Showdown of boys who are failures (and made by you)

Is YOUR oc a total failure and something of a boy. Then submit them to this very cool very professional bracket

[failboy-oc-tournament]

Failboy OC Showdown Hell Yeah

Do YOU have an oc who’s a failure? Maybe also a boy? Then submit em to this very cool tournament!!!

Nominations are now closed!

Rules:

1. OC’s only please! Fandom OC’s are fine but no already existing characters (unless they’re from media you made)

2. They don’t have to be a boy in the traditional sense but they should fit the label “failboy” somehow. It doesn’t really matter how, just justify it to me in the form and I’ll probably understand

3. Make sure you’re able to submit whatever image you’re submitting, and please credit the artist/picrew if you didn’t make the image!

4. Please only submit one OC per person! No duos/groups either

5. Have fun 👍

Inspired mostly by @original-character-championship @homemadegirlbossbattle @originalcharactersexyman and @group-oc-tournament

ROUND 2 / SIDE B / POLL 7

Poppy (@stobotnik) vs. Bianka Andromeda (@axolotlfied)

Poppy info:

Description: Octoling MILF who traversed the deepsea metro and all she got out of it was this loser robot husband. You can't spell 'unethical cephalopod experimentation' without all the letters of cute!

Crimes: Assisted Cdr. Tartar in omnicide, world domination, brainwashing, and eugenics. Allowed her daughter to destroy a world monument to also take over the world and assists them in their drug ring. Stole a cadaver to revive a rogue AI and allow it to continue living. Scrolls Pinterest on the clock at Grizzco while her co-workers get their shit rocked by flyfish.

Other notes from the submitter: Autism be damned my girl can work industrial machinery

Bianka Andromeda info:

Description: Bianka is a martian girl with a Napoleon complex and an intense hatred for everyone and everything with very few exceptions. She's a hacker for hire turned mercenary living in the slums of an alien planet with nobody to depend on but herself. She cares a lot about her appearance and has a passion for old earth tech (and anime, but she'd never admit it)

Crimes: Cryptocurrency related scamming, hacking related cybercrimes, lots of murders including her ex, a few more attempted murders, being a huge bitch to literally everyone including her non murdered exes and the only dude who actually likes her, various kinds of fraud

Other notes from the submitter: She's from my comic Exofall. Also despite martians in this universe being bug people with no real genders she realized she identified as a woman and considers herself trans

WHO WINS?

Poppy

Bianka Andromeda

Final Results!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated, the tournament is over!!!

Congratulations to Addison "Addie" King, created by @sporesgalaxy, for winning the tournament! In the final round, he beat Trajothaddues Captio with 70.6% to 29.4% of votes!

[failboy-oc-tournament]

Failboy Finals: Trajothaddeus Captio (@bonetrousled) vs Addison "Addie" King (@sporesgalaxy)

Trajothaddeus Captio (He/him):

Why is he a failboy? Nepotism baby that was disowned by his father. Tells everyone that he's drowning in cash- he is not. Has no idea how to take care of himself. Has fake influencer courses and phishing emails that he uses to get peoples' money. SO fucking full of himself but cannot do anything successfully and has the bodily strength of a single sickly bird. Minor events kick the shit out of him daily and he's mean about it to everyone and then he goes up to his room and cries

Why should he win? Traj possesses one of the most integral but most overlooked features of a failboy: being unpleasant and kind of an asshole

Other info: hes an ANTBOY also. double points for being an Ant (small creature)

Addison "Addie" King (He/him):

Why is he a failboy? He used to be a depressed salaryman with no friends. Then he threw away his humanity and any remains of a conscience to become a semi-immortal wife guy with snake powers and no friends. His wife is an inhuman force of eldritch power that exista only to infinitely consume, and it is unclear if it is capable of loving him back. He doesn't care. He generally doesn't care about anything but his wife. He especially does not care about the wellbeing of himself and others, because those things are so small and inconsequential compared to his wife. This is why he's trying very hard to cause the snake rapture (the snake is his wife). He eats jewlery. He eats books. He eats people. So basically this boy has failed at being a decent human being, and worse, is failing to care enough to even try and fix it!!! CRINGE!!!

Why should he win? He should win because it will prove that no matter how much a boy may fail due to honestly struggling…the ULTIMATE failboy boyfailure is a boy who DOES NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY TRY TO BETTER HIMSELF!!!

Other info: He is one of exactly 2 oc's I have ever drawn risqué art of. I once described him as an "anime body pillow type of guy." He also doesn't really have a full story he's designed to be a part of. I think this makes him an evil pinup boy?

The Final Decision: Trajothaddeus Captio or Addie King?
