brain Control1 Heavy Storm1 Level Limit - Area B1 Call of the Black Ocean1 Mystical Space Typhoon Traps: 92 Tornado Wall2 Astral Barrier1 Gravity Bind1 Wall of Revealing Light1 Call of the Haunted1 Torrential Tribute1 Mirror Force Side Deck: 1 Analyr - The Fifthborne Mermaid1 Monster Reborn1 Aquatic Revival Necrosis2 Malevolent Pincer-Crab2 Spiritual Water Art - Aoi2 Neptune's Wrath3 Amphibious Bugroth MK-3CARDS: If "Umi" is face-up on the field, you can pay 1000 life-points to Special Summon this card from your hand or Deck. In addition, this card gains 250 ATK for every WATER monster on the field and in either player's Graveyard. When this card attacks a monster in Defence Position and this monster's ATK is higher then the DEF of the Defence Position monster, inflict battle damage to your opponent equal to the difference. As long as "Umi" is face-up on the field, this card is unaffected by Trap Cards and Continuous Spell Cards. If "Umi" is on the field, send 1 WATER monster from your side of the field to the Graveyard. Then select 1 monster from either you or your opponent's Graveyard. Special Summon the selected monster on your side of the field in face-up Attack Position. Decrease the selected monster's ATK and DEF by 300 and the selected monster is now considered a WATER Attribute monster as long as this card remains face-up on your side of the field. The selected card cannot attack on the turn it is Special Summoned. When this card is removed from the field, destroy the monster. When the monster is destroyed, destroy this card. Hobbies: Swimming, duelling, learning new skills. Likes: Loyalty, fighting, card games of any kind, water Dislikes: Being useless, her height, being unable to help, her chest Duel Spirit (If Any): Analyr - The Firstborne Mermaid Duel Spirit Personality (If Any): Since Nami had only very recently developped a Duel Spirit, Analyr's personality is unknown. Bio: Nami never liked her parents. They treated her like some china doll, another precious gem in their innumerable jewel-stone collection. Most people would have contented with being fussed over by a pair of rich, loaded, "Old money" hotel tycoons. But Nami compared it to being smothered to death with a pillow and a nice stack of velvet cushions. So, after being fed-up with the umpteenth dinner party she had to attend, passing around vaselins of smiles like a trophy daughter, Nami took up a new avenue to vent her emotional and psychological issues - swimming. Nami loved the water and thrived in it. She learnt to wake up an hour earlier than the sun, just so she could fit in another handful of minutes of her timetable into her morning swim. She became so avidly enthralled with swimming and water that she became a highly developped swimmer with a prowess of her own right. However, after gauging the true number of hours Nami spent at the pool every day, her parents feared (irrationally) that she might one day drown in the pool. So, they hired a team of bodyguards to swim with her and monitor her every kick and underwater thrust, lest she drowned. This had an effect akin to pulling the plug out of a bathtub full of soapy water. Nami soon lost grew exasperated with her parents' paranoia and the bodyguards flocking around her as if she didn't know lungs were aquatically equip. The hotel heiress, now more determined than ever to assert her rebellion and independence, decided to upset her parents by taking up duelling. She knew very well how much her parents despised duelling - and how very little they could do to stop her froming competiting in Duel Compositions. Their hotel chains were sponsors to International Duel Leagues, so to deprive their daughter from Duelling would make them look like hypocrites, which would be the killing kiss to the hotels' public persona. They had to let her duel, although very begrudgingly. As expected, Nami utilised an ocean and water-based Deck, referring to her love for the water. With this Deck, she became a skilled enough Duellist to be recognised by a handful of competitions, which was enough to land her an invitation from the Academy. Knowing that Sato Suzuki and Sakura Miyamura would disapprove, Nami accepted. By the time the Academy was ravaged by the Orichalchos, Nami was in Obelisk Blue and well-established as a Duellist. In a twist of fate, she somehow avoided becoming affiliated with the Orichalchos or the Shadow Duellists, like many of her peers had been. This may have been because Nami believed that individuality and the right of the individual was the one thing that cannot be violated, and the interdepence of a person is sacrosanct. Violating these, like the Orichalcos did, equated to a crime worse than rape in her mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Καsτοr Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, Aesthla. I chose Kastor cuz we were learning Greek in class, and I searched the internet and found Kastor and Pollux.Kastor and Pollux are the Gemini constellation, and I just love them in Saint Seya/ Sacred Saga. Kastors my favorite out of both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsterikcAde Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Entry Reserved. [spoiler=My Character] Name: Arashi ToriyamaGender: MaleAge: 15Personality: Arashi is a very outgoing guy, he gets competitive when it comes to dueling and he'll never back down from a challenge. Besides his headstrong take no prisoners like attitude, he does have a soft side to him. He can also be very romantic at times and he doesn't even notices his romantic side that is why so many girls fall heads over heels for him, but he doesn't even know that side of him. Arashi is also very comedic, he can make hilarious slurs and plays jokes on his friends and even insult his opponents which makes bystanders laugh at his comments. But when there is a sad moment in Arashi's life, he can become emotionally hurt and sometimes it takes weeks or maybe months for him to get over a sad moment in his life,Allegiance: The Duel Academy Appearance: Arashi is about 5'5", he has