Revised New Class Contest.

[Whirlzap]

After looking at the earlier one I posted, I have decided to change up the rules.
This contest is asking for you to create a new character. A new class, that is.
You are required to do the following in order to submit an entry(I might put examples next to some words. Make your own!):

Name:
Stat(a new stat besides INT, STR, DEX):
Weapon Type Used(Gun, Staff, Sword):
Description(Describe your character, possibly give it a storyline and some background information. Weight/height, etc. Special personal abilities? This should be ATLEAST SIX SENTENCES long.):
Specialized in(tank, support, damage):
One possible pink weapon set for this class:
One possible vanity:
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it?
Why do you think your class should be made?
(State ATLEAST 3 points as to how this class would help run dungeons and support other classes as well as performing in PVP. Also, then add a small paragraph(3 sentences) explaining why your class is good.)

You will not have to do anything else besides this entry. Extra art/stuff is optional, and everyone has the same chance of winning; the contest will be judged ONLY on the creativeness and well-thought process/explanation of the new class.

The prize is unannounced.
There is no entrance fee.
Deadline is end of October. HALLOWEEN.
That give you any ideas?

ALSO PLEASE NO OYSTERS!
NO PET ROCKS EITHER!!!!

Be creative, think about it. And remember, ANYONE can win, just purely based on imagination.
I will have a few developers pick, since they were the ones who made original three classes.

Last of all, don't simply just post an entry here for the heck of it.
REALLY THINK ABOUT IT! REALLY BE CREATIVE!
If I see an entry within 5 minutes of this post, I'll automatically assume it was done just to enter easy and I'll completely ignore it.

I set the paragraph lengths plus requirements so it SHOULD take you atleast 5 minutes.
I hope...

[RedRyder]

I think we need this char for the reason that mage doesnt really cover he ehole area of support just a lil glympse of it
•shamans would be good for PvE for the reason that it can survive and heal buffing up its allies it doesnt mean it cant do it by itself as it can heal and wither oponents down with nature power
•shamans can have a fair chance at pvp by healing and using hots buffing up its defense and power and use nature attacks to hurt opponents
•shamans are good for boss fights as they can debuff thrm and buff there allies making it a easier fight for everybody
Skills
Ember burst: creates a flame on the opponent that spreads alittle (like blast shot)

-Phoenix ARMADA

[Whirlzap]

yeah, that's a nice idea there.
Mages aren't actually 100% support, so that Turtle could be good.

[Phoenixking]

Im doing peice by peice cause if not i am afraid it didnt auto save and i did some stuff for nothing cause im checking the requirements on another tab >.<

[Orcish]

Name: Monk/Brawler/Frog
New Stat: Chi - Required for new weapon types. Chi Directly affects H/S, M/S.
Weapon Type Used: Fists/Boxing Gloves/Claws/Guantlets/Staves [Leaning more towards defense vs. offense. Dps mainly obtained through skills, some exceptions would apply such as the use of poisonous
claws for example].
Description: "Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment." - Morihei Ueshiba
Monks are the masters of hand-to-hand combat relying on their martial arts training to see them through difficult times. The Monk is the only class that has the ability to perform several mini combos (not necessarily the same existing combos) without the assistance of the other three classes, sacrificing large ammounts of both health and mana to perform such feats (think of a long chain of skills in which dps escalates vs. large spike damage). The Monk can also buff his party by increasing dodge, Hit%, H/S, or M/S in return, losing health and mana regen for these types of buffs. They also have several types of immunity like abilties that negate debuffs such as slow, root, dots, etc, and can counter an enemies attack. Without the proper timing or use of their skills, the Monk will quickly find themselves at deaths door, but if they can practice self restraint and discipline they will become a useful allies against the foes of Alterra.
Specialized in: None.
Key Points: [Non-AoE Abilties] [Combo Masters] [Sacrificial Skills] [No Self Heals] [Counter Attack Abilities]
One possible pink weapon set for this class: Wart Tattoos of the Toad, Wart Knuckles of the Toad, Wart Arm Wraps of the Toad or Knuckles, and Wart Robes of the Toad.
One possible vanity: Bug Necklace (Dragonfly, Spider, Fly, etc).
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? Fenghuang.
Why do you think your class should be made?
Extra buffs that work along the side of other class buffs (always a plus in my book).
This class adds a chess game feel and brings a whole new layer to the game. This class is more catered towards the seasoned Pocket Legends player, but anyone could pickup this class so long as they abide by the whole Yin & Yang concept.
In PvP I imagine this class being, who does what and when. The Monk is going to have predict what the other player is going to do and adjust accordingly in order to win. While the other player is monitoring the health of the Monk waiting for that crucial moment to strike.
AND it's a freaking FROG, hello!! :)
For the most part I believe I hit all the main reasons why I would love to have this class in the game. Really I wrote this up to start the juices flowing for other contestants and I'm interested
to read the other entries. I probably should of been more specifics on all the abilities but it's enough right now to get an overall idea (I may update later).

Some of my other ideas I was thinking of using; Races: Fox, Frog, Wolf, Newt/Salamander, Lynx, Turtle, and an Ayeaye. Classes: Frog Monk Fist, Fox Theif Traps, Newt/Salamander Bard.

I was working on a combo guide and I was reading about this contest and I was instantly inspired by this classic character!

isn't that frog from chrono trigger?
i think i let him die when i played lol

[Whirlzap]

Chrono trigger?
I love Chrono Cross, the second one.

I like the idea of H/S and M/S. Last night I was thinking of what else there could be besides armor dps and buffs and here we have regen rates^^

[RedRyder]

isn't that frog from chrono trigger?

He wasn't claiming that as his work, he merely mentioned that he was inspired by it.
So don't come in guns hot at mr. Orcish

As for an entry, I'll make something entirely new. I'll wait a few weeks before starting to see how the contest plays out.

Name: Squirrel (Bard)
Stat(a new stat besides INT, STR, DEX): Charisma!
Weapon Type Used(Gun, Staff, Sword): Claws
Description(Describe your character, possibly give it a storyline and some background information. Weight/height, etc. Special personal abilities? This should be ATLEAST SIX SENTENCES long.): Quick and agile the friendly Squirrel bards have a bit of heal AOE (less than mage) as well as skills akin to the "dance" in Nuri's (large debuffs). They also have some very good skills for single target damage at close range. They are a Nomadic people who stumbled across Altera and decided to stay for the profusion of trees. I am not giving out height/weight information because it would be rude to reveal such details with said Squirrel permission. Weapons would be all kinds of claws and a choice between flamboyant uniforms for the ones inclined more towards large public representations to the black dress reminiscent of a ninja for when spying or snooping around for walnuts.
Specialized in(tank, support, damage): support/damage hybrid.
One possible pink weapon set for this class: Black set with mask and claws. (of the void! of course)
One possible vanity: Disco ball hat, just because.
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? ElSquirrelDeLaMuerte!
Why do you think your class should be made? Hello?!?! Squirrels!

