hello, and welcome to skeleton showdown!
this is a competition inspired by the many other polls going around, this one putting skeleton characters up against eachother.
ran by @neon-draws-sometimes
(Submissions are closed! Thanks to everyone who submitted!) submission guide:
-character must be mostly a skeleton, not just skeleton themed (I say mostly skeleton because I think skeletor is part human? Not really familar with the he-man lore lol)
-I am still deciding what to do with utmv characters. I don’t want the competition to be too repetitive but also having a bunch of sanses competing would be funny
-no 18+ media, please!
-I have the right to reject any characters that make me uncomfortable

tired of tournaments where the well-known characters always win?
well guess what? in this tournament, NO ONE knows the contestants! not even me, the one running the show! all we've got is these little one-note descriptions that look like someone was trying to brainstorm some ocs, but stopped after a single trait or trope!
...huh? what's that?
well folks! apparently, even our contestants themselves don't have any more information about themselves! so what do you say we give them a hand with that? after every round of eliminations, a form will open for each remaining contestant where people can suggest an additional trait for them! the top ten suggestions for each will be put into an inter-poll (not interpol, FUCK the police) where our followers can vote on what gets added to who! the further a contestant gets in the tournament, the more developed they will become!
as for the grand prize, for the contestant that grows above all the others, what else would we give them but a name? that's right! the victor of our little nobody tournament will no longer be a nobody!
there are a few ground rules to keep in mind, of course!
these are nobodies! that means they don't have any links to any existing media! don't send in "firebender" as a trait, or it'll just get ignored! instead, try something media-agnostic like "controls fire!"
i don't want to see any trait submissions that have to do with pedophilia, incest, -isms, cults, or a contestant being an abuser.
fanart and interpretations of characters during the course of the contest are more than welcome! you can tag them with "#nobody tournament 2023" and i'll be sure to reblog! do keep in mind of course that other people won't necessarily see the characters the same way you do, and it's possible that future traits might contradict your original headcanons.
all characters generated by this tournament are the collective property of tumblr, and are free for anyone to do anything with as long as it doesn't involve passing them off as your own creations!
right now, we're still gathering the lucky 32 contestants who'll get to be a part of this show! do you know any of them? if so, go right ahead to the dandy little link below to share them with me!
now for a few tags to give us a little boost in publicity! @autismswagsummit @wizardwithglitter @isthatyouhatsunemiku @angerissuescompeticion! unfortunately, i don't know any other tournaments off the top of my head, but i would greatly appreciate this being spread as widely as possible!
a few more tags! @qpr-competition @fashiondisastertournament @stachebracket @ocd-swag-tournament @baldguy-fight
does anyone know if candle cove has any “canon” art? I don’t wanna take random fanart, and I figure since it’s a creepypasta it doenst have any, but if there’s an image usually associated with him that would be appreciated.

you could make an undertaleverse poll instead yknow..
Only four of the competitors are undertale related, and Fresh, while originally being an Utmv character, was reworked into a character for an orginal webcomic, so if you take him off that’s only three.
