Be in a game! And other prizes too...

[Renegade]

We have decided to offer one person the chance to be in a new Flash game as a minor character. The winner of this contest will be drawn by the exceptionally talented artist CopperTopper (not her real name... ), with the design included in a small role within the game. The winner will also receive a physical print of the artwork. All entrants will be given a claim code for an award on the CMSBox demo arcade.

To enter, you need to reply to this thread with a brief description of yourself. Make it interesting, but not unrealistic. At the very least you need to include your first name [you can make up a name if you prefer, but we will not accept screennames like emoxguy123] and some information about your appearance. However, if you tell us a story about weird traits, secret identities, or anything else interesting, you're more likely to be picked.

Guest posting is currently enabled, but if you choose not to register for a forum account, you will need to include your email address in your post.

We will select the best 5 entries and request photographs from those 5 people. If you are one of thse 5, you will need to be able to submit a photo of yourself which meets 3 criteria - please do not enter if for some reason you will not be able to submit a photo.
1/ the photo must match your description of yourself. If you've told us you're William the Gun Wielding Ninja, we expect to see you dreessed as a ninja and carrying a gun.
2/ The photo must be a full body shot. Since it will be the only basis for the artwork to be based off, photos taken at weird angles, or just showing your face and shoulders, will not be usable.
3/ You must be holding something with "CMSBox" written on it. This is to make sure the picture is really of you.

The winner will also need to be able to provide a shipping address for the print, or else will forfeit that part of the prize. We will ship to a PO box or a friend's address if this is preferred, and the address will not be held on file once the winner confirms receipt of the item.

You do not need to submit a photo or a mailing address unless you are selected to do so.

Need a bit of convincing? Here's one of the characters already created for the game:

[CheatRZ]

Firstly, I have to say that judging from the image above, coppertopper is very talented. Kudos to you for that

My name is Ricky, but also go by the nicknames of 'ziggs', 'CheatRZ', and 'Zyvo' just to name a few.

Apperence wise, I'm going to be 22 in a few days, about 5'7" for height, and weigh about 135lbs. I have medium-long dark hair, and deep blue eyes. Clothing wise, in the photo I would be able to send has me wearing a AC/DC hoodie, dark blue jeans, as well as a dark blue top hat. Some 'special features' in appearance would be a couple of scars on my face: I have a scar in my right eyebrow that's visable as well as a scar under my bottom lip. The scar in the eyebrow was from a coffee cup getting thrown at my head when I was about 6 years old, the scar in my lip was from my teeth going through it because of a little bike accident around the age of 6 as well.

I hope these were the types of details you were looking for, nice contest idea though

[ZeKe.]

My name is Zack Herman.

I am 15 years old, I am about 5'5 tall and weigh a wopping 110 pounds. I have long shaggy blond hair and blue eyes.

To describe my personality, I am a bit on the wild side a lot of the times. I tend to do things I shouldn't do but are funny anyway because I like giving everyone including myself a good laugh. I honestly don't care all that much of what people think of me, I always try to do and wear things that I like, but if others don't like it then thats there problem :-). People may look at me and think I am very inconsiderate and rude by the way I act, but truly I can be one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

I have many stories I could tell you but one interesting story I have is that I was fishing with a few friends and I decided it would be funny if I caught a fish (no matter what size) and bit the head off of it without telling them that I was going to do it. So I ended up catching a fish that was a decent size and went for it. Didn't taste that well, but after... it was pretty funny. But the grossness still remained :-P

[cat0ii]

Nice contest, and nice artwork!

My name is Cathy, about my appearance. I have quite a strange face. My eyes and lips are quite big, oh, and I always have blushy[if that is the word] cheeks. I have curly dirty blonde colored hair that just never goes right how I want it. About 5'6 and weigh 105 pounds, yet dieting.

The first thing that you willl notice, when you see me regularly, is that I always wear T's with short sleeves or with straps. And that they are always very low in the cleavage-area.
My friends, thinking their being cool, have started calling me [word.for.a.woman.who.gets.paid.for.uhh.sexual.things.]

