What are we looking for?

Crikey, look at this gorgeous critter right here. What a lovely creature it is, ain’t it?

Welcome back to the contest everybody, I’m a bit rusty on this, but let’s get this show on the road.

We want to see the best character ideas you can come up with that has to have something to do with animals in a significant way. This could be literally anything you can think of as long as you can tie its origin or ability into the theme. Anything from Spider-Man expy’s to say… a hyper intelligent platypus with telekinetic powers.

And if you say UwU, you’re getting kicked from the discord. (Feel free to come back tho <3)

Where should I draw inspiration?

Have you read a biology textbook? Start there.

What am I being graded on?

Creativity

Your job is to create a character that, not only is unique, but has a unique personality, history, and set of powers and weaknesses to go with it.

Concept

The concept is generally diving more deeply into the history of the character as well as the powerset. How well do they work together? How do the powers work? How does the character function in SHRP's normal society?

Execution

This goes without saying that we're looking at the overall application and flow of the application. How pleasing it was to read, and how easy it was to understand. Was the origin story spot on? Did it make sense for the character? Are the powers perfect?