long shear black hair that is tied back and has one bang hanging from the front of his forehead, he likes to call the bang his "Good Luck Charm" because usually when he starts a Duel he usually blows it with his breath and says "OH YOU'RE GOING DOWN NOW!!!" He has a very slender looking body type but he does workout and he's very ripped for a kid his age, and when he usually begins a duel he would put on sunglasses and ties a bandanna around his neck and then insults his opponent and he would begin the duel. For his attire, he wears a hoody plaided with straps that are unbuckled and he wears a leather black shirt that say "Duel Monkey" on it and the shirt was custom made by him, he wears dark blue jeans that are also plaided with unbuckled straps and he wears chains at the bottom edges of his jeans. Deck: Titans Themed Deck (Check my sig that says "Rise of the Titans" for the whole layout of his Deck.) Trump Card: Book of the TitansDuel Spirit (If Any): All five Main Titans from his Titan Deck Duel Spirit Personality (If Any): Very Stern, sometimes naive and unintentionally comedic, they either talk to Arashi when he's being too cocky, in his dreams, when he's thinking in a Duel, when he's in a tough spot in a Duel or situation, or when he's knocked completely out cold. Bio: Arashi ever since he was eight years old looked up to two of the best Duelists in the world, the two duelists he always looked up to was Zane Truesdale and Seto Kaiba, he has aspirations one day of meeting one of them and beating one of them to an official duel. Arashi was born in New Domino City being borned by his mother: Asuya Toriyama and his father: Nagi Toriyama. Asuya works for the city of New Domino while Arashi's father helps with sales in Kaiba Corporation. When he was old enough, his parents would send him to The Duel Academy so he could hone his skills in becoming a great duelist, after three months of staying in the Duel Academy, he found out that his parents died in an business airplane accident, after hearing this Arashi was in an emotional wreck, but with his Duel Academy cohorts by his side to support him, he cheered up and made a vow to himself that he would be strong and become a great duelist for the memory of his parents. Ever since his parent's death, many strange and dangerous things started to happen to Arashi, accidents and mishaps starting to occur to the young teenager and wondered why. One day when Arashi was at his dorm by himself, he grabbed his deck and his backpack and was going to leave his dorm and then all of the sudden, his room exploded, terrified Arashi looked in awe at just what happened. Two weeks later, a huge man that looked like he was working for an agency appeared to Arashi, this man is named Bo Gardner and he was an agent protecting the prospects of the Toriyama Fortune, he explained to Arashi that after his parent's death, many global corporation giants are after the Toriyama Fortune that Arashi coincidentally inherited and these Corporate Giants are after his inheritance, but in order for them to get it, the only suriviving member of the Toriyama Family must be deceased and so these corporate leaders went after Arashi. Bo explained to Arashi that there are at least 20 secret assassins implanted here in the Duel Academy by the Corporations and he explained to Arashi that he was there to caution him, he'll be sending two high octave operatives to help him and protect him from these assasssins. Right after the thirty minute breifing from Mr. Gardner, a helicopter came by to escort him out of the Duel Academy Island, just right when the helicopter was taking flight, Arashi noticed a blinking device on one of the legs of the helicopter and yelled at Bo to get out of the helicopter but it was too late, the helicopter detonated and Arashi was down to his knees crying his heart out. Ever since that faithful day, every night when he goes to bed, he would hear voices in his head and this is the first time that he encountered his Duel Spirits: The Titans. Arashi thought he was going crazy but the titans explained to him that they were there to help and support him and they explained that Arashi needed to be strong and find his destiny in dueling. Ever since the encounter, he now knows his purpose in life, to survive and be the best duelist as he can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysty Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks for letting my character in the fan-fic. It is really appreciated.It is also appreciated that you didn't capitalize the "g" in Mystery guest. A lot of people make that mistake.Also, two other notes:-The "proounced" in Aurax's profile is supposed to be "pronounced". Just in case anyone was wondering.-There doesn't seem to be any Orichalcos duelists yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelsthla-Mental Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Well, I'm back! Anyway, one extra entry, neat! Although as Mystery guest said, no Orichalcos guy? Bit sad about that. Although I never said anything like "one shadow, one duel academy, and one Orichalcos duelist will win", it's still sad to see one side neglected... ...But I suppose as long as there are three good entries, it's all good :). Anyway, above entry accepted, I just inspected your cards and they are indeed custom :). ...Although it isn't quite a full deck, from what I see, or even traps. I can complete the deck with ideas of my own, but it will cost you points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelsthla-Mental Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 *shrugs* to be honest I haven't really thought about it. I suppose it's about as good as adding in real cards. So nothing much I suppose. 0.2 points per card perhaps. You can still win, but it takes out a small amount of points even before I see how good the custom cards are. So yeah, does that answer your question? Seems a bit vague to me as well. Anyway, one more day until the end! Unless anyone thinks it should go on for a little while longer, it is the deadline!

