Hello everybody! It's great to see you all again. Sorry that the Gift Exchange sort of... fell through. Unfortunately with the site going down and everything that needed to be done, it made things difficult to continue. But! I'm back and ready for another contest. So here we go!
In this brand new contest, we're going to test out Roleplaying ability! Now, obviously... People here should know how to roleplay. If you didn't, you wouldn't be here. So in this contest we're going to test out your ability to roleplay some sort of canon character. It can be from a Video game, a Movie, a book, a TV show, or whatever you can come up with.
However, there's going to be a twist to this.... Each one needs to follow a specific topic. Why? To keep things on the same page. And so, we'll be having a topic for each character to follow. For some characters, this will make things more difficult. For others, it'd be incredibly easy. But hey... It's supposed to be fun.
The topic is...
From there, you get to figure out how the character reacts. You can also include thoughts leading up to that. Now then... If there is a character you want to play, and you cannot for the life of you think of a way for this scenario to fit.... Let me know. But be prepared to explain exactly why you don't believe that character would fit in that scenario. If I don't feel that it was explained enough, then I won't give an exception.
But wait, Gift Giver... The title is "Who's that Canon?"... How does that make sense? Well I'll tell you! Each submission needs to be PMed to me. At the end of the submission period, I'll post each and every response I got, and the people will vote for it. This way there's no telling who is who. It makes the voting more fair when the time comes.
As always, my prizes remain a secret until the very end. But I will be giving prizes just for participating. So don't be afraid to give it your best shot.
This thread will remain unlocked for any questions that people might have. Please try not to discuss the character you want to portray. And don't be afraid of taking someone else's character. Multiple people can play the same character. I will also allow TWO entries per person. Keep in mind that is per person, not account. So you may submit two characters to RP as. That way you can have even more fun.
Here's the rules, one last time.
Here's the coding to use for submissions
Good Luck to you all! I look forward to reading your entries!!!

The topic is...
A long hallway sits before you. Its a little dark, with some of the lights overhead flickering. Instructions to this very building and the great room you were told to go to rest in your hand. You continue down the hallway and head to the door before opening it (In whatever manner you wish). Suddenly, the lights all around flick on and the people within (Other canons to whatever you choose if you'd like) shout "SURPRISE!" It seems they threw you a party! Balloons, gifts, streamers, cakes, etc are all over the room.

Here's the rules, one last time.
- Following the prompt listed in blue above, roleplay as a character in that scenario
- All submissions are to be PMed to the Gift Giver account
- At the end of the Submission period, all responses will be posted anonymously for voting.
- Submission period runs until September 8th, 2014 at 12:00 PM (That's Noon) EST. (At any point after that time, I will post to state that submissions are locked. If I haven't posted yet, you may still submit. But try not to wait that long)
- Voting will start once submissions are posted and will last exactly 7 days from that time. (Again, after that 7 day point, I can post to end the voting at any time. You may still vote until I have posted, but try not to wait that long)
- If you are unsure if your character will fit the scenario, PM me with a detailed reason why. If not sufficient enough, you will be told to follow the scenario.
- You may submit up to two entries per person. Keep in mind, this is not per account. Do not try to cheat this system. It will be found out.
- Multiple people may play as the same character. There can be three entries from Naruto if three people play as him. Don't be afraid of picking someone that you think someone else has already picked. But your two entries have to be of two different characters.
- All questions may be posted here. Please keep character discussions to a minimum, if not being done at all.
- Please follow the proper coding below when submitting your entries. Prompt is included in the coding to make things easier
