Hi! Has Otacon from Metal Gear Solid gotten submissions? :33

[nichejewishcharactershowdown]

Either actually! Both apply here!

[nichejewishcharactershowdown]

hi! has Rachel from Animorphs been submitted yet? I submitted Jake Berenson and don't know if she has already been nominated!

Nope she hasn't yet!

Would you consider Mel Brooks characters with Jewish names who have been frequently played by Jewish actors to be canonically Jewish, even if their Jewishness is never directly addressed? (I'll just be up front - I'm asking about the lead characters in The Producers)

Okay I was consulting my council (my dad) AND he says yes they do qualify, and since you noted those characters yes those two do qualify BECAUSE of the clear authorial intent there

The Niche Jewish Characters Showdown!

Do you like Jewish Guys, as in having a favorite Jewish character? Have they been too lesser known to last long in the Jewish Tourneys? Maybe they got pitted against a popular one and lost real bad? WELL FEAR NOT! I have the perfect Showdown for you right here! Nominate your Niche Jewish Faves!

A few rules before we begin though!

Only Fictional Characters Allowed!

Canonical Jews only! This is for the niche canon ones!

No marvel or dc bc they are as a whole too popular for this, as much as they are canonical jews and love that for them. odds are TOO HIGH of them sweeping and i want them not in there

They have to either be a character niche in their own property, make you go "oh THEYRE Jewish????" as in if you only saw small early on snippets you wouldnt know aka its not something talked abt a lot and you find out and it makes you go "OH????", OR they have to be from a niche property themselves

Only submit a character once! Please no cheating, I am going to do my best to include as many as I can

That being said odds are I’ll only include up to 64 characters at most!

Those being said I am going to limit it to 2-3 sets from one source

Any harassment or vitriol will be met with a a soft block for 24 hours before a permanent one if it continues and repeated vitriol towards an opponent will be liable to disqualification or being forced onto a team with their opponent.

This is silly little tumblr poll do NOT take this too seriously! It's all for fun!

There will be an automatically getting in but I am not going to say who he is because I would like to see if he ends up getting nominations!

You have until April 18th to Nominate!

Now you can nominate your faves HERE!

Good luck!
