Inconsistent Characterization Comp.

Judging Criteria

This was copied from the submission/judging rules (that's why the numbers are bad)

0. Standard tournament rules: be polite, et cetera.

1. Inconsistent characterization must be present past the first part- no Early Installment Weirdness.

4. Liberty is reserved to add more rules

5. Inconsistency must be in canon, not fandom misinterpreting. That's a separate thing.

6. Character development is not inconsistency.

7. Do not do a Squimbus v. Pikachu; don't vote for one character that doesn't really fit it over a character you don't know.

Match links below the cut. The winner of Quat A will face off against Quat B; same for C and D. The winner of Oct 1 will face off against Oct 2 for that Quat.

The bracket is out! I'll make it nice and yummy and visible later, but. Have a bunch of people!

NOTE: I do not necessarily endorse any of these claims of inconsistent characterization.

Feel free to start submitting extra spicy propaganda, though polls won't start till...whenever I set them up.

[inconsistentcharacterizationcomp]

Submissions have pretty much ground to a halt, so I’ll close the box June 1.

last week to get your blorbos in! + I’ll be vaguely sorting through them to organize a bracket

Characters whose own canon mischaracterizes them, resulting in a much more convoluted canon that often contradicts? @inconsistentcharacterizationcomp finds the most inconsistently characterized character in all of fiction.

Sometimes, what's in-character gets contradicted by canonical actions. Again, and again. This results in inconsistent characterization- from Canon!

Submission and Judging Rules:

0. Standard tournament rules: only submit each character once, be polite, et cetera.

Inconsistent characterization must be present past the first part- no Early Installment Weirdness.

No real people- which means no MCYT, characters from biopics, so on.

No OCs.

Liberty is reserved to add on more rules.

Inconsistency must be in canon, not fandom misinterpreting. That's a separate thing.

Submissions will close June 1.

Inconsistent Characterization Comp.

For finding the character most mischaracterized in their own canon. Use title case and proper spelling.
