We are looking for the most creative and original character that you can create. You can use existing characters as inspiration but the finished character HAS to be utterly original and make us go: "Yep, I want to see that guy in a game!" Your character design needs to be clear enough that another artist could come along and draw it.

To be in to win, we want you to create a 5 basic character and 5 evolution character based on basic character for example see this link
You can create a superhero, a villian, a dragon or even someone a bit more mysterious. Was your character around 200 years ago? They could be human, alien or anything else you can dream up. Just make it awesome!

Who your character is and where they are from is completely in your hands. You can shape them any way you want. Some ideas to get you started...

• Why is your character special? (Are they exceptionally skilled? Maybe they have super powers?)
• What are your character's origins? (Where was Superman from?)
• What their goals are - what do they want to achieve? (Lex Luther wanted to destroy Superman, and Naruto wanted to be the Hokage.)
• Have they had any grand adventures or tragic events? (Frodo and Sam from The Lord of the Rings went on a mission to destroy an evil, magical ring. These characters had a great adventure. Harry Potter tragically lost his parents when he was a baby.)
• What is their favourite quote? (To infinity and beyond!)

You have to complete both your character AND their profile, otherwise we won't know why your character is cool. Make sure you have included:

• Title or logo of the character
• Your name on the character design and the profile

• Done on A4 to A3 paper or card.
• Character will not be accepted unless it is submitted with a character design and profile.
• Your character can be hand drawn, computer generated.
• It can be black and white, colour or both, but needs to be clear and distinct enough to be reproduced. This means no HB pencil work unless you press really hard!
• Only original characters can be used. That means NO copyrighted characters such as Batman, Superman, Naruto or Spiderman.
• You can enter multiple times and enter both Make a Manga and Create a Character competitions. Characters entered in Create a Character are also permitted to be used in Make a Manga. In fact, that would be really cool to see!
• Winners will be notified by phone or email.
• By submitting a manga, comic or character, you agree that it can be reproduced for publicity purposes by our Company.
• Teams are permitted.
• Offensive language or images will immediately disqualify the entry.
• Closing date for entries check the top of this page
• Any queries can be addressed to: info@linz.co.jp

Entries can be submitted in person to utoyo@linz.co.jp. Simply scan your character and attach it to your e-mail.