But I'll let someone else create the entry to win the prize.

Haha that's awsome! You and your squirrely wrath lol.

[NoobianOfAlterra]

Here's my entry!

Class: Ninja
Weapon: class specific dual wield weapons and shurikens, cannot use ranged weapons
Stat: Agility, best stat for dodge and every 100 stat points increase move speed by 1.2

Here is a sketch by a friend and he gave me the permission to use it, but if it's not allowed I'll draw my own ;)
1233

History:

Since the ancient times of Alterra a group of humans lived deep within the area of Dark Forest. As soon as they were born they would be trained to their very limits, to cover their disadvantage of nature skills from other races (bird, bear, mage). As they improved over time, they formed a squad of the very most elite ninjas and maintained peace. The secret squad destroyed half the Alien's defenses before the heroes got there, and quietly went back in to the shadows like they always do. Though currently they are facing a crisis, the force of the entire vampire race has surrounded them on Mount Fang. Many heroes are on the way but

Mt Fang is still a little bit further out.

In PVE, they are like the scouts who runs ahead of tanks and debuffs the enemies while on the dodge buffs, than running back behind the tanks and dealing damage and procs to the mob group. They're weapon stats consists mainly of crit, aoe debuff procs and health regen. They're BONUS ABILITY also makes them dodge monsters, and add a chance theme to the toon.


Skills~
Buffs: a speed buff, a regen buff, a dodge buff and a crit buff
Attack: Multiple slashes of sword, a propelling skills that shoots the player 10m ahead, shoots shurikens with bleed proc, a DOT (thanks whirlz :) ) that lasts 10 seconds which does 20 damage per second regardless of armor and also a 30% chance of a burn proc
Debuffs: (aoe) a root-like debuff, (aoe) -h/s, -m/s, dodge debuff, hit debuff, (aoe) speed slow debuff, armor debuff

BONUS ABILITY: Unlocked after lvl 50, everytime your toon dodges 5 attacks in a row, they temporarily gain 5 EXTRA dodge for 5 seconds. Best thing is, THEY STACK! So you could keep getting higher dodge until the max, which is 50 dodge unbuffed :sulkiness:. Upon recieving it, you will have text above your head saying CAN'T HIT ME!!!

Advantages:
Ninjas are agile and hard to hit. They may use their skills to zoom in and out your skill range to attack and dodge, and once up close they are extremely deadly. They have good survivability as well, with dodge buffs and the BONUS ABILITY and can run away from danger zones fast. They also debuff you like crazy, so if you don't dodge their debuffs in pvp you would be doomed ;)

Disadvantages:
Attacks limited due to most of their skills being 4-8m and no skills at 12m, if skills aren't timed correctly, they could be kited easily. Also knockback skills if hit, are deadly to them as they will be vulnerable to attacks and unable to fight back. They cannot use range weapons or they would be OP :p.

Icons and names for some skills:

Ending slash (slash)http://silverlance.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/slash-break.gif?w=40&h=40 Supreme Evasion (dodge buff)http://images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org/04/1/9/9/3864843648126216.jpg Nature Release (regen) http://www.vindictuswiki.com/w/images/e/e0/SP-_Regeneration_(Skill).png
Maximum Propel (propelling) http://www.cabalwiki.com/w/images/5/5c/Shooting_Star_icon.png Shriken Dance (shoot shuriken with bleed proc) http://static.na.aiononline.com/powerbook/aion/skill/66b701eef2fb3680b3a6af4445edde10_29.jpg
Fiery Cut (DOT and probability of burn proc) http://www.cabalonline.com/img/Info/Character/SKL256.gif

The above are some ideas for skill icons.

Specialized in(tank, support, damage): Support and damage
One possible pink weapon set for this class: Glyph Elusive Silk Helm of Darkness , Glyph Elusive Dual Piercers of Darkness, Glyph Elusive Evading Armor of Darkness
One possible vanity: Evil Shadow Mask e.g. http://img.costumecraze.com/images/vendors/rubies/4676-Kids-Chinless-Ninja-Mask-thumb.jpg
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? Kakashi (from Naruto :p)
Why do you think your class should be made? It is a all-around class and is unique in skills, stats, equips and how to play, and is balanced and Pocket Legends is a bit too cartoonish IMO, so this cool character is perfect to attract more people to play! :)

Overall, Ninjas are a stealthy class and is the hardest to use of all classes, but are extremely powerful if you can use them to their full extent. They are an all around class, with good defense, offense and what really shines are their debuffs. They are the future kings of pvp! :)


Hope you like it! :cool:

[NoobianOfAlterra]

Soz for double posting but I will update this often, so wait for the final version! :D

[Whirlzap]

Good ideas! I like especially that speed slow and other types of buffs.
And the bleeding is a nice idea too, some DOT stuff as a proc in the future perhaps?

[Nourish]

Name: Bandit (would be a raccoon)

Stat(a new stat besides INT, STR, DEX): Agility or Finesse, would increase movement speed and raise crit to deal big hits in quick amounts of time.

Weapon Type Used(Gun, Staff, Sword): Daggers or a thrown dagger typed weapon

Description -Raised in large cities with many people, this poor animal had to make a living somehow. The animal trained himself how to be agile and quick and stealth-like in order to pickpocket and steal from citizens, hints the name bandit. The bandit is medium height and lightweight so it can maneuver quickly. the raccoon specializes in stealthy abilities, like quick attacks or sprinting up to the enemy, a temporary invisibility.

Specialized in(tank, support, damage): DPS

One possible pink weapon set for this class:
Helm-Shaded hood of the agile
Chest- Shaded cloak of the nimble
Weapon- Shaded daggers of the quick



One possible vanity: a bandana or hood, for the shield it could be a constant smoke screen

If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? Like IGN wise it'd be something like Shade

Why do you think your class should be made? Their isn't a class focused on ONLY melee dps and I think their should be one, it'd be pretty cool and I think every would enjoy it.

(State ATLEAST 3 points as to how this class would help run dungeons and support other classes as well as performing in PVP. Also, then add a small paragraph(3 sentences) explaining why your class is good.)

Well it would be another type of dps, a more fast striking one, with lower weapon damage but a higher rate, like .4 or even .3

It would also have charging capabilities, lost of stuns and slows, even poisons. Slows would be for slowing the target then even using an ability like dash or sprint to run to the enemy that is escaping.

EDIT: did not read any other posts before mine but just did and some of the stuff is similar >_< sorry but I didn't copy just to let you know!

