Who: Me
What: Avi Contest
Why: Because I'm feeling...contest-ish
When: Between now and...January 6th (Sunday). I will announce winners on the 7th. whee
Where: Here
How: Make a tek tek'd avi and a story to go with it (Between 3-5 paragraphs) Post them both (together pl0x) in the thread.

Your avi has to match your story in some way or another.
You may enter 3 times maximum. surprised
You must include a story.

**Note** I will judge on a combination of things, these being: the overall visual appeal of the avatar, the creativity of both the story and the avatar, how clear the story is, and how well the story and avatar fit together.
I will not judge based on: Grammar (though do try to keep things nice), the number of expensive items on the avatar (hint hint!), length of the story (though it must fit the paragraph minimum)

Cost to enter: Nada

1st prize: 2k
2nd prize:1k
3rd prize: 750g
I may award other prizes depending on how many entries there are.

Name: Ryu
Ryu: Hello and welcome to the 23 annual avatar contest!
Backstage whisper: Uh… This would be the first contest…
Ryu: …Well whatever! I’m here to help introduce my three models for the avatar contest!
Here at the (Your name here) guild, we all believe in fair play. I’ve followed this and concocted three completely awesome avatars to better my chances of who-
Backstage whisper: You can’t say that on TV!
Ryu: er… Getting money from Shadow! In any case, I hope you like my avatars and will vote me to the top!
Muscular black shirted stagehand: *Holds up applause sign*
Ryu: Alright, I think its time to let you all in on how I’m pulling this off. Instead of writing three paragraphs like the rules clearly state, I’m pulling off a fashion show/interview with my avatars! Yay for whor-
Backstage voice: NO!
Ryu: … Being… Eh… Rule lenientness… Without further adu, I bring out my first avatar!

*Walks out in a stumble of falling items and loud noises*
Ryu: Ah! Here we have our lovely damsel. Tell the audience what you name is darling.
Mound of items: *Muffled sounds into the microphone*
Ryu: Wonderful, have a seat on the Oprah couch that the producers swear they didn’t steal. For those of you who obviously can’t hear, this is Michelle. Now Michelle, tell us, what is your main theme for this outfit?
Michelle: *More muffled sounds*
Ryu: Ah! Wonderful, I couldn’t have said it better myself, but I’ll try. Michelle here is a Shadow_ninjette fan. As you can tell, she’s cosplaying as out resident guild leader. Wanna tell us a bit about yourself Michelle?
Michelle: *Long series of muffled sounds* *Ryu nods every once and awhile*
Ryu: Wow, that’s just heartbreaking. Well then I hope you find your father one day. Oh! I almost forgot. You see Michelle, here at the Opra-
Backstage whisper: Ryu!
Ryu: Eh, I mean (Your name here) guild show, we like to keep our audience happy. Now everyone! Look under your seats! You’ll all find a hundred grand-
*Audience goes wild as everyone reached under their in a roar of noise.*
*Long pause and everything goes silent as they all pick up small candy bars.*
Ryu: Bars! That’s right! We love you all so much that we’re giving you all the hundred grand bars from Halloween that the old people give kids because even THEY don’t want them!
*Audience stays silent*
Ryu: Alright, without further Oprah jokes, we’ll continue. Michelle, where did you get the money for this outfit?
Michelle: *Muffled noises, pause, then more muffled noises*
Ryu: Yes, I see. So you are such a big fan that you rented all of those items so you could win the money to pay back the rent?
Michelle: *Quick muffled answer*
Ryu: And so really this is just a chance to see your idol Shadow yes?
Michelle: *Muffled reply*
Ryu: How touching. But what if you don’t win? You’ll be in debt, have to sell your house, live on the street, and never see your father again!
Michelle: …
Audience: …
Backstage Whisper: …
Ryu: …Right, that was a bit harsh… Thanks for your time Michelle and we wish you luck on the 56 annual avatar contest!
Backstage Voice: FIRST!
Ryu: Whatever!

