So, you want to create a character for the LP, eh? It's not something just anyone can do (it totally is). You wanna know the rules? Here are the rules.

Well, to be specific, there is only one hard and fast rule: Only two characters maxmium per person, please. A lotta people had good ideas for characters...but which weren't fully fleshed out for EO5, and I wanna see what happens when that kinda creativity's put into the two best things someone can muster.

Meanwhile, here's the suggestions side of things:

• Character bios. I will ask that you write these, but I don't have a specific length requirement or maximum. However, do note that a paragraph, plus maybe two sentences or so, usually gives me enough to get a good, concrete idea of what to do with that character and how they interact with everyone. Backstory's perfectly fine but don't expect it to show up much.
• Be as serious or silly with characters as you want, but do bear in mind that all things are eventually subject to my own interpretation. I might take characters that swing too far to either side, but only after tempering them internally.
• PALETTE SWAPS. This is the "big" feature of character creation this time around. See, Tyty and I worked on a little thing called MakeSTEX a few months ago. What this little program does is it takes a PNG file, and spits out an STEX file that EOU can use as a character portrait. Essentially, I can replace any portrait with anything I want. In this case, though, I am going to be sticking to the EO2U portraits. However, with that in mind, when you submit a character, you are also free to include descriptions of a custom palette swap for them. This could be something like "hair should be green" and "sword should be neon pink." I reserve the right to deny really ugly ones like the latter, though. Note that I unfortunately can't do exact edits, but I can best-guess and get something close to what you describe most of the time.
  
  Here's an example custom palette swap.
• For Highlander and Gunner, using the protagonist or Frederica's portraits for a Classic character is entirely fair game. However, if you're going to do that, I am going to say that you must submit a palette swap. No using the default portraits.

Remember: in addition to the base classes, we will also need a Highlander and a Gunner.

Here's all the base EO2U portraits for each class:













Good luck!
