Welcome to the Character Creation League! This will be a League-style tournament where you submit original characters and items to draft into a team and pit them against all other teams!
RULES
1) You may submit up to Ten Characters, Ten Items, and One Arena.
2) All concepts must be Original. You can make up brand new ones, but preferably these would be characters/items you’ve actually used in some previous work of yours, be it a short story, RPG, Character Creation Tournament, etc.
3) No fan fiction versions of published characters or other people’s characters. If you must do a “fan fic” character, at least have it be an OC within the context of another work, and not just a slightly different version of an established character.
4) Items should preferably not just be things like, "Hat that gives you every power from a video game franchise." Try to come up with original abilities for it, even if you use existing franchises for comparisons.
5) Please post each Character, Item (or group of related items), and Arena entry in its own post, for ease of collecting and categorizing. Please label appropriately. All entries will be posted to this thread.
6) Donut Steel.
POWER RANKINGS/COST
Every Character or Item’s Cost is determined by its Rank. Ranks are determined by the following: Can your character (or a normal person with the item) defeat an established character no more than 50/50 in a Khazan Arena? Your character can effectively have any power you wish, as long as they do not break the Tier limit you want to set them at.
Do NOT attempt to sneak in overpowered characters or items on a technicality. For example, “My character has all the powers of the Beyonder in his Cosmic Form, but takes five minutes to activate his Cosmic Form, so Captain America can kick his ass in Khazan, so he should be Tier 1” is not an acceptable character entry. Even if your character does have some “wind up” to their power, for the sake of a Tier judgment, their full power is considered when deciding.
To qualify for a Tier, your character must break even with:
TIER 1 – MCU Captain America using a machine gun.
TIER 2 – MCU Spider-Man with a grenade launcher.
TIER 3 – Movie Professor X in the Avengers 1 Iron Man suit (Mark VII).
TIER 4 – Movie Apocalypse with bullet-dodging reaction speed.
TIER 5 – DCEU Superman with Magneto’s Helmet.
BUILDING YOUR TEAM
All players will be given 40 points to create their team. After every match, 5 more points will be given to each team to spend on further additions to their group.
Each team must have a minimum of four characters to start with (post-fusion, pre-cloning). There is no character maximum.
No single character with all their items can be worth more than 20 points.
Characters and most items, once picked, cannot be picked again. Certain items, however, may be selectable by more than one team where noted.
A Draft date and method will be determined upon interest assessment.
MATCHES
This will be played more like a regular tournament, with players voting on match-ups, which will all be presented in a single thread. Every team will get to fight every other team and the official winner will be the one that has the most victories overall. Submitting strategies ahead of time won’t be necessary. I won’t insist on debate, but you’ll get a couple days to do so if you like before moving on to the next round.
