Title: Capsy ( story done )
Post by: Moldrill on November 24, 2008, 10:45:02 pm
CAPSY AMANITA

(http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo28/Drillisaur/Vector%20Gallery/Capsy-1.png)

Capsy is a young mashroom born to the noble Amanita family. Early on in life he was taught to read and write in four languages, joust, swordfight, and shoot a gun. The Amanita family saw these as important skills for a young mashroom to know. But on his ninth birthday, Capsy's father and mother were kidnapped by the Rogue Death Caps. Grabbing his sword in one hand, and his gun in the other, Capsy set out to rescue his parents.

After a long journey east to the coast, Capsy found where the Death Caps were keeping his parents. He pulled out his magnum and started gunning down the outlawed mashrooms. As he went farther into the keep, he saw Dr. Amanita, his father. The Doctor pulled out a sword and leaped at his son, knocking the revolver out of his hands. 'Draw your sword, my son!' growled Dr. Amanita. With no idea of what was going on, Capsy drew his sword, and the fight had begun.

Capsy realized he had no chance of winning the swordfight, he dropped his blade, rolled out of the way, and grabbed his gun again. 'Why are you working with the Death Caps!' asked Capsy. 'I wasn't. I let them kidnap me to see if you were strong enough to save me. Clearly you are not, since you're corrupted little mashroom brain has pointed a gun at me. But go ahead if you think you can kill me.' Capsy was confused, but it seemed right to fire a shot at the good doctor's foot. His father jumped up and deflected the bullet with his blade, it embedded itself into Capsy's shoulder. He fell unconscious soon after.

Waking up the next day, Capsy found that he had just been sleeping, it was all a bad dream! He'd been sleeping for almost a week. It didn't help that his father actually did knock him unconscious right before he could wake up at a normal hour. Silly dad!


Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why should I care about a mashroom?
A: Because he can read/write/joust/sword/gun better than you.

Q: What is a mashroom?
A: Like a mushroom, but with an 'a' instead of a 'u'.

Q: How can he do all these things without arms?
A: He has arms, you just can't see them.

I don't get how a mushroom can read.

Why should I care about a mushroom? I don't care to know

So far this is the best character in the contest.
It seems like one of the only ones that wasn't made up in minutes.

Moldrill, please use the appropriate format or else you'll be disqualified. Also you need way more content by the time the deadline hits, which is still TBA, but will be a few days before the whole thing starts.

The whole template thing is pretty gay. My character has artwork and a story. Shouldn't it be up to to the artist to decide what information he wants to put in his character? I'll do it obviously, I don't want to be disqualified. But I think you are making the template too restricting.

That's what misc info is for. The template is aesthetically pleasing and conveys a lot of important information, if you're not gonna stick to it, you're not gonna enter, its that simple.

I added an FAQ and I'll get some new art up of Capsy and the Rogue Death Caps tomorrow. Everything else is N/A.

Walnut, for me, it's not that your template has too little info. It has too much. I have a very simple character with a story and FAQ. I think once I get some more art up everything will be good.

I don't get how a mushroom can read.

Mushrooms can't read. Capsy isn't a mushroom. He's a mashroom.

The whole point of the contest is to judge based on character, not character art. You need to fill out appropriate forms. If you want to show off art, make a topic about your vector art. This isn't the place for it.

What's a mashroom? Looks like a mushroom with a body.

It is a mushroom with a body. It also has a brain, and the capability to read.

see the FAQ. he has hands, you just can't see them.

also, the story may seem cliche right now. but the ending is much more... different. it will be revealed later once the contest has started. :)
