Category Archives: Character Design Challenges

For our penultimate Fantasy RPG class, we're going to be focusing on rogues. For anyone who doesn't know what that entails, you're basically looking at the sneaky characters. Thieves, assassins, ninjas are all fair game here, anyone who uses stealth and speed over raw power classifies. However, we're not looking at people who would be best suited to laying traps or dealing long range damage, that's for next week, you want to be as up close and personal, preferably without being noticed in the process. Bonus points go to anyone who can get onto the poll without me noticing. 😉

As per usual, no limits on entries this week and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). Please read the contest rules before entering, have fun and good luck.

Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before.

So, last week we did a nice and offensive RPG class, so this week lets take a step back and take on more of a support role shall we.  This weeks contest will see you take on the role of the Cleric, the healer of the group and general man of faith. Now, this class isn't as varied as the Mage or Fighter classes, but basically what you are looking for is a medic that heals using faith in some sort of god, so it doesn't have to be a Monk or Priest per say, Witch-Doctors and the like also count. It'll be interesting to see what participation is like on this one.

So, onto our next Fantasy RPG category contest, this time covering the "tin can" classes. Your task is to create a character that fits into any of the fighter classes. So that's Barbarians, Knights, Paladins, stuff like that. So make sure your inventory is filled with the strongest armour,  the mightiest swords and the stoutest of shields. Physical strength is the order of the day here, so leave your traps and spells behind and get creating.

I was talking to Vectorman316 the other day and he suggested doing a series of contests themed around fantasy RPG classes, since we haven't done them before. Pretty neat idea if you ask me, I don't know how I didn't think of it before. So that's what we're going to do. This weeks class is the Mage, because it is the best class (who doesn't want magic?). So your quest, should you chose to accept it, is to create the best Wizard, Warlock, Druid, Magi, Sage, Summoner, Necromancer or Magician you can. You must show proficiency in Heromachine wizardry to truly excel in this task, so make sure your mana is full and equip yourself with your most powerful tools, such as a good staff and a spell book containing such enchantments as the Masking Spell, and set forth. You must have completed your mission by the highest moon of the seventh day, to prevent the prize from falling into hands of your enemies.

(Incase you haven't noticed, I'm having way too much fun with this).

So, this weeks challenge is to create some sort of robot. Not a cyborg or mech-suit that is worn by a human, a mechanical automated machine controlled by an AI or simple program. It can be a utility robot like R2-D2 or a war machine like the Sentinels, humanoid like Optimus Prime or non-humanoid like GLaDOS. Just make sure it's awesome.

For this weeks challenge, I want you guys to create something with an underwater theme. It can be something that lives underwater, something that was designed to go underwater or just an underwater scene. Hopefully, you have enough scope here for some excellent creations, so lets sea them. Sorry, bad pun.

So, Valentine's Day is this Saturday and, whether you have someone to share the day with or not, it's always nice to celebrate love, so that's what we're going to do for this weeks contest. I want y'all to be as romantical as possible with your pictures this week, I won't be any more restricting than that (other than obviously stay within the site rules, so nothing explicit please).

Ok guys, this week I want you to create some form of powered transport system (i.e. no ridden animals). My only rule is, no space-craft (that's a contest for another time), but you can do any terrestrial transport you can think of otherwise. Oh, and just to make it a bit more interesting, you know the vehicles section in the companions category? Yeah, you can't use it, except for minor parts (i.e. wheels). Have fun.

Ok guys, you should know what to do in a TGT (2 Great Tastes) contest by now. You're given a compulsory genre (in this case Fantasy) and you have to mix it with another genre (e.g. Sci-Fi, Horror, Western etc.) for your entry. Simple as that.

Yeah, no cryptic titles this week. For this weeks challenge you must design a character that is part organic and part mechanical. The character doesn't have to be human, but they have to be cyberneticaly enhanced in some way and these enhancements must be visible, so if you are planning some form of cyber-endoskeleton (e.g. The Terminator T-800) you must show it in some form.