lunarkane Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm in if its okay. Name: Kane FriezeGender: MaleAge: 16Personality: Kane is an outgoing and fun person to be around. He is rather comedic about most all situations. In a duel however he changes to match the type of deck he plays. He is calm and cool when he duels. He is very hard to anger unless his monsters are insulted or his friend are in trouble.Allegiance: Duel AcademyAppearance: -See Image Section-Deck: Arctic Defense~Monsters~x2 Arctic Barrier Mage (Custom)x1 Arctic Colossus- Ancient Ice (Custom)x3 Arctic Crystal Guard (Custom)x3 Arctic Dervisher (Custom)x1 Arctic Frost Dancer (Custom)x3 Arctic Ice Scale Snake (Custom)x1 Arctic King - Glacius (Custom)x3 Arctic Mirror (Custom)x1 Arctic Ruler - Zero Celcius (Custom)x1 Arctic Snowflake Enchantress (Custom)x2 Arctic Wyvern (Custom)x3 Arctic Zombie (Custom)x1 Calming Frost Sprite (Custom) ~Spells~x2 Freezing Aura (Custom)x1 Sub-Zero Tower (Custom)x1 Mystic Space Typhoonx2 Shield and Swordx1 Heavy Stormx1 Unity ~Traps~x2 Frozen Coffin (Custom)x2 Sudden Blizzard (Custom)x1 Shard Wall (Custom)x1 Crystal Armor (Custom)x1 Dust Tornado Trump Card: Arctic Ruler - Zero CelciusDuel Spirit (If Any): Calming Frost SpriteDuel Spirit Personality (If Any): Very cute and cuddly, and acts just that.Bio: He didn't really fit in at school, but when he learned about Duel Monsters, he found a muse. He quickly became the top duelist in his town. When he joined the regional tournament in his area, he got third place. Due to his happy go lucky attitude he gained alot of friends, who helped him construct his new deck, which included a surprise, a Spirit Monster. With his new deck he passed the Duel Academy entrance exam placing him in Ra Yellow. When the students began gaining powers and things went haywire, he stuck with the Duel Academy group.

Aelsthla-Mental Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's fine LOL. For a second I thought you wrote your sig. Well, now I know better. Woohoo! A last-minute entry. ...Well, last 12 hour or so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelsthla-Mental Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 The results are in! It was close, even as I wrote it down I began having second thoughts and started stuffing around. In third place, with the somewhat odd deck theme and rather interesting character, we have Kastor with 79/100 In second place, a nicely descriptive character and while an incomplete deck, still seems rather nice. We have cAde2009 at 81/100 points. Aaand in first place, with 82/100 points, with a brilliant character making up for the (still decent, but somewhat lacking in number of custom) cards. Tarnished. Congrats! Please note anyone who lost the tournament and/or thought they deserved better, it may not have been that yours was written poorer or the cards sucked, it was because of the judge's preferences. So blame the crazy judge if you want. Now that you know the results, any questions before I declare this contest finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunarkane Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 What did you think of my deck? Just wondering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelsthla-Mental Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 It was ok, interesting (if a bit short) character description, and the deck was nice, just needed a tad of editing on one or two cards effect-wise (not wording it mind you, I understood, some of the effects were just a bit lackluster), and a slight enhancement on the theme (i see it, but it could use a bit more support). *shrugs* if you're still interested in the character joining, I suppose I could allow it anyway. Probably only a minor roll though, and the cards would be edited slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelsthla-Mental Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 No problem! Well, I suppose I'll leave this open for questions until i've given everyone their reps, which should be by tomorrow (three per day I'm guessing?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelsthla-Mental Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Meh, I may have another contest when my second arc is over.

AsterikcAde Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I never get first place in a contest, I'm always the runner-up... But I can't say that I'm not happy because you chose my character to be in your Fan Fic and that's saying something! Thanx man! I'll be reading your fan fic more often now to see how your're going to use Arashi in your story, thanx again! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelsthla-Mental Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I sure hope you enjoy it too. Anyway, it's been a swell first contest hosting for me as well. I think it's turned out OK, and I hope I improve for the next one. I wish all entrants luck, and hope you have a nice day. The champions can check out arc two and wait for the points in the story where their characters come in, then pretend to have read the rest :).
