"The name Cole translates to "swarthy, coal black" and yes his mother absolutely named him that as a pun on Coal because he's the Elemental Master of Earth and can control it. He got turned into a ghost for a while but was fine after (had a scar that was a rift to the afterlife on his face for a bit that still appears when he turns his arms into lava), has two nickels for every time he fell from an absurdly large height that should have killed him, uses a scythe (and now a hammer), loves cake, ran away from dance school to climb mountains in his grief (then became a ninja), came out to his dad as a ninja in the most LGBTQSIA+ coded scene ever, and is overall a super funky guy"

And that's it for the prelims for now.

Each poll winner will get their place in the bracket.

I changed my mind about how to determine the last contestants. We'll have a last poll with the 10 non-winners with the most votes (numbers of votes, not percentage) and we'll keep the ones with the most votes among those

I'm a bit braindead at the moment so if you need clarification, just ask away, I'll answer when I'll feel more clearminded

About the pics in the polls :

- I usually don't use fanwork for prelims, since I need to ask fanartists' agreement first and I'd rather only do that for characters making it past prelims at the very least

- I credit artists. I'm not knowingly using uncredited fanart so please let me know if I messed up on that count

Yuki Haku a.k.a Baku (Naruto) :

"Haku means white in Japanese. His last name Yuki means snow. Japanese names are usually in the order of at first the last name then the given name. So his name is literally Yuki Haku, snow white.

Haku was born in a snowy village in the Land of Water.

Growing up as an orphan from the land of water, Haku was a descendant of the Yuki (snow) clan and later became a shinobi and then became a mercenary ninja.

Haku’s mask was a White Nin Hunter Mask that he usually wears during battles or while on a mission (maybe to hide is identity). He had a beautiful face that tricked most into believing he was a girl—and more than that, it hid the true power that he held in his devastating ice-based abilities. Haku is canonically indeterminate gender. (In translations he/him pronouns are used.)

3rd person pov about Haku: "He was a pure spirit – as true and clean as a newly fallen snow."

Quotes from Haku:

"Do you have anyone special in your life?"

“When people are protecting something truly precious to them. They truly can become…as strong as they need to be!”

"I'm willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill that person's dream. Doing so is my own dream."

He really manages to leave a long lasting impression.

"Can you understand? Not having a dream… not being needed by anyone… The pain of merely being alive."

In the end Haku gave his life for that person, and died without any of his dreams coming true.

His story is so tragic 😿 it made me cry reading it."

"The character for 'Ku' (紅) in Kuro's first name means 'crimson' "

Skie Blue/Sorano Aoi (Inazuma Eleven) :

"Skie Blue, her dub name is pretty obvious but also her jp name (Sorano Aoi, 空野 葵) references the color motif. It is derived by 空の青い, which is read as "Sora no Aoi" that means "blue sky". She is overall blue coded and also part of the anime's manager trio, who all have color derived names. "

Yasuhisa Kurona and Nashiro (Tokyo Ghoul) :

"Their names come from Black and White respectively. "

Violet/Lee Chaolan (Tekken) :

"So Violet is not Lee Chaolan's real name but it's an alter ego that he created and lived as for like 20 years, and although they're the same guy he has his own slot separate from Lee in some games and is the protagonist of some of the side stories like in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. He used this identity to set up a robotics company called Violet Systems while staying off the radar of his abusive family and then entered a fighting contest that he was kinda banned from because he got kicked out of said family who were running the contest. He's kind of a dick tbh but I like his lore and think he's interesting and I especially like him as Violet because the fit is fire especially in Tag 2 and I like his extravagance and the fact that he likes robots and wants to create a world where robots do all the work for everyone."

Redmond, Blutarch, Gray, and Olivia Mann (Team Fortress 2) :

"worst fuckign people on the planet (lighthearted). literally the entire reason the game exists

(well thats rather redmond and blutarch's fault that we have tf2 as the game we know. gray on the other hand is the reason for the game's pve gamemode mann vs machine and, to an extension, the official version of vs saxton hale. olivia hasn't done anything in the game as of yet but she does kinda kickstart the storyline of the webcomics)"

Sango (Inuyasha) :

"Sango is Japanese for coral, and the anime gives her guards a coral color."

Ty Betteridge a.k.a Yellow (WOE.BEGONE) :

"Okay so he's one of many iterations of a character named Ty Betteridge and outside of his workplace they all refer to him as Ty Betteridge but inside the workplace he's mainly known as Yellow. Since we basically only see him at work I think he deserves it. He works in the Euthanasia department at his job which sounds normal until you realize that said job is at the Unethical Human Medical Experiment Facility. His job involves killing hundreds of iterations of the same two guys, Edgar and Mike. He's very dry about it; quote:

"I haven't had to kill anyone *today,* but it's not even noon yet."

He also sounds a bit petulant and annoyed with the guys he had to kill. He has a silly little British accent and calls them ingrates and that sort of thing. I love him."

Red Boy a.k.a Boy Sage Great King and Dragon Boy Skilled in Wealth (The Journey to the West) :

"In Chinese, his name is 红孩儿 (Hong Hai-er), which I'm pretty sure just means "red child", but "red boy" is the usual translation."

"Literally Aunt Green, Aunt Brown, Aunt Lilac and Uncle Blue in Swedish. Their outfits' color match their names"

Bai Wuchang a.k.a Wu Xi (Qi Ye/Lord Seventh) :

"Bai" in his name is 白, "white". Though he is only Bai Wuchang in the first chapter, and then we mostly get to know him as his reincarnated self Wu Xi, he does do something v important to the plot in that one chapter, and him having been Bai Wuchang also comes up later."