EDIT 2: added weapon set

[Artentreri]

Name: turtle
Stat(a new stat besides INT, STR, DEX): constitution
Weapon Type Used(Gun, Staff, Sword): Claws/gloves
Description(Describe your character, possibly give it a storyline and some background information. Weight/height, etc. Special personal abilities? This should be ATLEAST SIX SENTENCES long.): the turtles of alterra were thout long extinct, until finally revealing themselves again to the world, emerging from croc's swamp in numbers greater than any could have imagined. The story of the turtles is a sad one indeed. It all started when the turtle tribesmen were called upon by the bear and avian legions to help stem the flow of orcs and yetis pouring in from the north. The turtles readily agreed, wanting nothing more than to help cleanse the realm of these vile creatures. So one by one each turtle outfitted himself for battle, each with his own custom fitted helm, plate, and claws. Each plate was as thick as dragon hide, and their claws twice as sharp. The turtles marched for miles to reach their allies, only to find a bloody battlefield, empty aside from one soul. The overlord. And as they rushed to avenge their fallen comrades they simply disappeared, one and all vanished from space and time never to return, or so it seemed...
Specialized in(tank, support, damage): tank
One possible pink weapon set for this class: razor fine claws of justice
One possible vanity:different shell color maybe? Kinda running outta steam haha.
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? Generic, yes. Awesome, yes. Michelangelo.
Why do you think your class should be made? Tribesmen
(State ATLEAST 3 points as to how this class would help run dungeons and support other classes as well as performing in PVP. Also, then add a small paragraph(3 sentences) explaining why your class is good.)
They would have beefy hp because of the increased constitution, good defense, maybe throw in some raise dead type spell? Not like Mage, like minions. And voodoo, which which makes all enemies within a certain radius confused and attack each other.

•shamans are good for boss fights as they can debuff thrm and buff there allies making it a easier fight for everybody

-Phoenix ARMADA
You described a Necromancer. Not a bad idea at all, but I think you might have mixed up your variations of the magic based character. I'll post some below and you browse them. Again, no criticism to your idea, just a name change.

Shaman - Nature based magic.
Necromancer - Evil/Dark based magic.
Priest - Healing, buffing
Dark Priest - Buffing with hexes, draining HP for heals
Arcane Mage - Energy/surreal magic.
Warlock - Summoning, nightmare arts
I think you get the idea but everything you said was a great idea but the name needs to be fixed is all.

It's actually very doable, IMO. I think it could be done if STS really, really wanted to. This is a great idea and would open the game a lot more. AND they'd have to make a whole new set of everything! :)

[CrimsonTalons]

Ill be editing this as soon as I can get a drawing up there. Im not really all that good anymore at drawing. Ive thought about this for a while and I havent thought up all the skills yet. But do consider this.

Class: Puma (preferably black)

Specialty: Variable (depending on what stat/skill you wish to put points in)

Why should it be made?: Creates a deeper storyline with one of the most popular areas in PL, the Alien Oasis. Character is a type of "Prize" not to be given away easily.

Background story: When the Aliens first landed on Alterra ages ago, much was used by them to subjugate the populace of the Oasis. Those that could not be bribed or bought into joining their cause were either forced through pain or mind manipulation.

One by one they all fell, from the once mighty Djinn's to even the gods Anubis and Seth...all succumbed to the alien horde....all save one...The Puma

The Puma was the high priest of the temples of the Cat Gods, Sekhmet and Bast , who had trained his mind and body throughout his life in order to serve the people of the Oasis.

Using his incredible abilities, he staged a one-creature war against the aliens which incredibly, lasted for several months. The Puma was eventually pushed back deep into the recesses of the pyramids by the combined forces of the Executioner, the Keeper and the Overlord. Though they could not kill him without risking their own demise in the process, they found a way to strip most of his power and locked him away within a sarcophagus never to be seen again.

Time has passed, and the Puma, bowed but not broken, continued to struggle within the confines of his prison. Slowly, he started to gain some of his lost power and had managed to tap into the spirits of the land to communicate with the people above......

Enter present day...And the Ghost of Malik has recently had dreams he wishes to share with his friend Jones....one that will have a lasting affect on all Alterra...


How to GET the Puma.

QUEST: Must defeat 10 High level Alien Bosses SOLO (Each boss will have a piece of a hieroglyphic "map" puzzle). Quest given by first talking to Ghost of Malik. Then after killing Bosses, a 2nd Quest given by Jones to FIND where the Puma is. (if found, you don't need to pay Platinum to have an extra slot..i'm sure it'll be tough enough using elix pots to solo the bosses). I was thinking the hiding spot is a new is a place deep, deep within the museum itself. Solo or Group (if theyve done the first part of the quest)...I dont know yet. Would depend on the difficulty of the Boss (Yes a new boss should be made - an Alien Sentry-type)

STAT SET: All stats help out respectively, however skill damage based on DEX or INT increases (Do you want a magic or handtohand type of Puma?)

Weapon Items: Mastery with dual Swords/Daggers and the Scythe / Staff
Bonus!!!: Wearing anything Egyptian will give said items a 10% boost all around in its stats
EXTRA BONUS!!: When Puma is at level 60 and above, ALL items worn have increased abilities by 10%

Item set name Suffix - "Forgotten Priest": Daggers, Scythes, Staves, Bows, Scarab Shields, Cowls, and Linens (Body armor)

Vanity Set - PHARAOH SET : #1BODY VANITY ! - Pharaohs Garb - A Jewel and gold encrusted Collar and Armlets while wearing a linen skirt (for the effeminate characters it will also have a linen cloth that covers the chest area
#2 - Pharaohs Crown - When worn, it whitens out the eyes of your character and also adds a black outline to their eyes, giving a divine god-like look.

Some of his skill arsenal and ideas for duration/cooldown.

PHYSICAL SET

Feral Pounce - In a blur, Puma quickly thrusts forward to surprise target (Physical damage and knockback and stun up to 3 seconds at max level) - 5 sec cooldown
Bladed Swipe - Puma arcs weapon in front of him to slash enemies. (Damages enemies within in a half circle radius) - 5 second cooldown.
Hunting Prey - Speed/dodge up for Puma (Up to 3x Speed and 24% dodge at max level for 48 secs. ) - 1 min cooldown
Sekhmet's Blessing - Party's Armor and Health/Mana Regen Increase (up to 24% armor value and 12 H&M/S increase at max Level for 30 secs.) - 1 min cooldown
Bast's Blessing - Party's Speed/DPS and Hit/Crit Increase (up to 3x Speed, 30% Hit, 30% Crit at Max level for 30 secs.) - 1 min cooldown also
Reversal of Fortune - DPS/armor switch - Pumas DPS and Armor switch values (6 secs. per skill level) - 1 minute cooldown

SPELL SET

Dust Storm - AOE Attack. (Hit rate debuffer) - 7 second cooldown
Scarab Swarm - Single target. A horde of beetles attack to eat your opponent. Bleeding Proc. - 5 Second cooldown
Harbinger - Puma howls causing a Fear inducing AOE spell (Armor and Dodge reducing skill) - 7 second cooldown

thanks Orcish. Im trying to not make him too much of an uber-character so that thers still some kind of balance between him and the other characters.

