Veni Vidi Vici- The ultimate OC showdown
_{brought to you by *Severita and ~Fox88}

Veni, vidi, vici; possibly the shortest and classiest war reports to date. But how did Caesar get there? And much more importantly, how will you?

It's up to you to tell us that in VVV, an OC tournament. Submit your OCs and draw your way to the top!

How it works:

First all OCs that are submitted will be paired together randomly. Because we know it's very possible we get an uneven number of entries, we go by a first come first serve policy.
However! Incase you get unlucky there are more ways to get in!
If you don't in there's always a chance that, for some unknown reason, someone falls out! So, if you happen to be an unlucky uneven or even sign up late(to a point) there's still chance that you get in.

But back to the pairs:
Once you a paired up you are told your 'partner' and you have a total of 10 days to either draw a comic or picture(or whatever) about how your OC would beat the other person and then the best idea is voted on. The winner, as would be expected, moves onto the next round.


RULES

-Original Characters only. This means no Fan-characters either. At all. We don't care if your character is only from the, for example, Avatar universe or goes to Hogwarts 50 years after Harry Potter and doesn't meet anyone who is possibly related to any of the characters. No Fan-characters. Period.
HOWEVER! A 'self-portrait' would count, in example, if you draw yourself or something/someone meant to represent yourself, it counts... As long as it's not used as a fan-character.

-Keep with the due dates, please! Or, if you know you can't , don't sign up! It's as easy as that! I am aware that things can come up, but if you are in the tournament and you know you will not be able to make a dead line please tell us, we might even be able to give you a bit more time. But please only sign up when you know that, aside from any surprises, you'll be able to pull through, and not just the first round. It's unfair to the others.

-Despite the obvious fun to drawing something to a bloody pulp we ask everyone to not over do the gore. Some people like to drink tea while looking.
But honestly, it's not all that great a feeling to see your OC made into a bloody pulp, espeically if you end up losing. Besides we want to keep this somewhat child friendly.

-It would be greatly appreciated if you wouldn't reuse the same comic/picture/idea over and over again. It gets old. I understand thinking up a new way to beat someone up isn't all that easy, but try to be creative.

-We are not allowing written entries, why? It's way too hard to set a word count and it just makes a whole lot more problems. Sorry!

-Pictures or comics should be between 600 pixel width to tops 900 pixels.

-This is not required, but it would be nice if you would add a very short sum of how your character fights kind of thing, or at least what would difinatly not work to beat it up. We don't want someone burning up a character who is fire resistent. However, please make sure that the character can be defeated somehow. No godmod characters, in other words. (Gods are welcome, though.)
