Prompt: Design an Esarian.  Fill out a short biography (or long if you choose). Submit your entry to me by sending me a link.

Prizes
1st: 3 month Premium, 300 points, Drawing by me (3 people must enter)
2nd:1 month Premium, 200 points, Drawing by me (6 people must enter)
3rd:1 month Premium, 100 points (10 people must enter)
People's Choice: 3 month Premium, Drawing by me (15 people must enter)
Runner up 1: 50 points (20 people must enter)
Runner up 2: 50 points (25 people must enter)
Runner up 3: 50 points (30 people must enter)

All entrants retain ownership of their designs and may continue to use them as fan characters for my world or redesign them for their own purposes.

Due Date: July 4th 12:00 p.m. (US Central Time Zone)

Rules:
1) An entry consists of a drawing of your character design and a bio (template for minimum below).  You can draw your character in their Demi form (or Wolf form for Wolf types), Human form or both.  The entry can be a full reference sheet or just a drawing.  Full bodies are preferred, but headshots are allowed.
2) No bases or tracing.  References allowed.
3) 2 entries per person max!
4) Feel free to bend my world's rules or break them if it really helps you finish a design.  If you start breaking every rule in my world you'll lose some points, but don't let my rules stifle your creative freedom.
5) Your character may have connections to mine, they just won't be cannon.
6) Ask me about anything you need help with for the biographies!  There's a lot of info in my gallery and it can be hard to find things.  (And sometimes I just haven't written out useful information)

Judging
1st-3rd would be hand picked by me and would be based 1/3 on the art, 1/3 on the design and 1/3 on the bio.  Or at least I'm going to try to judge it like that.  Tentative rubric here: sta.sh/0rmsr2eleva.  People's Choice and Runners up would be based on popular vote.  One design cannot win more than one prize, but if one design has a chance at two prizes, for example People's Choice and 3rd place, I would give that design the better prize (People's Choice).

 Biography Template:
Name:

(Feel free to add more!  It's better if you do, this is just the bare minimum to get you started)

Overview:
  As promised, I'm hosting a contest with nice prizes.  Now the contest prompt is to "Design an Esarian" but you can instead design a Demon type, a Wolf type, a Ghost or a Source Magician.  I expect that the Esarians themselves will be what the majority does though, so the rules and info below will be tailored to that.  As stated above, the more people who enter, the more prizes I am willing to give, so it is to your advantage to advertize!  I'll call the contest a huge success if I can get 10 people to enter.  Now the goal of the contest is clear enough, but what even is an Esarian?!

Where to Start?
What is an Esarian? sta.sh/0dtbew1xqdi
What should I know about Arecace? sta.sh/0wxd7j1fz3v
(covers the continents, jobs and pets)

Note: Those are longish reads.  Use the bold titles to avoid parts you know or don't care about

Final Note:
Is there way too much text for you to deal with?  Yes.  That's why I've tried to point you to the most relevant stuff to make this as painless as possible.  But that's also why I'm putting my money on the table for this.  It's a pain in the ass. :D  But a fun pain in the ass.