Hey I can never see you on for those SHadow Runs....hehe

Great few entries so far!
Keep them coming!

[NoobianOfAlterra]

Please don't let the thread die like the last one :(

[CrimsonTalons]

im wondering what the prize will be? nd if there can be more than one winner. I like the martial arts idea myself. (wanted to try to add to my puma a "No Weapon" ability...still working on it)

[Phoenixking]

Can i add new entries just for fun cause i like doing this :P
If i cant ill erase here goes (if i mention anything thats based like yours then i will delete it O.o yes i will)
Name:DRAGON/GUARDIAN
Stat(a new stat besides INT, STR, DEX):Spirit (mostly adds on health mana pools defense dmg and crit
Weapon Type Used(Gun, Staff, Sword):swipe sticks (it moves like a sword but it shoots a slash of in this case fire
Description(Describe your character, possibly give it a storyline and some background information. Weight/height, etc. Special personal abilities? This should be ATLEAST SIX SENTENCES long.):BACKGROUND:Long long ago lived guardians....the guardians that guided alterra from the evil hands of........Professor Yvual a mad man they where unkown to the other races of alterra cloaking themselves with magic suddenly a mass mob of evil came upon them whiping almost all of them out fighting valiantly so to keep the legacy of the dragon they told there kids to march to the hidden lands and well hide, to keep there legacy on and master the powers of a guardian, and so.....they didAfter years of training the dragons were tired of living a shadowy life they were proud of themselves so showed themselves to alterra fighting with powers of defense and arcane like power
Specialized in(tank, support, damage):long range tanking (commando style)
One possible pink weapon set for this class:
Helm:drago's glyphed dragonskin cap
Armor:drago's glyphed dragon skin
Weapon:drago's glyph flame sword
Sheild:drago's glyphed drago scale
One possible vanity:golden horns helm
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it?phoenixdrago
Why do you think your class should be made?
A tank that has 3/4 tankability of a bear but with a long range power of beckon damage and long range crowd control would be effective for the enemy to never land a hit or bring long raged opponents to a vulnarable distance
(State ATLEAST 3 points as to how this class would help run dungeons and support other classes as well as performing in PVP. Also, then add a small paragraph(3 sentences) explaining why your class is good.)
•It will help run dungeons because bear have high tankibility but are weak to tanking long range repulsers that why guardians are here to tank long ranged it has some trouble with melee though
•it would be good for pvp because unlike the bear it can deal more damage and crowd control from far but it will have less defense
•it has powerful means of crowd control and damaga
SKILLS
•dragon breath:the user shoots flames that damage and stops opponents 25% stun moderate damage
•drago roar:a mghty roar peircing the ears of opponents AoE around user 50%knockdown
Moderate damage
•guardians sheild:puts a sheild around itself and its team buffing there armor and h/s
•intimidation:a scary glare weakining all opponents staring cone debuff -dmg -dodge -hit
•explosion:builds up power on opponent creating a dot even if target dead it explodes high damage
•worldly push:a powerful push around the user AoE around user pushes all opponents in range deals moderate damage
•spacial colapsation:colapse space around opponent creating a pull around target AoE around target pulls anthing sourounding target and dealing high damage
•Brb

[Phoenixking]

You described a Necromancer. Not a bad idea at all, but I think you might have mixed up your variations of the magic based character. I'll post some below and you browse them. Again, no criticism to your idea, just a name change.

Shaman - Nature based magic.
Necromancer - Evil/Dark based magic.
Priest - Healing, buffing
Dark Priest - Buffing with hexes, draining HP for heals
Arcane Mage - Energy/surreal magic.
Warlock - Summoning, nightmare arts
I think you get the idea but everything you said was a great idea but the name needs to be fixed is all.
Sorry for double posting read the description lol it uses nature attacks fire water lighting air earth :P

[Whirlzap]

I'll add a new rule:
You can submit whichever ones you want.
Please send your final entry to me after October 15th. This should give you some time to think about which one to use.

[Whirlzap]

Rofl with the glyphs dropping for me.........hehe.

[Phoenixking]

Lol :P this thread seem kinda dead :( or ppl thinking probable should bring it up for others dont dig
Im still staying with the turtle on im just bored :P

[CrimsonTalons]

I think theyre enjoying the game so much to really put a lot of thought into a new character. I myself am working on the artwork and all the rest of the requirements that for my characterthat whirl is asking to see (ie a new Stat? A pink new weapon set, a Vanity etc)

Hey a vanity!! Hmm that gives me an idea to add in..

[Suentous PO]

heh,
Greater Mimic (species genus: varitus omega) Lifespan undetermined.
The ubiquitus doplegangar native to all rpgs.
Background, a naturally peacefull species that normally relies on camoflage to avoid conflict, the mimic has allways existed amoung us. With the arrival of the aliens most mimics seemed to disapear alltogether, the truth is many of their eldars had infiltrated most if not all races/species quietly gathering information & plotting. With the arival of Nuri some of their kind fell prey to the madness & had fought with their own kind, innadvertantly prompting all mimics to band together with all free peacefull species & spread the word of the great DEVS, " be nice, have fun"
In game terms this would look like a solid colored humanoid ( meybe color can slowly change) except for equiped items. The auto attack button would have the effect of cloning the nearest enemy in appearance but odd colored. By doing that you would gain the attack of that toon in appearance & effect ( be it mele or range ) but would work off your lev. & stats. So your role is as what you clone. Items would become interesting " lets see in lions den most enemies have mele weps so thats what ill equip here.."
The most popular wep will be "talon wing/shield" sub names at will eg. shuriken, thrown hand ax, parrying dagar ect..
some skill ideas "spawn" would create a shadow clone of you that attacks once then takes a hit for you & dies. "mock skill" would recreate cloned enemies special abilities, two mimics would be able to use enemy combos like"gravestonned". "megaspawn" skill is like spawn but small survivability %. "shoes untied" has good chance of stun but does no damage. "ropeadope" makes a spawn with taunt does nothing but takes one for the team. "psychic" small mana regen. & more buffs...
Mimics could put stats anywhere giving them the option of any items builds, so no need of a new power source/stat name.
Might name him Mrmime, or YOU, or frendlyfire, or Rorschac, or Dooplegangsta.
Special pink? mirror shield, or Stanislavs costume which allows toon to allways look like enemy in town, or buddy shirt-sport it & look like your friend! another special property would be that they could rock ALL class specific vanities!
Oh and mimics loved to eat oysters so much they drove them to extintion, so there, drop it.
Why should They be made? They have, there hiding in plain sight, I just want to play one. Besides this contest ends right about when holloween events might start, & us poor kids wont need to pay for costumes.
forgive typos- the more creative i am the more out of touch with reality i get.
cheers brethren,
a boy names Sue

Mad awesome story right here. :hypnotysed: Amazing job, CrimsonTalons!

