Character Contest - Multiple 1st Place Winners! (LL, any gender)

ikaterina · July 17, 2020, 7:03pm

Hey y’all!

I’m in need of a decent number of background & supporting characters for the story I’m working on. Instead of just having everyone drop their character cards/details, I figured I’d do a contest!

Since they’ll begin to appear in Chapter 2 of my story, I’m going to be picking winners fairly quickly (by July 22 at 6pm ET).

Please read the rules below to find the password!

CONTEST PROMPT
What song best represents your character’s personality? Explain why. (If applicable, highlight your favorite lyrics from the song.)

Rules - IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Limelight only (sorry InkMasters )
Fill out the entry form included below in its entirety to be considered! You may use character cards instead of the entry form template, I just need all the info listed!
If you have an Instagram, please follow me on @itsrina.ep so that I can tag you if you win! I’ll be going by the honesty policy on this one, so if you enter & don’t follow, please include in your submission form that you don’t have an Instagram.
Tag at least one person in your entry post to spread the love!
Submit your entry by 6pm ET on July 22 to be considered!
I will do my best to keep the authenticity of your character, but please understand that I may need to change their outfit for certain scenes. This is why your explanation of the song will be especially helpful.

Roy · July 17, 2020, 7:40pm

Hey! Hope you are fine. My stories are in ink. Can I apply with their limelight versions. And I want to apply for both boy and girl as a couple. Is it possible?! If possible then, should I apply seperaetly or together?!

ikaterina · July 17, 2020, 7:45pm

You can absolutely apply with their limelight versions! I have nothing against ink whatsoever

Yes! You can apply for both & I’ll make a note of them being a couple. Even if they don’t win the same level of prizes, I’ll make sure to not pair them up with any other characters!

Please submit separately but you can do both in the same post (let me know if that doesn’t make sense).

Roy · July 17, 2020, 7:49pm

Maybe you think that you can hide / I can smell your scent for miles / Just like animals /Animals / Like animals-mals
Why does this song represent your character’s personality?: Alec is a IT department guy, working with technology is both his passion and job. He helps Roy to find out the bad guys when they are hiding. So, I think of this song when I write his Character, as he finds out the bad guys with his skills like animals find out their prey.

Summary

Song Title & Artist: Love the Way You Lie by Eminem (ft. Rihana)
Link to https://youtu.be/uelHwf8o7_U
Any favorite lyrics okay to leave blank if not applicable: Just gonna stand there and watch me burn / Well that’s alright, because I like the way it hurts / Just gonna stand there and hear me cry / Well that’s alright, because I love the way you lie / I love the way you lie
Why does this song represent your character’s personality?: I always think of this song when I write the character Roy, because Roy has a very troubled past, she lost her dad, she lost her best friend, she never got the chance to say his friend that she love him. Inspite of everything that happened in her life she became strong no matter what. She burnt in anger, in the fire of revenge, drowned in the ocean of sorrow and betrayal. Yet she said I like the way it hurts.

Song Title & Artist: Blue Bird by Yoshiki Mizuno
Link to song:
https://youtu.be/N9LgkGBeQAc
Any favorite lyrics:
“I know you’ll spread your wing and take
Off to the sky“
She knows that she still has a lot to learn, so she often seeks guidance and reassurance from others. However, she knows that she has to stay independent (and not rely too much on others) and believe in herself, because other won’t be there for her all the time.

“You say if you could fly
You’d never want to come back down
That you’d only have eyes“
Being stubborn, driven, and determined, she is the time of person that strives to achieve her goals. She always tries to be ahead of everyone and tries to be productive all the time. She finds it hard to ever take a break when tasks are looming over her head.

”Even the feeling I have for you deep in my heart
Must be expressed in words that I can’t find”
Some deep emotions can’t be expressed through words, only through actions, which is why she believes actions speak louder than words. She does not often say “I love you.” Rather, she shows her love through her actions by showing care and concern for others.

Why does this song represent your character’s personality?:
The lyrics about being as free as a bird, breaking free, and aiming for the sky represents her desire to know more and keep reaching for her goals without letting anyone—or even herself—get in the way. It represents her realization that perfection is subjective, as it depends on each person’s standards.
