The Awakening's Create-a-Kohan Contest

 

Hundreds of thousands of immortals lay dormant on Dragonbone Isle, their un-awakened amulets forgotten in the ages of time.  Until now.  A group of brave adventurers have successfully stolen their way into the ruined temple and have discovered these forgotten Kohan amulets.  The keepers of the amulets have chosen YOU to research these treasures to determine their contents.

So…who will you awaken?

CONTEST IS OVER!  WINNERS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!
 

Official Rules


In celebration of TimeGate Studios’ soon-to-be-released K-Mod editing tool for Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns and Kohan: Ahriman’s Gift, The Awakening is proud to present the Create-a-Kohan Contest.

Using spells and abilities from within the game or even those existing only in the imagination, players can craft their own heroes and win some prizes in the process.

Submissions are due by midnight EDT, June 14th, 2002, after which they will be posted anonymously on The Awakening for judging by the community.  Judging will be done via email, one vote per person per category.  Voting will last until midnight EDT, June 21st.  Winners will be announced shortly thereafter with one winner per category.  In the case of a tie, the tie will be broken either by mortal hand-to-hand combat or by a vote of The Awakening Staff, whichever Chimaeros feels like doing at the time.
 

Voting Rules


Send an email to
Chimaeros with your choice for each category. 
One vote per person per category.

The Forgotten

The Sublime

The Ridiculous

For more information on each category, see the "Kohan Categories" section below.
 

Submission Guidelines


Use spells and abilities that exist in the game or make up completely new ones – pretty much anything goes.  Provide a background description as well as stats and abilities for each hero level (Awakened, Enlightened, Restored, Ascended) and while not necessary you can even submit a custom portrait.  Don’t forget to choose, or invent, a faction for your Kohan. Feel free to browse The Awakening for reference.

Custom portraits should be 72 pixels wide x 78 pixels high and in .gif format.  These do not have to be original works of art, but if you decide to use another artist's work, please include the artist's name with your submission (so, if for example you were to make the Mona Lisa as a Kohan, you could submit her portrait with credit to DaVinci).  If you need to send a larger picture or are unable to resize the picture to your satisfaction, please contact me in advance and we can make arrangements for me to crop the portrait for you.

Please use the following template when submitting your Kohan, fill it out and zip it with your portrait and send it to Chimaeros@strategyplanet.com.  The template can be adapted as you see fit depending on your hero and the amount of info you wish to provide.

You may submit as many Kohan as you would like—there is no limit.

No profanity, pornography, or anything else that would be deemed inappropriate for a GameSpy site.  Contest is open to anyone except employees of TimeGate Studios, Strategy First, or Gamespy.com. Void where prohibited by law.  Late or non-qualifying entries will not be judged and therefore cannot win prizes. We are not responsible for lost or misdirected entries. Prizes announced at time of winning and cannot be transferred or substituted. The contest organizers have the right to adapt these rules as needed and reserve the right to do so. Any questions or complaints may be sent to Chimaeros. Please allow 24 hours for a response as time restraints may apply.

 

Kohan Categories


The Forgotten

Kohan that could easily fit into the world of Khaldun but were somehow overlooked by the TimeGate wizards.  Backgrounds, statistics, and powers should be consistent with what you would expect to find within the game.

The Sublime

Anything that you wouldn’t see in Khaldun, for example, Kohan inspired by characters of fiction and film.  Any genre is possible.  Please give appropriate credit where necessary.

The Ridiculous

The outlandish and bizarre…these are the heroes that TimeGate locked out of the auditions.  Humor is the basis of this category.  For an example, see the Animator’s Gift parody’s Bugs Bunny inspired Kohan. 
Please give appropriate credit where necessary.
