Mystery Character Bracket

Season 3 is here!

[mysterycharacterbracket]

Season 3 Format

Returning voters, this will look a little different than the previous tournaments. But also, a little similar.

Rules this season

I think the easiest way to explain this is round by round:

Round 1: all 25 characters will be randomly seeded in 5 polls of 5. The top 2 from each poll, as well as the top 6 wild cards across all polls, will move on to the winners bracket for a total of 16. The other 9 will go to the losers bracket.

If we need any tiebreakers, they will happen here.

Round L1: the other 9 players who did not make the winners bracket will compete in 3 polls of 3.

Round L2: the 3 losers of L1 will compete in a single poll. The loser of that poll will take 25th place.

Round W1: the 16 players in the winners bracket will be randomly seeded and compete in 8 matchups. The winners will move on, the losers will each randomly match up with one of the 8 players left in the losers bracket.

After that, we will alternate using this pattern:

Losers Bracket round matching up the winners of the last losers bracket round vs the losers of the last winners bracket round

Losers Bracket round matching up the winners of the last losers bracket round

Winners bracket round matching up the winners of the last winners bracket round

Once a player loses in the losers bracket, they will be eliminated and revealed.

Season 3, Round W1, Poll #3

Continuing:

Character 20: He’s made up of approximately 90% scar tissue. He’s an orphan and it’s not even a major plot point because his life is just that awful. He was fated and manipulated from the beginning to start the apocalypse and end the world. He spends an entire season going into a downward paranoia spiral and that’s not even his lowest point. He’s like the embodiment of a sad pathetic cat. His closest friends in the world are a woman who tried to kill him and his ex girlfriend. He ends up starting the apocalypse and basically becoming the antichrist and through it all he still cares about people. He thinks he’s a selfish monster while actively risking his life time and time again for people who don’t particularly like him. He’s kidnapped multiple times like a damsel in distress. He’s even canonically asexual, what more could you possibly want?

Character 11: He’s got parental issues, he died twice, he went to high security prison, and he has a weird homosexual obsession with his former friend and roommate. He got his crush to electrocute him to death because he wanted to get superpowers. He insists that he’s cold and unfeeling and at the same time picks up an injured child off the road and takes her in. his favourite hobby is vandalising books to make blackout poetry. He’s canonically asexual. He’s like a smug cat if a smug cat could fire a gun and had a body count in the dozens

Season 3, Round W1, Poll #1

This is the start of our winners bracket!

Remember, the winners of this round will go on in the winners bracket. The losers from this round will each battle one of the eight winners from the losers bracket.

Character 22: He's just a little guy who keeps getting enslaved and tortured against his will by upstart teenagers.

Character 13: All he wants is to help people and make his dad proud. He literally invents hot water systems and a new element, as well as multiple compounds used for fuel. One of his inventions leaves his father indisposed and himself basically orphaned, and he spends the latter half of a season going in a downward spiral trying to save him. He commits multiple war crimes and treason all because he wants to save his dad. He managed to build an entire robot army on his own, reverse engineered a truth potion, and took out an entire army. He’s got so many daddy issues. He has an edgy coloured hair streak and funky goggles. Even before he’s redeemed, he shows that he doesn’t want anyone to get hurt and immediately switches sides when he realises people will be killed. He’s self sacrificial and reckless and does his best to stop others from going down the same path he did. His best friend is a raccoon. He has an entire song (which is a banger) just about wanting to prove himself to his dad. He keeps almost falling to his death. He has a cool steampunk look and the saddest most pathetic eyes. He could be described as one of those sad wet shelter cats who you can’t help but fall in love with

Season 3, Round L2

There's no poll number for this one because there's only one poll this round. As a reminder, the two winners of this poll will stay in the losers bracket, while the loser will take last place in the whole tournament.

Character 24: Second-youngest of four siblings and the only one not currently living in Florida. A martial artist that has held three different championships in his sport, including one specifically for lightweight/agile competitors that he held for over 200 days in-universe. Was recently written off the show with a broken knee but is planned to return very soon. A stoner. A spraypaint artist. Shared a scene with Teddy Swims at one point.

Character 10: Got brought to life by the magic of friendship. Has a musical number about how much everyone loves this character. Got minimized for not being made of wool and buttons. The conditions in which they were would make this character disappear and every other character was too stupid to realize this. Gets sent to live far away for survival. (NOTE: Two characters were submitted with the same description. This is the randomly selected second one.)

Character 15: DILF with a troubled past. He committed horrible atrocities against his fellow man, his family, and his planet, and now strives to make the world a better place for everyone one step at a time. He moves forward not to redeem himself but to save those he cares about and their futures, as well as to honor the dead. No one makes me cry and make me believe that every one can better themselves day by day like he does.

Who should not be eliminated?

Character 2: Last member of his species. Got kidnaped and almost decapitated. Canonically has no eyes yet somehow can see. Uses a sand clock as a wristwatch. Chronic workaholic. Gets no respect. Producer of a news channel (does all the work). Pretended to be the yeti (is ashamed of it). Got into a jack and the beanstalk plot (the seeds were not magic, god himself made them grow). Got turned to stone and got turned back by singing. Without him, everything falls apart. All the parties are in his house. Got randomly found as an infant in the forest by two of his co-workers (he could only say his name). Didn't know what vacations were. Very adorable.

Character 14: Orphan boy. Very excitable and gullible. Perpetually hungry. Always craving a ham sandwich. Actually goes to school (isn't very good at it). Freezes when afraid (actually goes rigid). Visits bodily harm upon a landlord frequently. 8 year old played by a 60 year old man. Very popular.

Continuing our winners bracket!

Character 3: She’s got mommy issues, abandonment issues, all the issues in the book. Her mom disappeared and was assumed dead, and she spent a good chunk of her life avoiding the press about it. Then mom comes back and she proceeds to go into a spiral assuming that her mom is up to something nefarious. Her defense mechanism for avoiding being hurt is to insult people. She’s quite possibly the funniest person alive. She committed identity fraud among multiple other crimes, all in the name of catching her mom in the act of lying. By the end of the story she has daddy issues as well. She’s got all the problems and will fight god about it

Character 17: Not fire, is stick.
