Hey I'm gonna start something that'll maybe go nowhere let's go

I HAVE POLLS

What is bro cooking

tears of the kingdom is a horror game

note* I will not reveal which side I am on until the poll is over to avoid bias

New version of the Skell Flight theme!

Hard to decide if I like this or the original more, they're both good.

Finally settled on two OCs for this, Xenoblade 3 OC Thea and Helen the old DnD character I barely got to use. Very excited for this.

Welcome, friends!

This is the OC tournament! Submit any of your original characters to have them go head to head! Just submit their full name, the title of their story (if applicable!), and a little biography for me to use as propaganda in the polls!

There are just a few rules you must abide by:

You may NOT submit someone else’s OCs, but you may send them this post and/or tag them in it so they may submit OCs themselves!

Any form of OC is acceptable! Sonic OCs, self inserts, characters in a story of your own creation, etc so long as they are yours (adopted characters are also welcome!)

The only exception to the above rule is I will NOT accept any OCs that were made for the HP universe OR the AOT universe. Please don’t fight me on this

you may submit multiple of your OCs, BUT, they must be from separate storylines. No two OCs that are able to interact (unless they’ve interacted in a temporary crossover form). And, of course, only submit the same OC one time! Once is all you need

If you have an OC, and your friend has an OC, and they exist in the same universe, they’re both still able to be submitted because they’re owned by different people!

The picture you submit of your OC must fall under one of the following categories: a piece of art that you’ve drawn, an image from a picrew, a picture of yourself cosplaying your OC, or a piece of art drawn by someone else (a commission, art request, art gift, etc)

Under no circumstances may you submit a picture of someone (a face claim) that you found on google images or wherever, as i do not know if they consent to having their likeness as part of this tournament

When the voting commences, there is to be absolutely NO making fun of or being hateful towards ANY of the characters in this tournament. Be civil and polite, I’m begging you

If you have any questions, just send an ask!

I think that pretty much sums it up! Now to tag a few bracket blogs

@blue-character-brawl @redandyellowbracket @multicolorhairswagtournament @redcharacterbracket @green-guy-showdown @green-character-battle @mfshipbracket @princesspoll @deadhorrorcharacterfight

Submit here (the deadline is April 20 at 5 pm CST):

Have fun ;)

For fun, here’s the order I played through Xenoblade (do not do this):

-Started with X of all things because I thought it looked cool. It’s the odd one out, with a bigger focus on side content, a customizable avatar, giant robots you can control, and almost everyone has an American accent (they’re canonically from America it’s fine). Also Shulk and Fiora’s voice actors are voice options for the protagonist, neat.

-Played 1 and it’s sidestory next when it came out on Switch, very good time.

-Played 2 after that, I skipped it when it first came out because reasons and forced myself to play through it because 3 got announced. Nia, Zeke, and being blessed by the gacha gods and summoning KOS-MOS got me through 2. I still haven’t finished the DLC.

-3 and it’s DLC after that, both are very good. I’ve heard the DLC has a lot of references to some older games the devs made but I don’t have those.

I’d recommend starting with 1 and then 2, there’s some cool stuff near the end of 2 that hits harder if you’ve played 1. X can go anywhere after 1 since it’s the closest gameplay-wise and X has some references to 1.

A BREIF GUIDE TO STARTING XENOBLADE

okay, firstly, xenoblade refers to 4 video game. Xenoblade Chronicles 1, X, 2, and 3. They're really good and introspective and you should play them. but its not that simple.

1, 2, and 3 are all on Nintendo Switch. X is on WiiU, so its okay to skip that one if you dont have the console. X is also a little wierd. It's completely different and futuristic, so even though it was released between 1 and 2, play it after those. Maybe even after 3.

The issue is where to start.

You can start with 1 or 2. Most people start with 1, naturally. I started with 2.

The case for starting with 1 goes as follows:

It was the first released

It works perfectly as a standalone if you don't want to continue after it (even though you probably will want to)

more... normal. than 2

The case for starting with 2:

worse gameplay, so its up and up from here

slightly more lore relevance, pulls u in more

get it over with bc its kinda wierd and oversexualized and Rex's voice direction oh lawd

my personal play order recommendation is 2 (and maybe dlc prequel sidestory), 1 (and included sidestory), X if you have a WiiU, 3, 3's dlc. You can swap 2 and 1, but meh.

The dlc for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is important because of the Future Redeemed Sidestory. It's so important both Protags from 1 and 2 come back, along with Computer God from 1.

and then when you're inevitably confused afterwwards, either come crawling back to me (probably in tears. you will cry) or go to Luxin on youtube. have fun, play xenoblade, live laugh lacerate.