[Conradin]

Still working on mine.

[Whirlzap]

Sill have a motnh for submisions'

[LoveMadrid]

Why hasn't anyone thought of this yet ...

i mean.. every MMO has this ..

Name: Druid. Its representing animal should be a deer. symbolizing peace(Melee, since there's already 2 ranged and only 1 melee)
Stat: Vitality (a stat that provides extra attack speed)
Weapons used: Gloves, circles

Description: The deers, who are demigods of nature, helps enforces the laws of the Elf Queen. Sworn to protect the nature from all darkness, the deers came out of forest haven and decided to drive the forces of darkness back to where it came from. They have amazing recuperative abilities and transforming skills to turn themselves into their true form. At higher levels, the druids are a force to be reckoned with. They have incredible regeneration rate, and yet their attack speed makes up for their low damage output per attack. The deers have a large number of self attack speed/ transformation buffs as well as a 5 regeneration buffs. When the druids are in normal form, they are quite durable and able to take quite some damage (it will not tank as good as a warrior though). While when they are in deer form, their advantage should be their insane attack speed, dishing out a large number of damages at to a single target. Their bread and butter should be the formidable "true form" skill. Granting them a new look, and incredible stats for a very short period of time.

Pros
+They should morph between DPS and tank easily
+They can deal a huge amount of damage in a short period of time.
+They are the only class that relies on their normal attack as their main damage output while all the rest of the skills are buffs/debuffs

Cons
-True form should only last only about 5 to 15 seconds. (Edit:　　Ｏｒ．．　ｔｈｅ　ｔｒｕｅ　ｆｏｒｍ　ｄｒａｉｎｓ　ｍａｎａ　ｐｅｒ　ｓｅｃｏｎｄ． 　Ｗｈｅｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｕｓｅｒ'ｓ　ｍａｎａ　ｒｕｎ　ｏｕｔ，　ｔｈｅｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｂｅａｒ　ｆｏｒｍ　 ｒｕｎｓ　ｏｕｔ．　Ｐｌａｙｅｒｓ　ｃａｎｎｏｔ　ｕｓｅ　ｍａｎａ　ｐｏｔｓ　ｄｕｒｉｎｇ　ｂｅａｒ 　ｆｏｒｍ)
-When they come out of deer form, there should be a 5 second period when all damages towards them is multiplied by 1.5 and reducing their damage by 60% making them extremely vulnerable.

Specializes: Transformation and supporting with skills such as transforming themselves into their true form (which is a deer form of druid) and buffing hp/mp regeneration buffs(not healing, but higher regeneration)

possible pink weapons: Nature's warm glove, Mother Earth's Glove of haste

One possible vanity: Cape of Nature (an item that is classified as a vanity shield, but its a shield with a tree symbol at the back of it)

Why is Druids going to be good ? Simply because of the fact that we need a new type of class. It'll be enjoyable to experience a class that is able to morph from a tank to a DPS (and vice versa) without the need to respec attribute points. Players that like tanking can choose not to skill their transformation skill and can choose to stay in druid form while players that like DPS can choose to skill the transform skill (which will increases its duration 1 second per lvl) They are going to be a very fun class to play. Their buffs should be multi-targeted buffs that gives hp/mp regeneration, which will help their teammates by covering the regeneration buffs enchantresses missed.

PvP: Player verses player will be a major attraction to the druid class. An experienced druid player will dish out a large amount of damage during their true form, seriously wounding (or even killing) the opponent, and run away to hide from attack during the side effect of true form. At the same time, a druid's opponent should be trying to immobilize and stunning the druid to take advantage of their side-effect. It will be a great class to play and to play against in PvP.

[LoveMadrid]

I'll add a new rule:
You can submit whichever ones you want.
Please send your final entry to me after October 15th. This should give you some time to think about which one to use.

I only got one O.O does that mean i still have to send it to you after 15th of Octobor

[CrimsonTalons]

How can I upload photos to here? If I put them into my facebook account, is there a way I can link the photos?

Im not a pro with online storage and things...:cold:

[Whirlzap]

The druid is a nice idea!
@Crimson: Go to Photobucket, upload your photos to there, take the IMG code and paste it on a post.
It should make the photo show up.
Keep on making submissions! Still have a little UNDER a month left!
Prize shall be announced on last week to deadline to "attract" more last minute entries.

So do we have to submit a final entry to u on the 15th of Octobor ..? Even if we only got one entry ?

[Whisper72]

First some ruminations.... The game already has a mage, which is already fairly allround. On the one hand, another spellcaster would seem logical against the two physical combatants, but I had trouble thinking of a good niche. So. Back to the physical combatants. We have the Bear/STR/Tank stereotype and the Bird/DEX/ranged combatant. What we miss is a close in but sneaky 'thief' like stereotype.

Lets consider a race: we need something relatively mundane, to be comparable to the Bear and the Avian. No dragons etc. A real world creature that already has a natural link with the class/powers in mind: the monkey! Jumping around, bouncing into and out of the fight. And a class name? Monk (and Monkey) sound better then 'thief' or some similar class title. It's a bit more friendly sounding. So:

Name: Monk (Race: Monkey)

As to a new stat. Well, the monks have this mond over matter stuff. Chi is a good one, but keeping it in 'normal' English, I choose to call it 'Spirit' (SPI). So:

Stat(a new stat besides INT, STR, DEX): SPIrit

Being a monk / ninja type dude, lets break out the whole ninjitsu / martial arts weapons locker. So:

Weapon Type Used(Gun, Staff, Sword): Bo stick, nunchucks, sai, shuriken etc. etc. Maybe with a choice of 'blunt' weapons that do additional damage to armored opponents and light piercing type weapons that do extra damage against bosses. Also a choice of thrown versus handheld weapons... that would give the class some nice versatility of build types...

Next:

Description(Describe your character, possibly give it a storyline and some background information. Weight/height, etc. Special personal abilities?
This should be ATLEAST SIX SENTENCES long.):

Well, deep in the forests lived the monkey's minding their own monkey business, but they too were shaken by the alien invasion of Alterra. The call came through a bit late. Monkeys are not known to be the smartest folks on the block. But their SPIRIT is just the right one. And once their forest abodes were threatened, they too took up their arm to come to the defence of Alterra. They fight not trough the use of brute strength, but using their keen awareness of the world, their surroundings, being in sync with the natural world about. This power they use to strike with fearsome precision, bouncing in and out of combat (DEX as secondary stat) and using spell like powers of reality altering force. Monkeys are bundles of energy. Light as an elf, relatively small in stature. They are faster in movement than the other classes. They take life a bit less seriously then the other classes... Their main powers have to do with movement and evasion. Most weapons will be double handed / two weapons. No shields. SPIrit is channeled through crystals (among other things), so crystalline items, crystals etc. are special to the class / provide additional powers. Monkeys will therefore have a field day in the Sandstone Caves complex, where they can find some of their most prized weapons/armor... Also, monkeys exist in different types. The vanity faces will give them special powers: Gorilla's for more fysical power, baboon for more cunning type powers etc.