And now a funny story?
I have this habit, I'm saying 'bad words' all the time, in every sentence that I use;
I once called my mom, to ask if I could sleep over at a friend's place. She didn't pick up the phone, so I like said; why the -peep- is that -peep-ing -peep- not picking up the -peep-ing phone? Yeah she already picked up. I was grounded for 2 weeks.

Just wanted to remind those who posted as a guest of the above rule.

My name is Valerie, and I'm 25 years old and 5'7" with blond hair and blue or green eyes, depending on my mood. IRL, I am a teacher and love my job (most of the time!). I have 2 dachshund children who keep me sane. I enjoy cooking, reading, writing, making jewelry, and playing online games and riddles (especially Renegade games ). I spend a lot of my free time on the Gamershood forum, where I have something of a (dun dun dun) secret identity!

On Gamershood Planet, I take on the personality of my dachshund daughter, Tib, and am known as Crimsonthread. When there, I love chasing balls, gobbling treats, and snoozing in a certain granny's lap. When I'm not doing one of those things, I'm usually begging for a hint in a riddle or a room escape game. I've also adopted a pet elephant named Horton.

If selected, I'll be happy to submit a photo of myself and my alter-ego, if requested.

[Renegade]

[mcakkay]

sorry about not reading more carefully:)

[funja]

hey my name is jeremey also known as funja i live in a very rural area in the united states.
I love animals and just being outside. I have brown hair and green eyes. I am 5 foot 7 and weigh 120 lbs. In school i have had straight A's all my life and plan to be an architect.

My time online is mostly spent on gamershood forums where i play alot of escape games and riddles. Which i am not good at but i enjoy. Or in gamershood planet wher i become a fun ninja (funja) running around in the google mountains or in the GH hotel. Where i chat with everyone and co write stories. This is my first time as a user on this site. But i love renrgade games very much and i would love to be in one.

[Heather Scott]

I am Heather Scott. I'm 16, 5 foot 1 1/2 inch, I have blonde hair with red streaks, and green eyes, I have a gift of being able to read people before talking to them and if I'm not a 100% right on that read I'm not far off, I can stare for 3 mins without blinking. I have small hands and long arms. My email is [e-mail] and I really like the drawing kudos coppertone. thx for reading/listening to my boring entry.

[Marian]

Holding a digital SLR camera in one hand, a pair of binoculars in another, and wearing a backpack with extra assorted photography equipment (and snacks), I can usually be found lurking on roadways while I look up into the sky at some small, brown speck of a bird that I'm trying to identify. When not birdwatching, my hands will either be covered in ink from my latest drawing, or my brow will be furrowed as I try to solve the latest game, knowing full well that I will go down in history as the person having the lowest score ever. Simple colorful digital fishies elude me, as do virtual keys to rooms I will never enter. But wait, that's not all! In addition to my sucky video game playing, birdwatching, and art skills, I also inject willing human beings with radioactive materials for a living. Yep, I make people glow in the dark and get paid for it. My physique is best described as festively plump, a side effect of being able to cook really, really good brownies. I am shorter than Darth Vader, but taller than Yoda. I also collect edged weapons, earning me the nickname wildmaven. However, those who know me better have renamed me wildn00b. Hm...that could be because of the video games...

[e-mail]

[videocrazy]

I'd love to enter, but I don't know how to submit photos, so it would be pointless if I am picked. Good luck to all those who entered, though.

[real_decimic]

I'm Decimus, buy known mostly as Decimic. I have really long blond hair and blue eyes. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I really like computers, mathematics, drawing, hiking, and sleeping. I enjoy playing video games, including Sonic the Hedgehog games. I am mostly in a good mood, and people love to see my smiling face. I also like to sing and dance real crazy as well. I am terrified of sharp objects and extremely loud noises. However, a couple of many times I dressed up as a girl. Oops, I can't believe I just posted that-- I mean, I just thought I'd like to point that out.
