ABOUT

Graveyard Playground is an original character battle contest inspired by Hiromu Arakawa's "Raiden 18" and Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein".

In this tournament, participants must enter a team composing of one Monster and at least one Doctor or creator of the aforementioned monster.

Battles work by matching up two teams against each other, and the monster of each team defeating the other with or without the help of the doctor. In order for a match to be considered 'won', your opponent's monster must be depicted as incapable of fighting any longer. How you will do so is up to you.

No magic is allowed in this tournament.

AUDITIONING

As of now, the only requirement that has been decided is a Reference sheet of both your characters. You may have them on separate Deviations, but please make sure they are linked together.

Reference sheets must contain a color guide to both characters, as well as a full view of them.

All entries must be in by November 1, 2008.

Send a note to this account containing all your requirements.

LIMITATIONS

Monster
>Your monster must be an undead mash of human corpses that run on a standardized battery. (Illustration of battery to follow.)
>You may only use human parts to make your Monster. You may not use animal parts, or have your character rely on any sort of technology aside from the batteries.
>It is requested that you describe the parts of the corpse and who they were taken from. (i.e. Legs of a Track runner, etc.)

Doctor
>The Doctor character may be of any age so long as they still give off the impression that they are a doctor.
>The Doctor may have non-human body parts or strange mutations, but they still must be recognizably human.

Please remember to give as much explanation about your characters as possible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


May we have more than one doctor?
Yes, you may.

You said no magic, but can I give my character powers?
If you can explain these "powers" reasonably, then yes. (Such as minor genetic mutations.) But you must not go overboard with the abilities you give your characters.