Sample powers (names need to be worked on a bit more):
- evade: make an enemy untarget you / lose aggro
- jump in: change place instantly towards target from x meters away (also: jump out, move away)
- mindshield: similar to mana shield, providing good shielding from direct attacks
- spirit strike: blasts through / negates armor / shielding
- draw aggro: monkeys can be so annoying, all enemies want to pile on them (best used right before a 'jump out')

Specialized in(tank, support, damage): direct damage

One possible pink weapon set for this class: Crystal Nunchuck of Chi/Crystal Sai of Chi, Crystal Robe of Chi, Crystal Cirlcet of Chi

One possible vanity: Mask of the Gorilla

If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? KingKong (naturally....)

Why do you think your class should be made? Monkeys are the missing element... duh! Well, truthfully, I think that it fits in nicely into the existing mix, provides some novelty and provides plenty room to develop further. Sides, otherwise the monkeys will get you. They always do in the end...

(State ATLEAST 3 points as to how this class would help run dungeons and support other classes as well as performing in PVP.
1. good for luring out single enemies from groups
2. can solo a boss well
3. can draw 'fire' away from others
4. in PVP very powerful against Tanks

Also, then add a small paragraph(3 sentences) explaining why your class is good.)
The monkey makes for fun playing as they have their own role in combat. They are best at singling out a specific foe and take them out quickly, or evade / run away of this foe turns out to be too powerful. Monkeys are fast and can run ahead and also outpace most enemies, thus drawing out enemy mobs around bosses for example, or breaking up larger groups of foes. Also, noone else mentioned monkeys yet (AFAIK)... also, everybody loves monkeys!

[duckedo]

Nice idea Crimson

[NoobianOfAlterra]

Contest is going great! Though lots of ideas are similar to mine lol :D

[LoveMadrid]

Why's everone thinkin of tank/ DPS classes :/ the thread seems dead :/

[Phoenixking]

Mine is a mix of support tank and dps O.o and i dislike monkeys >.<

[CrimsonTalons]

Why's everone thinkin of tank/ DPS classes :/ the thread seems dead :/

Please read mine. Mine has been made to be both a solo madhouse or as a wonderful 2ndary support character.

[LoveMadrid]

Please read mine. Mine has been made to be both a solo madhouse or as a wonderful 2ndary support character.

Wow O.O your storyline is VERY detailed and imaginative = =" but if he solo'd all the bosses.. wouldn't that make him too overpowered ?

[Whisper72]

Among the alien invaders are also those who do not agree with the Overlord. These aliens are from the underground, the resistance. You have met one of them already. Sizoo. But there are more.
Now, they are out in force and have come into the open. They are now ready to join the Alterrans. These aliens have special powers. Powers of the mind that enabled them to remain hidden while living among their hated enemies.
From now, they will use these powers to help the other defenders of Alterra.

Name: Psion
Race: Alien
Stat: Mind
Weapon Type Used(Gun, Staff, Sword): Wands
Description(Describe your character, possibly give it a storyline and some background information. Weight/height, etc. Special personal abilities?
This should be ATLEAST SIX SENTENCES long.):
For storyline and special abilities type, see above. They look the same as the blue and yellow aliens, only now that they are in open revolt have assumed a different color: grey. These greys can befuddle the minds of their enemies, improve the abilities of their allies (buffs increasing the effectiveness of attacks en skills, not HP/Armor, that is for the enchantress). Their attack powers are ranged spells. Either debuffs on enemies or stunning them. Other attack spells are ranged single enemy attacks. Hit points more in line with enchantress. M/s is important to recover mana quickly, will rely mainly on 'spells' to operate rather than weapons.
Sample powers:
- Feeblemind: slows enemies temporarily, reducing the speed of their attacks, movement etc.
- Mindscream: stuns enemies in a 12 m radius. Improving the skill reduces mana spent and increases time of stun
- Mindstrike: direct damage attack dealing damage to enemy. Damage is relatively low, but pierces directly through armor (it attacks the mind rather than the physical state)
- Mindblast: blast damage, but at range. I.e. centered on impact point (either at max range of 12 m, or centered around targeted mob/boss) does damage in 6 m range
- Mindquake: powerful shockblast centered on PC pushing away enemy mobs/bosses. Does moderate damage in the process. 6m range.
- Morale Boost: improves confidence of allies within range. In terms of game effect, skills act as though one level higher or with X% improvement in effects. Hit % is also increased.
- Heighten senses: allies (and self) are more aware of the environment and see attacks coming better / better to attack enemies. This improves dodge and crit %.
- Phase out: makes the PC not be there for short period of time. During this time the PC cannot attack / cast spells, but is also immune to enemy attacks (including boss specials such as Gurgox shout etc.) Added benefit, aggro is removed
Specialized in(tank, support, damage): support role with decent damage capabilities
One possible pink weapon set for this class: BrainCap of Deep Thoughts, Shimmering Robe Deep Thoughts, Scintallating Wand of Deep Thoughts
One possible vanity: Crown of Mind Control
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? Thufir Hawat
Why do you think your class should be made? Would be a good supplement to the existing mix. Relatively simple to make (Aliens are already in the game). Good reason for coming in late into the game.
State ATLEAST 3 points as to how this class would help run dungeons and support other classes as well as performing in PVP:
1. good support with different types of buffs then the enchantress
2. good support role in debuffing / stunning enemies so others can close in for kill
3. decent direct damage so solo is viable option, shielding / evading powers are also useful for survivablility
4. in PVP able to evade powerful enemy attacks (if timing is good) and so has a good chance to kite / wear down other PC's
Also, then add a small paragraph(3 sentences) explaining why your class is good.
This class fills a niche not yet taken. Has very little overlap with the other classes. It is also more of a spellthrower (M/s is important), bringing some balance there. Fits nicely into the storyline. What more do you want?

[CrimsonTalons]

Wow O.O your storyline is VERY detailed and imaginative = =" but if he solo'd all the bosses.. wouldn't that make him too overpowered ?

Thanks. I had thought about that but in my opinion, he is a special character and you would have to be pretty uber already to be able to get him in the first place so in my mind......getting him is kind of like a CoP in character form.

As far as being overpowered, I think I will tone down my ideas for some of his powers. Granted this is still just a contest and if the developers like it, they can do whatever they want to the Pumas skills, whether to nerf it down or strengthen it as they see fit or change powers around altogether.

