[Quiet Man Cometh]

**END DATE: July 30, midnight Pacific time.**

Okay, so here's the deal, I have collected what I want of the event items and have pearls left over, not including those that have yet to be awarded for contest particpation and prizes. Shame the people who do a lot of the work don't get the party fun, so here's my contribution to the masquerade.

Staff Contest

Mini-games and prizes

Rules: must be staff to enter.

Prizes: Pearls or pearl items and avatar art, quantities to be announced. At least 5 participation pearls for joining in either game.

The prizes are currently being donated by myself. Any other users who would like to donate a prize of any sort are welcome to do so and will be included in the judging of the avatar contest.

Mini User-name Scramble

Post 2. Pull the ten user names out of the words and phrases provided. Not all the letters are used of course. ;). There are 10 users in particular but points count as well for alternative usernames that I didn't notice making their way in there. PM answers to me, Quiet Man Cometh.

Hint: all names appear somewhere in this event forum. None of the names are current staff. There are no names under four letters. ;)
Prizes: pearls for correct guesses plus bonus for alternate user names.

Hero/Villain Character Contest

Create a villain or hero character. Enter an avatar of said character with a short backstory, maybe a paragraph. Writing quality is nice but won't affect scores. It's the concept that counts. Post submissions in the thread, one entry per category.

Judges: Me! (Quiet Man Cometh), Fey, Serra Britt.
Prizes: Avatar art (waist or bust up) of the winning entry for winners in both categories by Quiet Man Cometh; 20 pearls for the winner in each category; ??? for overall winner.

The mini game are all open between now and the end of the event.

Staff Raffle

Participation in any game gets your name in the raffle. Otherwise, simply post in the thread saying you would like your name added. Details in post #4.

Hero Villain Character Contest Submissons

Heroes

Lucid- Winner!

Sapphire Edge
"Oh, this is ridiculous..."
Sapphire Edge. This was her identity now. It felt different and a little scary. But surely it was the right thing to do. The costume definitely felt silly. But every female superhero has to ooze sex appeal, right? After catching her fiancee cheating and subsequently throwing his car into the harbor, Emily knew she was different than most women and had to put that to good use. Using her strength to wield a sword the size of her own body, nobody would dare defy her again. New York was safe as long as she was there to frighten everyone into submission.

Suzerain of Sheol

Xavier Akatschia



The firstborn royal son of an oppressed vassal-kingdom, Xavier grew to adulthood in the shadow of tyranny, seeing daily the injustices perpetrated on his people which he was helpless to prevent. Tutored by lore-masters and priests, he was a prodigy: gifted in intellect, compassion, empathy, and wisdom. Also incredibly adept physically, his only flaw was, perhaps, too high of an estimation of himself, for in his late 20s, he left his homeland on a quest for an ancient, forbidden power: the secret of godhood itself. With it, he would return to his kingdom and liberate his people from their destitution, creating a land of miracles. However, this end was not peacefully-attained in his mind, and Xavier suffered greatly for what he knew he must do: plunge the world into war to achieve his dream. Perhaps fortunately for those who would have perished in his war, he never returned from his perilous journey.

Villains

Suzerain of Sheol- Winner!

Kehs'tel'estra



A false prophetess, nurtured by a fallen angel to bring about the death of an age. She suffered a harrowing loss when she was younger, which led to the awakening of the dreadful powers within her. Leading a rebellion against the corrupt theocracies and ecclesiarchies of the land, she traveled from village to village working false miracles, gathering followers to her cause and forging them into an army of fanatic murders. Her favorite ploy is send a terrible plague to a town, well ahead of her coming, and to arrive as a savior, healing the sick and raising the dead, enslaving people in their very hearts with a false vision of salvation. She affects a humble, contrite, and austere persona, with a spark of hidden passion just visible enough to entrance those who meet her, but beneath the facade, she is a cold void of sentiment, cruelly assessing and judging others, valuing them as nothing more than disposable implements for her machinations. She wields a khopesh carved from the petrified wood of the World Tree, and has used to it personally behead the greatest of her enemies, all to choruses of adulation from her enraptured followers.
