Toxic OCT



Toxic OCT is an Original Character Tournament currently on its final round, a surprisingly three way race for the gold, hosted on Deviant ART. The setting is basically a Garden of Evil.

Storyline is quite simple: A wide variety of characters are asked by one of four Guardians to help them to save their world from a creature named Toxen who has taken away their king. The name is a pun of the word "toxin", so his (its?) powers are quite obvious.

 * Mother Nature: ...Duh.
 * Eyes Always Shut: It makes you wonder if Mother ever bumps into any walls...
 * Or what will happen if she opens them...
 * Friend to All Living Things: Mother. After all, she IS the Guardian of Plants and Life.
 * Fertile Feet: Kinda obvious.
 * Green Thumb: In a "punny" way, and a literal way.
