Darkner Contest? (kinda?)
YO! Currently writing more chapters of The Puppet and the Real Boy (go read it if you haven't!)! Currently some of the stuff I'm writing requires coming up with some brand new Darkners based on some random stuff left in the attic of Papyrus and Mettaton's house. Half of it's gonna be some random fashion stuff and I have a few ideas, but I want your guy's help too! More under the cut for those interested.
Basically I need suggestions and ideas for what becomes and Darkner and how it becomes one! Some ideas I've already had is some spools of ribbon that become snakes and multiply when cut in half and a feathery boa bird! (I know I coulda done a feather boa boa constrictor, but I don't want too many snakes, maybe it can be a little more like a wyrm ig?) I'm also workshopping the idea of a few accessories coming together to become Darkners too. (ie, some belts, boots, a hat and a feathery boa becoming a cowboy with belt whips/lassos with a boa bird who can attack for them). Not all of these Darkners need to be more prominent or important ones like Queen, King, Rouxls, or even like shopkeepers and secret bosses like Seam, Swatch, Jevil or Spamton. In fact, I want them to be more like the NPC enemies you mostly just battle, like the Ruddins, Jiggsawrys, Bloxers, Plugboys, Swatchlings, Tasques, etc.
So then how do you enter this? Well! Just leave a submission to my blog! Here's the information I need.
Object your Darkner NPC is based on. Remember, since I want these to be NPCs, there needs to be multiple of them. As well, they object their based on needs to be found in an attic. Specifically, Papyrus and Mettaton's attic. I'm looking for a lot of fashion and clothing based Darkners.
A description and/or a picture or how that object if Darkner-ified. This is a written story, but I still need some sort of idea/visualization as to how that object is Darkner-ified. How is the concept of the object they're based on carried over? Can they talk like Swatchlings, or are they more animal-like like Tasques? That sort of stuff.
General sort of idea of what they'd be like in battle. What are they're attacks? How do they interact with other Darkners on the same team as them? What ACTs can the Lightners us against them and which ACTs spare them? Etc.
This one's technically optional, but do you have a name for them? Either a name for the type of Darkner they are (like how all the Ruddins or Swatchlings, though there are multiple of them, are only known as Ruddin or Swatchling) or if they're a more individual Darkner (which you're still allowed to submit), what's their name?
Finally, what's they're sorta personality? This can also go with the description, but also I mostly need to know if they're part of the attic Darkners who are causing problems in the story. I imagine most of them will be, (especially the NPC groups) but not all the attic Darkners are causing issues. If you decide to go the more individual Darkner route, those seem like the ones that are going to cause less problems for Chicago and the crew in the story.
Another thing I should mention, I have a plan for Mettaton's old Neo suit parts. We already know thanks to the Spamton NEO stuff in Chapter 2, that (at least a drawing of) the suit, became a mech-like machine. In Ish however, the suit isn't just a drawing, and the real parts of the suit are in attic. My only issue is, I'm not sure if I want Spamton to be the one in that gigantic mech this time. (This story is about the poor puppet man learning to heal and move on.) I still need someone controlling (or maybe being controlled by) that suit. So if you so desire, you can also come up with an attic Darkner that fills that role. I'd likely just contact me for further details.
I'm not sure how many people I'll be choosing as winners (depends on how many people enter) but anyone is free to enter and give me or ideas, and those I do pick, will get to feature in my story. (Once this part comes out.) You can enter as many submissions as you want (mostly because I'm desperate for ideas) and, as long as your ideas fit, I have no limit on how many entries per person I use. (Though that may change if I get more entries that I'm anticipating I get, which is honestly very little.)
While I want to just allow submissions for until it's time for the chapters I have this planned for to release, I should set an actual submission deadline. Let's go for April 15th. That gives me a few weeks until Chapter 23 is scheduled to release based on the system I already have.
Anyways, thanks for your time and I look forwards to your submissions Creative Creators!
Also remember to vote on my Addison Name polls until the end of the week! There's 4 days left and I would love a bigger sample size! (Especially on the ones other than the Pink one)
