Description
Nnnnnnnnnnnngh. Criminy, I haven't done an OCT in years, but Spook Chateau looks amazingly tempting. So, in hopes of spurring myself to complete the audition comic, here's the reference for my (potential) character! The sheet gives a fairly basic overview of his personality, and I'll try and embellish this description later on to expand him a little. He's a bit plain, but I think his personality will become more apparent once comic stuff starts happening and you can see him in action.Some basic stuff about him/his mannerisms:
--He was a very shy kid, so he makes a big effort nowadays to connect with people. Likes to try and start conversations.
--Similarly, he's gotten into the tendency of talking to himself when he's alone. Jeb thinks it's a bit embarrassing, but it's a habit by now. It's more noticeable if he's nervous.
--'Um's and 'Uh's a lot. Uses contractions like 'gonna' or 'sorta' a lot.
--He really loves bunnies, okay. He REALLY loves them.
For any confused viewers, the premise of the OCT is that there's this gigantic ol' castle and people have been (sort of) tricked into going there on Halloween, which is never good! The unfortunate souls who come in costume get to enjoy the horrible experience of slowly turning into whatever creepy crawly they're dressed as. Fortunately, Jeb here didn't bring a costume! What a lucky guy. Well, there are those marker doodles on his back (courtesy of an irritating roommate), but those don't count as a costume, right?
...Right?
haha no it's totally gonna be tribute to John Carpenter and every other creepy-ass animatronic horror monster there ever was HA HA HA. I think I might be too predictable.
EDIT: the audition ([link] ) is up!

WAAAAH! I just love his design so much! *o* He's so fun to draw! ESPECIALLY THAT NOSE!!
I can't wait to see how Jeb and Ada interact- they're both so adorakable~ I think they'll get along really well.
Admitedly, I'm a little nervous about going up against you because your style is so amazing and your comics are freaking beautiful but I promise to give it my all. *smiles and shakes your hand* Good luck in the first round! <3
Just one question- how tall would you say Jeb is?

Thank you! I AM ALSO EXCITED. Ada is adorable, I've been sketching her to try and get used to her and omg so cute.
And don't be nervous, you have a great style. This round is going to a big challenge to me--so good luck to you, too!
Mmh, he's probably on the tall side! I bet he's at least six feet, haha.

It's so going to be hilarious if predictable scenes like him looking all horrifying while trying to help someone and they're just like "NONONONONOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH "

I don't think he's plain, miss/mr...I think he's quite balanced, actually! And, I must admit, every time I see the marker doodle, I just start cracking up-I can't help it! I can't wait to see your entry, and the comic!
I was thinking of joining too, if I could come up with a solid idea...

Why, thank you! Glad you got a laugh out of him, and I hope he lives up to your expectations.
Mmm, the concept is always the trickiest and most interesting part. Have you watched many horror movies? A classic monster could be fun, especially if you have some unique twist to go with it.

Pandakat26 In reply to flatw00ds [2012-10-16 23:32:28 +0000 UTC]
It's not my expectations that matter, does he meet your expectations? If so, then I think he has succeeded.
...I can't watch monster films to save my life. I jump out of my seat, I scream, I hyperventilate, and then I have nightmares and can't sleep for the next two weeks. The sad thing is, I'm not even joking.
I'm thinking 'bout doing a ghost/vampire tag team, or an author who gets turned into a marysue. Any preference?

flatw00ds In reply to Pandakat26 [2012-10-18 02:18:18 +0000 UTC]
Oh, sure he does! But a character that's perfect to an author could easily have other flaws. It's important to think about how you're getting the message across to viewers.
I think ghost and vampire would be classic, fun, and have plenty of material to spoof off of and play with. It would also fit best with the theme. On the OTHER hand, turning into a marysue is one of the funniest and most original ideas I've seen so far! It would really hinge on how well one pulled it off; if you're not careful, she could become an actual sue, but inject some reality into the situation and it could be hilarious. Do you have anything specific for the idea, like the type of character they'd become?

Pandakat26 In reply to flatw00ds [2012-10-18 10:14:55 +0000 UTC]
Aye, it is. But the thing is, sometimes you just don't know how the message comes across until you post. It's one of those things where it can get rather tricky, Y'know?
Well, for the ghost and vampire, I have an honorable knight( Ghost) and a Crime Lord/Gambler (Vampire).
The thing is, I'm hesitant about doing the Mary-Sue, because of the story aspect of the thing. I have an idea for her, but my qualms have...slowed me in creating a script to compare to the Knight/Gambler... I was thinking of either having her come dressed as 1/2 angel and 1/2 demon-where she would have violent mood swings and end up talking to herself constantly-or making her the classic neko-in which she'd suddenly become very Territorial and expects to be treated like a princess. (Going off the idea that Egyptians believed cats were sacred) However, she'd still have her personality traits-most of them-and would still be as weak as she was before the transformation-HUMAN! And after the transformation, she'd have a lot more cat-teristics...

flatw00ds In reply to Pandakat26 [2012-10-19 00:56:45 +0000 UTC]
Heh, I like your mary-sue ideas! I can see how easy it would be to twist something like that into horror--if her personality is changing, it would be like some horrible trapped-in-your-own-head sort of thing. Keeping her weak as a normal human is a great thought, especially if she thinks she's some sorta unbeatable princess.
Think it over some more, if you're unsure, but both your ideas have potential. And it would be awesome to see some more people pitch into the tournament. c:
