Call him a tank, call him a barbarian, call him a noble plate-clad defender of all that is virtuous, or just call him Bob, whatever his class or character, he's a Fighter. Spells are for weenies, guns for cowards, and faces are made to be kicked, so strap on your Man Pants and design the baddest, toughest, rootinest tootinest Fighter type character you can imagine.
That's right, it's Character Design Contest time again, kids! Come up with the best submission that matches the theme of a Fighter and you'll win everlasting fame and glory. Or at least, the option to have any item you like (within reason) or a caricature of your head included in HeroMachine 3. The rules are simple:
- You can enter as many times as you want, but to be eligible, you must leave your entry as a comment to this post, and include a link to view the image on a public web server somewhere (i.e. ImageShack.com, PhotoBucket.com, the UGO Forums, etc.).
- No PhotoShopping or other image manipulation allowed with the exception of basic cropping.
- You must use some version of HeroMachine for your image.
Good luck! The contest will end next Tuesday, with the winner announced on HeroMachine.com.

Name: Jamieson Willims
Alias(es): Fury
Powers: Size Shifting
Size Shifting or Mass Shifting is the ability to use psionic power to increase or decrease one’s size at will. Sometimes it is only possible for the user of the ability to only become larger or only become smaller and then go back to normal. However, it is not uncommon for the user of the ability to become larger or smaller as desired. Sometimes this ability could even be used to change the size of other things as well (called Size Manipulation).
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Strength or Superstrength is the ability for a person to exert force from the muscles beyond that of a normal human. This can be accomplished by either fortifying the muscles with psychic force (similar to the energy which allows Telekinesis), or simply having denser muscle mass than that of a normal human.

Malleability, also called Molding, Plasticity or Vicissitude is the ability to mold the body into different forms as though the form was composed of putty or clay.

Dirart Bladecaster is a native from the region and a specialist in wielding the dual shock axe. He came under attention at an early age afer he taught himself how to wield a battle axe. After the murder of his parents(where he got his scar) he was adopted into the temple and trained to become a guardian.

I Call Him Handy Pete.
Hes Strong As A Ox, And Dumb As A Mule.
http://i25.tinypic.com/2qks1ao.jpg
Bryan Jordan was the World Heavy Weight Boxing Champion and was at the top of his game. One day, his family convinced him to go on a safari in Africa. Things were going great until a lion attacked the tour. Unable to stop it in time, Bryan was forced to watch as his wife and children, along with the rest of the group, were slaughtered by the beast. In a fit of rage he ran up to the wild animal and threw a tremendous right hook into the lion’s left eye, dazing, but angering the beast. The lion charged Bryan and slashed his chest with both claws, pinning him to the ground. Just as he was about to kill him, Bryan threw another punch, this time to the underbelly of the beast, which caused the lion to stagger just enough for him to get his other arm free to grab the knife out of his boot and carve out the animal’s still beating heart. After returning to America, having nothing to live for, he left professional boxing for a more dangerous lifestyle, underground cage fighting. Known as The Lionheart, Bryan is feared by many and known as the man with no fear.

He doesn’t remember his past, all except for a name, Dan Brookrade. Another clue to his past is a strange barcode tattoo numbered 23417-232156-2231, although to him it is meaningless. All he does is participate in street fighting tournaments and cage matches. He doesn’t give a damn about his past, preferring to live in the moment. His green eyes glimmers with anticipation of his next big match, as he is a pure adrenaline addict.
In a way, he is a feared opponent among the street fighting competitors.

Another go then, mate? This time I got a Warrior (from my “The Temple of Doom” paper game), and if you want some more background, just say so. I’m not sure if this entirely qualifies since he doesn’t so much rely on his armor and weapons but moreso on his magics and abilities working together with his equipment. Even still, I tried to give him a good balance of offense and defense while sticking somewhat to his original design. By the way, I like lotsa colores.
And yes, he is part vampire.

@Zorbas the Awsome, I just saw your post on like the 3rd character contest. How are you Neoshock, haha.
@Jeff, I’ve got yet another idea. A HeroMachine Universe would be cool. Some of the character ideas, and stories everyone comes up with is pretty good. If your interested in that, maybe you could set up a section for people to submit stuff, and put a reasonable limit on posts allowed so not to get overwhelmed, Then allow the community to have a set amount of votes, allowing only one per character, so that one person couldn’t submit a character and vote 25 times on the same guy. Now one biggy would be that each person would own copyright to their own characters. Now the world may work better if it belonged to The HeroMachine name, that way multiple creators, could create characters for the same plains of existence. If your interested in this at all, and if you could work it in to not take up to much of your time, I think plenty of people here would love that, but a post discussing all this would need to be set in place. I’ve noticed many people, including myself are working on their own universes, but that’s alot of work for anyone person. Just thinking out loud.
