Hello, all book characte
Chatterbox: Blab About Books
The character olympics!
Hello, all book characte...
Hello, all book characters! Gather 'round, for I have an interesting proposition. I'm going to do the first character olympics! Anyone can join, big or little, male or female, bipedal, or quadruped! You just have to be from a book! You shall compete in competitions of strength, agility, intelligence, and wit to win! The rules:
1. Only one character per person, please!
2. Only one person per character. In other words, we can't have two people nominating, say, Bellatrix. We also can't have two different characters from one book (or series). So, we can't have one person entering as Firestar, and another as Graystripe. Maybe you should try to nominate characters from lesser-known books to eliminate this.
3. You will write what your character does in each competition. Do not be afraid to make your character do badly. For example, a cat probably could beat a human in a race, but not in a baseball game.
4. Please, when entering your character, provide a short description for those who don't know who they are.
5. Please keep your characters in-character. You can post as them, or you can write in third person, whichever you want more. At least try to make them act as they would in their books.
6. You can make them funny, as long as it does not get ridiculous.
7. Please only enter characters from real books, please!
As soon as enough people join, we shall begin with me posting the competition! If I take too long to post competitions, feel free to make one without me. Let's try for at least five people joining. Please, if you join, you must attend each competition. If you don't, someone else can post as your character after, say, a week without notification.
I may join as well. Let the games... BEGIN!

Can I do Luna Lovegood?
(October 7, 2010 - 2:43 pm)
Sure! You can do anyone you want! No one from Harry Potter has entered yet, so you can do her.

Okay, I'm entering Varjak Paw!
He's a gray cat from the book of the same name, Varjak Paw, and it's sequel, The Outlaw Varjak Paw. I think that he has blue eyes, I'll look it up later.
He originally was a housecat, but he ran away to find a dog to save his family from an evil gentleman.
He knows some cool cat kung-fu things. His famous ancestor, Jalal, taught them to him in dreams. Some of them are...
Shadow walking: He can dissappear into the shadows, invisible.
Moving Circles: He can move in a way that prevents him from getting hurt from attacks, and he can unleash a very powerful attack.
Slow time: He can slow time in relation to himself, causing him to move very fast.
(I think that there are seven skills)

I'm going to enter as Emily Windsnap, from The Tail of Emly Windsnap. (Hee-hee... she can change into a mermaid if we had swimming competitions! :D)
(October 10, 2010 - 4:42 pm)
Hey, I forgot to make my description for my character, or "me."
(Now I'm Emily.)
I'm Emily Windsnap. When I enter the water my legs turn into a tail, and I can swim better. I live on a boat called the King of the Sea that, even though it is docked in water, never goes off the pier. I'm 12 (it didn't say my age in the book but she's in seventh grade), and my best friend is another mermaid, Shona. The author of my book is Liz Kessler. I hope there are swimming competitions!
(October 10, 2010 - 4:45 pm)
Welcome Emily! I'm not sure how well I would do in swimming competitions, seeing as how I'm a cat...

Are you allowed to be a character from a poem instead of a story, as long as it's written down in a book? Please?!
If so, I can't wait for this... *grins*
(October 16, 2010 - 11:43 pm)
Sure! This will be interesting. *evilly rubs paws together*

Hmm. . . can I be Larka or Fell from THE SIGHT?
(October 18, 2010 - 1:02 pm)
I'm not the only person who has read that? A-mazing! Of course you can be one or the other! =)
(October 20, 2010 - 2:41 pm)
I've read it, too! It's really good! Maybe I'll make a thread on it...
You still haven't answered my question, though...

Hey, I would LOVE to enter as Percy Jackson.
Name: Percy
Hair: Black
Eye: Sea Green
Other: Skinny, tan
Skills: Sword fighting, staying alive
Is that one good?
(October 20, 2010 - 7:32 pm)
I think you can Ima... But Check with Dawnpaw first.

I would like to enter as Moon from Alabama Moon. Moon is ten years old with long hair (for a boy). He's filthy and smelly, but could survive anywhere under any condition. He has lived in the forest all his life with his pap, who recently died. He can also make just about anything, escape from just about anywhere (except for jail) and whip up on just about anyone. He'd be willing to gather food for all the competitors.

Can I be Percy?
