The Book of Stories (Original Character Tournament): Difference between revisions

 

{{quote|''"Will you be a Champion of Order, prepared to set the world to right? Will you be an Emissary of Reason, to give the madness meaning? Or are you a Agent of Chance, swept up into the Book of Stories by luck alone?"''}}

TBoS has a few things setting it apart from other OCTs, aside from allowing any media to be used, from comics to flash to prose or any mix in between. It puts very little emphasis on the characters fighting each other as the bigger focus is the mystery of the Book itself and the characters' influences on said book, allowing a great deal of flexibility for the contestants when it comes to writing their entries. Instead, each round is themed on a genre, where contestants aspire to write as little or as much of the genre as they want in their entry. The last round has no genre involved, fittingly enough.

* [[We Used to Be Friends]] - Lady Ink and Mudd had a falling out over their methods of taking care of the Book.

* Gift: Construct

* Opponent(s): Moira and Pippin

* [[Badass Normal]] - Adante and Vin live in a world where magick is normal, and everyone is capable of using it to some degree. They are both considered below average in its use. [[Bottled Heroic Resolve|This does not hinder them very much.]]

* [[You Are a Credit to Your Race]] - This kind of thinking makes Vin [[Berserk Button|very angry]] as he considers himself a [[Self-Made Man]].

* [[Nonhuman Humanoid Hybrid]] - Telique is half-elven, half-demon.

 

* Gift: None

* Opponent(s): Irial

* Opponent(s): Nair and Pura

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]] - Antagonist is jealous because he's not exactly real like the mortals who entered the Book of Stories and very much bound to it.

* Gift: Function

* Opponent(s): Deborah (Deb) Grierson

* [[Not So Different]] - Luka noted early on that her curiosity rivals that of a goblin like Rupert, which is probably why she tolerates him.

* [[The Storyteller]] - Luka is into collecting stories.

 

* Gift: Function

* Opponent(s): Dahnnae Marfinn and Bechen K’vette

* [[Goggles Do Nothing]] / [[Goggles Do Something Unusual]] - Azrael's goggles were a gift from a friend, which she treasures for the memory. They get an upgrade during the audition where Mudd enhances them with the Function of Descry.

* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]] - Azrael is a manticore.

* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]] - Physically imposing features aside, Azrael having a pseudo-male organ makes it all the more confusing.

* Gift: Page (Lost)

* Opponent(s): Mirasis Xartha

* [[Cranky Neighbor]] - Smarmadine may as well be this to Flume. To be fair, all his kind are naturally this due to being made up of two incompatible creatures.
