How many of you think it would be a good idea if the "Favorite Character Contest" did make a comeback?
I'm aware that most of the the Staff (https://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28&Itemid=52) team is busy with their own projects and that contests and events do take quite a bit of time, work, effort and planning to organize. But I think this contest would put a little spotlight on some of the community's most favorited characters, and bring out some of the most fascinating stories kept behind them. It would encourage players to bond with their characters more, perhaps? Anyway, I think that the Staff (https://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28&Itemid=52) team are on the right path with introducing new contests.
Favorite Character Contest
Members of the community are able to vote forward participants for their creativity on
coming up with an imaginative and compelling character. It would be fairly similar to
how the "Member of the Season" voting is done but with some requirements.
- Rules
- Only one submission per user.
- You may only submit your work.
- All entries must be in on the day of the deadline.
- All entries must be posted on the Submissions thread/Characters board/etc.
- ...
You must provide your character's name, gender, age, species, appearance, personality, background, and other general information (nicknames, likes, dislikes).
- Guidelines
- All species are accepted. Or maybe only canines and felines?
- As for the appearance part, you should provide a brief description of your character and a screenshot of them in the game only wearing the default markings with no downloaded/custom markings and items. Maybe?
- As for the personality part, you should list their talents, strengths and weaknesses, moral beliefs, likes and dislikes, and any other personal information you have considered. You want your reader to leave with an impression of who your character is as a person, not just what they look like.
- As for the background part, you must provide a history or background created for your character.
- Judged On
- Creativity [How unique/creative your character is]
- Usage [How well you take advantage of your character making skills]
- Layout [How you represent your character in the topic and interpret it into a canine/feline body]?
- Overview [The overall character biography]
- ...
- Voting Process
The Staff (https://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28&Itemid=52) team will take all the entries and put them into a poll that the community votes for. The last stage is the "Winners," in which the Staff (https://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28&Itemid=52) team reviews the highest voted members and compiles that into the Winners thread.
Please let me know your thoughts and comments on this!
That'd be fun! I'd like to see some of the members who can't make presets be able to have a fair chance among others with these fun contests.
Yas gurl, yaaas~

Definitely a fun idea ! Players really do care a lot about their characters and I'd argue character creation is what makes FH so loved in the first place. Having a competition like this would really draw a lot of people in ! I'd back this idea %100 !!
Thank you for your opinions!