*Walks out slowly, the very light being absorbed by his sheer magnitude of awesomeness.*
Ryu: Hello, judging by your ability to walk really slow and look good while doing it, are you from Baywatch?
Gold clad avatar: No, and Baywatch is so old that I’m just going to ignore your lame joke.
Ryu: Ow… Well in any case, what’s your name?
Gold clad avatar: Ruuhentechnathumn…
Ryu: So Ruuhee.. eh… Ru, how are you?
Ru: Fine thanks, but what does this have anything to do with my clothing?
Ryu: Right… Sorry. Well then! Care to tell us about yourself? And your Clothes?
Ru: I’d be happy to. I’m sporting the ancient Egyptian wear that’s been srused up, if you will.
Ryu: I see. Care to tell us how so? I know that the Egyptians didn’t have a moon follow them wherever they went…
Ru: Yes, some things are changed. As you can see, I’m wearing black cloth, back representing the color of the deceased or dead.
Ryu: So… You’re dead? I still don’t see what this has to do with the moon…
Ru: Yes, I’m getting to that. You see, ancient Egyptians believed in life after death. The god would grant you safe passage to the afterworld once Ra weighed your soul on the scale of good and evil… He would place a feather from his headdress on one scale and your heart on the other. If the feather weighted more, then you were pure of heart and not weighed down by evil.
Ryu: Hm, interesting, so… The moon? And why are you a lion anyway?
Ru: Well ancient Egyptians believed that their pharaohs were gods on earth and as you know many gods had animal familiars. Anubus, for example, was the Jackal.
Ryu: Hmm…
Ru: Also, ancient Egyptians believed that the moon and stars together created a detailed account of the success and failures of the current kingdom. Thus, the moon resembles that feature of Egyptian lifestyle.
Ryu: I see, but it looks… Cracked?
Ru: Of course, I am a deceased pharaoh who left the human world and joined the spirit world as his animal familiar, the lion, and was brought back to life by the cracking of the moon.
Ryu: This was just an elaborate way to be a furrie wasn’t it?
Ru: ….Maybe…
Ryu: …. And now a word from our sponsors!

Ummm . . . this is kind of late . . . but I'm posting anyway! Haha!

Okay, my thing is totally different, and it's a a lot longer than specified, but I dun care! Here's my avvie . . .

And here is my story. It's cheesy but . . . oh well.

The Registration and Reform center for Supernatural Individuals, or RRSI building was located at the edge of town. It looked typical enough, its outer walls paneled in white aluminum, two or three windows dotting its angular surface. It went by a different name and a different purpose, and only if one studied it for a number of days would one realize it might not be as it seems. Its occupants worked undercover, operating stealthily and silently in any situation, preffering not to show their faces. Rarely was there left a trace for the public to use as evidence.
Elliot Lawes entered the building by the back door, removing his coat and hat once he stepped inside. He brushed back a shock of sandy-colored hair, and walked through the hallways until he came to a central room. A co-worker of his nodded his head in greeting, as Elliot entered.
“Anything new?” Elliot asked, his voice low. His co-worker nodded, with a gesture at one of the doors.
“You’d better come see,” he remarked, his eyebrows slightly raised. As his hand brushed a panel, the outer edge of the door slit into the wall, leaving a thick, transparent panel of glass. Inside the room lay the sunken figure of a young girl, leaned against the wall. Handcuffs encircled her hands, and chained her to several fixtures in the cell. Her hair was unkept, and her eyes dull. It took Elliot a minute to realize they were an almost metallic gray. He turned to stare at his companion.
“She can’t be older than six or seven!” The other man shook his head in agreement.
“She doesn’t look it, but this little girl caused the death of a number of people. A few witnesses saw her do it, they just can’t explain how. From what they’ve told us, her weapon may very well be supernatural. The remains of the victims are odd as well . . .” He shook his head again. “We’ll have to run some tests on the girl, after we get those witnesses’ memories wiped.”
As Elliot’s gray-blue eyes ran over the girl in her cell again, she looked up at him. For a second, there was a glint of recognition in her eyes, but it passed, and those eyes appeared lifeless once again. After watching for a few more seconds, Elliot’s eyes narrowed.”This girl will probably be of no use to us whatsoever. . . I’ll ask to have her terminated.”
That evening, Elliot discovered he had recieved a message on his answering maching. It was from his ex-wife, and she was in tears. Elliot’s eyes widened as he heard the news that his daughter Luna, who he had not seen for five years, had dissapeared. He thought back to the glint of recognition on the girls face . . . the girl he had ordered to die . . . but had it been only a coincidence?
