For anyone unfamiliar with an Original Character Tournament, here's how it works -

After creating your character and submitting the application, the admins will pair contestants up against each other. Once you have your opponent for the round, go look at their character sheet and learn about their OC. You will then, before the round due date, present a short story (usually in comic form, though it can be written) in which your character competes against and is victorious over your opponent's character. Your opponent will also write a story about their character defeating yours.

Your goal, of course, is not to have the strongest character but to make the best story. The admins will judge, according to their own criteria, which story is the more compelling one. Once they choose a winner, that contestant's story will become "canon" and their character will go on to the next round.

:bulletyellow:Willibauld Tournament Basics:bulletyellow:

Each student that participates in this tournament has been selected as being among the best in their school of study. In the first rounds of the tournament, students within each school will be competing against each other to represent it for the final rounds. The individual competitions taking place are a mystery to the students until they walk into the competition area that day, but each challenge is tailored to utilize the specialties of the school involved.

In the final two rounds, the final four representatives of each school will battle each other in two more rounds of mystery competitions. These competitions will be more well-rounded in nature, and the winner may be able to win in different ways depending on their specialties.

The winner of the OCT will receive a short comic from KimBeee and SquirrellyFries showing the ceremony crowning their character as the winner.

NOTE:

Over the course of the competition, keep in mind all of the backstory for Willibauld posted here on the group page. However, feel free to add your own ideas and tidbits about Willibauld into your stories to help us flesh out the world. You can use your own judgement to determine whether or not your idea is in keeping with the established material, but if you'd like to message us for confirmation, feel free!
Hey all,

So general information that you should know and take into consideration when creating your character; mostly about the world in which they live.  As advertised this OCT is based in the wonderful world of JK Rowling's Harry Potter, and that comes with all the wondrous spells and creatures that are in the books and movies.  BUT we as artists (who have no affiliation with Ms. Rowling) are taking artistic license and are expanding her universe to the shores of Western America.  Which means that our setting is extremely different from Hogwarts: no castles or Quidditch (if you read the HP Lexicon, Americans prefer a wizarding game know as Quodpot).  Instead Willibauld's school is placed in a huge early 19th century manor and is complete with trap doors and secret passageways; think Clue.  The general look of it is old west luxury: tassels, velvet, leather, and buckles.

Willibauld's is also not lacking some of Hogwarts most memorable qualities.  There are plenty of enchanted portraits and ghosts around the campus; seeing that the school was founded during the wild west there is no shortage of wandering souls.  There is also a small wizard community near the school called Gold Hill, similar to Hogsmead.  Gold Hill is known to muggles, or at least part of it is, it doubles as a little known ghost town that attracts the occasional tourist.  Also the entrance to the school is hidden here as a portion of the old gold mine that is in the mountains behind the town.  Other places to know in Gold Hill are the Hangman's Tree, Clarabelle's market, and Horseless Carriage Saloon.

So generally the overall theme is Old West instead of Medieval England.

It never really was, but if enough people are interested in it now then there is no reason why is can't be. We just never got enough people for it to get started.

Well, it's only gotten 2 applications (and those were a long time ago - so whether or not those people are still interested remains to be seen) but we're still willing to start this OCT if enough people apply!
