STORY:The story takes place in a futuristic world where both magic and technology exist. Even though most mages hate technology and most scientists hate magic, a scientist and a mage have worked together and found a way to fuse both magic and technology, creating a breakthrough which could change their world. The news of this breakthrough have leaked, but no-one knows what this breakthrough actually is. A self-perpetual energy source? A secret to eternal life? A powerful bio-weapon? Machines capable of casting mystical spells? Nobody knows. But everyone is trying to get it, for one reason or another. Realizing what could happen if their discovery fell into the wrong hands, scientist and mage went into hiding, taking all their research and their project with them. It was later found out that they are posing as professors in university in which they have set up a hidden lab. And so, many factions have sent their people to get this discovery before anyone else does.
Contestants can make up an organization their OC will work for or their OCs could try to get the discovery for themselves. Contestants are also encouraged to work together and make an organization they'll be part of (which should eliminate too many lone-agent groups, we hope).
BASIC RULES:First, you need to download the psd (or the png if you don't have photoshop) "Character Sheet Design" file here:
Snafu.psdSnafu_paint.pngThen put an image of your character in the layer called "O.C." replacing the image there. After that put your character's name and race in appropriate text layers. After that export/save the image in jpg/png/gif (whichever you prefer) and upload it to imageshack/photobucket (or any other image hosting site). All that's left is to post your OCs reference sheet and his profile. OCs profile should contain the following:
Name:
Race:
Gender:
Age:
Organization:
Motive:
Personality:
Biography:
Weapons:
Abilities/Powers:
After submitting their OCs, contestants have to make a short "audition" comic which will introduce their character. After the auditions are over, contestants will be pared against each other. Each round contestants will draw few pages in which their OC should be seen defeating the OC of their opponent. The author of the entry that judges find better will advance into the next round, with his story accepted as the actual OCT storyline. Entries will be judged for both their visuals and their story.

O.C.T. LADDER:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your OCs are looking for a lab hidden in an ordinary university. That means it's in the middle of the city. There are even students and teachers roaming around. Entering the place is easy, your OCs can just walk in. The hard part is finding the hidden lab entrance(s). The entrance can be a hidden door opened by pulling a hidden switch or pressing a hidden button. However, it can also be a door made to look like a wall by illusionary magic. Any technological/magical puzzle. Also, there are several hidden rooms/labs. Your OCs probably won't be able to find the main lab and the scientist and mage right away. These hidden rooms/labs can be protected by technological or magical traps/security devices, but they can also have no protection at all (that would mean your OC just found a low-priority side-lab). Apart from finding the hidden lab entrance, OCs have to keep a low profile, because they can't tell for sure who's just an innocent by-stander and who's an agent/mercenary looking for the breakthrough. Most fights should occur inside one of those hidden rooms/labs, 'cause civilians can't be found inside those. Whoever's inside is either assistant of the mage/scientist or an agent/mercenary who have found a way in. However, fights don't HAVE to occur inside labs, but they should either be covered-up or fought in places where no-one is likely to see them.

Scientist is a light-brown-haired male with glasses wearing white lab-coat. Mage is a long-haired female with light yellow hair (almost white) wearing black clothes and dark brown gloves.
Mage's name is Carla and scientist's is Jones. Carla's an expert at alteration and good at conjuration, but also posseses some knowledge of other schools of magic, though not as great as those 2. Jones uses the mechanical arms that you can see on the sketch, which are controlled by reading his brain-waves (through a small "reader" at the back of his head). Both Carla and Jones are serious-looking and would fight anyone who would try to steal their lifes' work. They were actually trying to make people's lives better with their work, but later realized that it could be dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands, so they went into hiding into the "University of Used Utilization".
