a fight to the death over the best life series skin

[life-series-skin-bracket]

WELCOME TO THE LIFE SERIES SKIN BRACKET!

Here, we will be determining which life series skin is the best of them all!

(This opinion is, of course, subjective. This is all in good fun, and not supposed to seriously judge the skins. They're all super cool!)

The tournament will be done in a "round robin" style, meaning each lifer will go through a bracket for all of their life series skins. The skin that wins will go into a different bracket, and once all skins have been determined and that bracket is full, the fight between the different lifers will begin! The lifers will be done in alphabetical order, and some brackets may be much shorter than others due to having less skins.

Each poll will last 3 days, until the final face off, in which case each poll will last a week. Polls for each round will be posted every 1-2 days. I will not post on weekends.

Submit a skin and why you think it should win here, or in the ask box; or expand this post to see the different brackets.

(Please note that ALL skins will be used. You are not submitting skins to compete, but evidence of why skins should win. This could be anything from a paragraph describing the symbolism and meaning behind every detail, to a simple "I like the colors :)". Both are equally acceptable.)

Previous: Etho | Currently polling: Gem | Up next: Scar

Brackets that will not be added (due to a lack of skins): Etho, TangoTek, Mumbo. I will still make a poll, either because they have at least two skins or for the sake of comedy, but there will be no bracket displayed like the others.

There were enough people who said they'd be ok without the Christmas skins that I'm not going to include them. The main reason being that in order to do them, I'd have to entirely restructure the majority of the brackets. However, would you guys want to do a separate brackets for just the Christmas skins instead?

Also- I'll be pausing the normal poll posting until January. I'll keep up the Christmas skins if you guys wanna do those, though.

Option one: A version of Gem's normal skin. She wears her usual mint green shirt, blue jean overalls with rips in the legs, and white sneakers that have the bi colors along the side. On the back right leg of her jeans are three hearts (green, yellow, and red), and on the back/side of her left leg is a target. Her hair cascades down her right shoulder in a braid. On the front of her overalls is a dark green heart, and rather than her usual mint green hairties and yellow flower, she sports a dark green headband.

Option two: A version of Gem's normal skin. She wears her usual blue jean overalls with rips in the legs and white sneakers that have the bi colors along the side. On the front of her overalls is a yellow green heart, her hairties are yellow, as well as her flower which has a desaturated middle. Her hair cascades down her right shoulder in a braid. She wears a long-sleeved yellow shirt, and her right eye is yellow while her left eye is missing.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. It was thanksgiving, and then I got sick, and in general I've been having a bit of trouble compiling the polls. I think a big part of that is the descriptions. So for now, I'm going to cut them out (especially since Scar is next, and he has a ridiculous amount of skins).

If anyone would like to volunteer to write the descriptions for skins, I would not be opposed to that; however, right now I cannot do it myself.

Also, I probably will not be including the christmas skins, unless everyone really wants them, so let me know whether you desperately need them in the polls or are ok without them.

[life-series-skin-bracket]

Do you need the Christmas skins?

YES!!! WE NEED TO INCLUDE THEM!!!

It's alright, we can deal without them

Option one: skin by @mistycle. BigB sporting a light blue sweater with a cookie embroidered on the right side and a white undershirt. He also wears blue-gray jeans with front pockets and black slides. He has sunglasses over his eyes, and black dog ears on his head.

Option two: Skin by @roserinisaway. BigB-Creaking hybrid. BigB-Creaking hybrid. A grayscale version of his skin that has the bark of pale wood crawling up his right arm and onto the right side of his face, with many yellow eyes fixed into the wood, along with olive green leaves. His own, real eyes, are the same glowing yellow, with a creaking heart glowing from underneath white, visible ribs. The bottom of his legs fade white upwards, showing that he is sort of "fading away," or becoming a ghost (since BigB called himself "the ghost of the pale garden").