Im putting a picture this week also to but wow my drawing skills suxx. haha..

An alien idea!!! Nice one there! :victorious:

[Ghastly]

Reserved for my entry lol, this should be fun.

[Baumina]

Name: Trickster (Fox)

Stat: AGILITY/SPEED

Weapon Type Used: Fork, Spoon, Whips

Description:
The Trickster looks like a sneaky fox. She is tinier than the other inhabitants of Alterra. And not very welcome by some of them due her pickpocketing skills. However, she is always welcome in group games, as her pickpocket skills (which take unfortunately a long cool down time) might have the mob or boss drop something from their pocket. She has various skills, like shape shifting, invisibility and as already mentioned pick pocketing. Also, she has group effects like STR+ and Armor+ due her good and positive humor. Also, she has a skill of SPEED, that allows her for a little while do perform similar to the speed elixir. The shape shifting skills can create lots of confusion with the enemy, and helps her sometimes, as she is quick, but weak.

Specialized in: group effects support/boosts and item drops

One possible pink weapon set for this class:

* Helmet: Cooking Pot
* Weapon: Fork of good drops
* Armor: Invisible cloak
* Shield: Frying Pan



One possible vanity: hat of 100 tricks (pointy little hat that give the Trickster an almost translucent look, and adds to her agility), randomly shape shift in town

If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? Pocketella

Why do you think your class should be made?
Run dungeons/support other/performing PVP:

1. group stats booster
2. increase group luck for a mob/boss drop
3. confusion/slowness on mob


Why this class is good:
Some players do not have the hours of farming or the money to purchase the nice items. A lil luck like this would be definitely welcomed. Also, this character is very nice, because it give many group boosts. And it adds lots of fun via shape shifting or other fun things :)

racoon-special ops
stealth
claws and explosives
the racoons have been searching through alterran garbage and finally now is their time to shine they have built super stealthy items they may even become a class these stealthy creatures now exactly when they have to do something and where they comunicate by throwing flares up in the air one by one a long wait until second flare means incoming enemy they have been planning for years and now they are gonna become the number 1 class of all time
super stealthy hood of the racoons
thief in the night suit of the fast
leapord claws of the strong
pink grenade of the SEXY
sexystealth
i think we needthis because the bird archer doesnt do enough damage so this is a mix of str and dex
-racoons would be good for loot runs because they can go long ranged with grenades and deal high damagae also has a long reach from the explosion
-raccons can use their claws by backstabing an enemy there is a 20% instant kill on normal enemys but canot instant kill bosses but deal great damage
-they have an invisibility power wich lets them sneak around enemys to take them out from behind and help their friend get past
invisibility let you go behind enemys withou being spotted
flare time rapidly throws flares in the air blinding the enemys
mine time the racoon puts a mine in the ground and obviously explodes when enemy steps on it
garbage breath the racoon breaths allover the enemys and stuns them also doing a bit of damage
teleportation say your groups gets lost teleportation brings all the players to where the user is
last but not least ninja gonna getchya the racoon randomly turns into a ninja raccon and instant kills the nearest 10 enemys doesnt work on bosses but deals great deal of damage

[Mastercon]

Ok guys, here is my class idea:

CREATURE: Tiger
NEW STAT: Sneakery (Sn) for short
SPECIAL ABILITY: Able to shapeshift, or to look like someone else.
WEAPONS USED: Shadow weapons. Ex: , Slingshot, 2handed blaster, pistol, etc. All of these weapons are black, and are comepletely dipped and bathed in the unknown shadow liquid, a mysterious substance that only can be found in the portals on each location in Alterra to enter a PvE dungeon.
HISTORY: Alterra is just one of 3 or 4 islands in the ocean. On the farthest most smallest island out of sight of any bear bird or mage, lies the island of Anterral. On this island lies a series of small villages. In these villages, the shadow crystals are found by the tigers, and they mine them up, unlocking an ancient power nobody in Alterra or Blackstar has ever known about. Taking this power, they are no longer ordinary tigers... But have the ability to shape shift.
One stormy night, on the island of Anterral, and evil witch known to Alterrans as "Silknight the Sorceress" rises up after gaining too much power from shadow crystals and the shadow liquid. She took over all the villages, and forced the tigers to work. Knowing they could not escape her wrath, they shapeshifted into Silknight's henchman, and sneakily boarded boats to the only safe place they knew: Alterra. Of course, the witch had expected this, and also came to Alterra, to search for them. since Anterral island is southwest of the island, the tigers sailed northeast, and eventually landed on the shores of Forest Haven. Knowing Silknight was coming, they hid amongst the trees, not wanting to be slaves again. Silknight interfered with the Heroes training by going mad to take over Forest Haven to find the tigers. Luckily, the tigers were relieved, and the bears birds and elves worked together to kill this intruder. After forest Haven was safe, they emerged, and trained as well. This is how the Alterrans know them today.
Possible battle skills:
HERIOC ROAR: Causes enemies to cower in fear for 3 seconds, then come and fight you again
SHAPESHIFT: Makes your character change into the target that is selected. Does not work, or fool bosses. This skills allows the tiger to walk through all defenses, as long as you look like your enemy. Must have a target selected to use.
SHADOW TRAP: When an enemy walks over it, it engulfs them in a shadowy death. With bosses, it does shadow damage over time.
ARMOR DISINTEGRATE: Mainly used in PvP and bosses. It removes any current armor buffs and deals a small amount of damage ti the enemy. For example, it would remove a mages mana shield
SUMMON SHADOW SWORDSMAN: This summons a completely dark and covered-in-black swordsman. It draws away attention to enemies, and has its own set of health. Amount of health: 150. Amount increases as you upgrade this skill with skill points. Maximun health amount: 300.
REFRESH: This skill heals you and your mana about 100, then recharges for 15 seconds.
And other simple attacks, such as lunge, jab, slice, etc.
PINK "SN" SET: The Disguise set:
"Shapeshifter's Pistol (One handed) of disguise"
"Tiger's jeweled buckler of disguise"
"Killah's Dark hood of disuise"
"Killah's shadow armor of diguise"
VANITY ITEM:
"Crystal shield of the black flame"
"Crystal helm of the black flame"
TIPS FOR PvP:
1. The main tiger combo: Use the Heroic scream skill, then, while they are cowering, use the shadow trap on them. This will amplify the damage, and look epic at the same time =).
2. Archers are your enemy! Their arrows can pierce you, and will weaken your strength armor, and will make you slower!
3. Easiest kill: Bear warriors. Why? Because when they pull you in, they sense the shadow shapeshifting power within you, and the combo is reversed, and they are harmed by their own combo. Otherwise, shadow weapons are more effective on them then archers or mages.
BOSS FIGHTING TIPS:
1. This class does not buff. So, you work with your group, and can solo bosses if needed.
2. Soloing the bosses is not suggested, but it is possible, because the shadow damage and the "Sneakery" stat is a mystery to them, and do not know how to deal with it.
3. The "Refresh" skill has only a one second cool down, and if you MUST solo a boss, please use that skill! SO helpful!
Devs, I really think you guys should use this, becuase since it has no buffs, you must work together to accomplish things, but you can also do them by themselves. I also think it's pretty cool becuase of the new damage i created, and everyone would want to find out how to harness the shadow shape-shifting power.
If I made one of these tiger characters, I would usually take a random name and tweek it to my liking. Usually I don't pay TOO much attention to the names. Or I may come up with some sort of mideviel name like "Alderoth" xD or something. Hope you enjoyed it!

