merich1 (Medium) - Both of your characters are now animals. Actual animals and not anthromorphs (animal-people). They still retain the qualities and powers of your and the opponent's wRHG though.


Oh... okay. Cool.

Question 1: Do they have to be "real" animals? They can be... dragons, or something, right?
Question 2: Only the two wRHGs, right? I can still have other human characters?
Question 3: Can I have a prologue that does not start with "Once Upon A Time"?

I believe that's it. Going to start now!

I spent all night finishing the rough draft of the battle. I was literally up til 3am. Now I'm going to look it over, proofread it, add detail where it's needed and add in the antes for the next week, since I won't have wifi again til next week -_-

Best. Ante. Ever!
I love it. I'm gunna wreck it!

Hewitt: Since I can break the 4th wall, do I break it to talk to you, the reader of the story, the little kid, the audience of this piece, or just anyone, my fellow wRHG reading it (meaning I can get a little more than PG in that dialogue)?

Was betting on that an Ante would actually aid me with this, but no dice x(. Still clueless on what I'll end up writing, I suppose I still have a week though.

Still, a question - are there any restrictions on what the guardian can be, or the number of said guardians?

Ante's are gambles, they'll only really help if you need a frame work to work with in.
In Round 1, since my character was already heavily limited, couldn't use her speed without injury or her gadgets, I opted out. I felt lots a people lost out on votes cause they tried to shoe horn in their Antes. If you want an example of a well integrated Ante, check out Lobotomizer's entry in round 1

So, Hewitt, not to bug you or anything, but can I still join? My info is on page 7, if you choose to accept me.


I am waiting for another late entrant to come in. Since you are both late I wish to pair you up eventually with a slightly increased deadline of 3 days. If he doesn't show up then I will plug you in and replace _Ai_ (who has yet to come and claim). You'll face Shadowkirby if that's the case. I'll let you know in a day's time.

Okay Hewitt, i kinda don't get what you mean. Do I just describe three colors as if I was talking to a blind person and then that's it?


Yep. Not a blind person in-story but a blind person IRL. You have to convey colors in a way that an actual blind person can relate to the color given that he has never known nor seen color in his whole life.

1) They can be mythical yes.
2) Yes you may.
3) No.

I guess I was being vague. To reconstrue, a Guardian is a character that helps another character develop characteristics. A common example is the Family Dog that a kid grows up with. Or Sirius Black.

Dammit if Arvine was in here, there will be an exploding saccharine goodies.
Good luck guys.

Hew, can I still sign-up?
I promise you a dose of over-sweet package of family friendly enjoyment.
It might be sickeningly sweet that you even might throw-up.
I'm joking for the sweet part, but I'm serious about joining.

@ BirtDog and Hewitt:
I had a quick question about the description of BirtDog's character that I wanted to make sure that was okay with you and him.
Is it alright if I describe his character without the straightjacket?

I'm ok with it since I was going to do the same thing. My version is with little kids, so little Dominic would wear like mittens or a long sleeve sweater, you can even use child Dominic's personality like I am. But it's important to cover the hands with something. It's vital to the character that he masks his shame/Whispers. Without the hands being covered he "changes".

If you want to know more about Sid's extended personality shoot me another PM because I want to get more into detail on my character page with him, just haven't had time to.

A framework was precisely what I was looking for, but after Hewitt's elaboration I think I'm even more lost now =S.
XJCLW and I just might be having the hardest time here, since neither of our characters translate into child-friendly descriptions so well (can be done, just with difficulty). On top of that, The Beast seems to be quite the Mary Sue, so I'm not sure how I'll stay true to his character while still having him get bested somehow. This challenge has me stumped so far, and I've almost lost my week's worth of buffer... x(