[LoveMadrid]

Lets hope so :L

[Imsebastiaanl]

After looking at the earlier one I posted, I have decided to change up the rules.
This contest is asking for you to create a new character. A new class, that is.
You are required to do the following in order to submit an entry(I might put examples next to some words. Make your own!):

Name:
Stat(a new stat besides INT, STR, DEX):
Weapon Type Used(Gun, Staff, Sword):
Description(Describe your character, possibly give it a storyline and some background information. Weight/height, etc. Special personal abilities? This should be ATLEAST SIX SENTENCES long.):
Specialized in(tank, support, damage):
One possible pink weapon set for this class:
One possible vanity:
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it?
Why do you think your class should be made?
(State ATLEAST 3 points as to how this class would help run dungeons and support other classes as well as performing in PVP. Also, then add a small paragraph(3 sentences) explaining why your class is good.)

You will not have to do anything else besides this entry. Extra art/stuff is optional, and everyone has the same chance of winning; the contest will be judged ONLY on the creativeness and well-thought process/explanation of the new class.

The prize is unannounced.
There is no entrance fee.
Deadline is end of October. HALLOWEEN.
That give you any ideas?

ALSO PLEASE NO OYSTERS!
NO PET ROCKS EITHER!!!!

Be creative, think about it. And remember, ANYONE can win, just purely based on imagination.
I will have a few developers pick, since they were the ones who made original three classes.

Last of all, don't simply just post an entry here for the heck of it.
REALLY THINK ABOUT IT! REALLY BE CREATIVE!
If I see an entry within 5 minutes of this post, I'll automatically assume it was done just to enter easy and I'll completely ignore it.

I set the paragraph lengths plus requirements so it SHOULD take you atleast 5 minutes.
I hope...

I would like a dwarf ;-) but why the post isnt on contest page?

[LoveMadrid]

Soo ?? are the devs still selecting a winner ? or is the contest just cancelled or postponed ?

Contest over? http://www.throwlights.com/images/smilies/dodgyrun.gif

[KTpantyhose]

Name: Monk/Brawler/Frog
New Stat: Chi - Required for new weapon types. Chi Directly affects H/S, M/S.
Weapon Type Used: Fists/Boxing Gloves/Claws/Guantlets/Staves [Leaning more towards defense vs. offense. Dps mainly obtained through skills, some exceptions would apply such as the use of poisonous
claws for example].
Description: "Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment." - Morihei Ueshiba
Monks are the masters of hand-to-hand combat relying on their martial arts training to see them through difficult times. The Monk is the only class that has the ability to perform several mini combos (not necessarily the same existing combos) without the assistance of the other three classes, sacrificing large ammounts of both health and mana to perform such feats (think of a long chain of skills in which dps escalates vs. large spike damage). The Monk can also buff his party by increasing dodge, Hit%, H/S, or M/S in return, losing health and mana regen for these types of buffs. They also have several types of immunity like abilties that negate debuffs such as slow, root, dots, etc, and can counter an enemies attack. Without the proper timing or use of their skills, the Monk will quickly find themselves at deaths door, but if they can practice self restraint and discipline they will become a useful allies against the foes of Alterra.
Specialized in: None.
Key Points: [Non-AoE Abilties] [Combo Masters] [Sacrificial Skills] [No Self Heals] [Counter Attack Abilities]
One possible pink weapon set for this class: Wart Tattoos of the Toad, Wart Knuckles of the Toad, Wart Arm Wraps of the Toad or Knuckles, and Wart Robes of the Toad.
One possible vanity: Bug Necklace (Dragonfly, Spider, Fly, etc).
If Developers were to make this a class, and you created one of your own characters, what would you name it? Fenghuang.
Why do you think your class should be made?
Extra buffs that work along the side of other class buffs (always a plus in my book).
This class adds a chess game feel and brings a whole new layer to the game. This class is more catered towards the seasoned Pocket Legends player, but anyone could pickup this class so long as they abide by the whole Yin & Yang concept.
In PvP I imagine this class being, who does what and when. The Monk is going to have predict what the other player is going to do and adjust accordingly in order to win. While the other player is monitoring the health of the Monk waiting for that crucial moment to strike.
AND it's a freaking FROG, hello!! :)
For the most part I believe I hit all the main reasons why I would love to have this class in the game. Really I wrote this up to start the juices flowing for other contestants and I'm interested
to read the other entries. I probably should of been more specifics on all the abilities but it's enough right now to get an overall idea (I may update later).

Some of my other ideas I was thinking of using; Races: Fox, Frog, Wolf, Newt/Salamander, Lynx, Turtle, and an Ayeaye. Classes: Frog Monk Fist, Fox Theif Traps, Newt/Salamander Bard.

I was working on a combo guide and I was reading about this contest and I was instantly inspired by this classic character!

Totally vote for this and totally would be a toad if they added this haha

Also battle toads!

[KTpantyhose]

Chrono trigger?
I love Chrono Cross, the second one.

I like the idea of H/S and M/S. Last night I was thinking of what else there could be besides armor dps and buffs and here we have regen rates^^

I played chrono cross like crazy when I was little

[CrimsonTalons]

Hmm mt. fang is out now....the itch is killing me for a new character.:mask:

[LoveMadrid]

^ Yup, and still no news of a winner or a prize ^

[KTpantyhose]

O.O no im just eager to know the winner thats all , i know this is just a contest :D this is the first contest i ever entered

[LoveMadrid]

Its December now .. =.=

[zeusabe]

LOL this thread got the invisible and virtual face palm from the developers XD

"STS: New class? What's the matter with you, WHAT's THE MATTER WITH YOU SON?"

Sorry, couldn't help it. Let's put it this way, they can't even create better campaigns and new skills for existing classes and you expect a new class...it's like expecting a car on your graduation when your house is about to get foreclosed...I mean, not real best example, but, it's not happening...maybe when the smoke clears after all these hulabaloos...but not now, nice try though, a new class would be awesome. Thanks.

[LoveMadrid]

Its christmas now @.@ any news of the winner
