The primaries are over, and I have determined the candidates from each company based on your votes. So here are the actual candidates for the title of Prime Hero:
Marcus Fenix (Microsoft, Gears Of War)
Cole McGrath (Sony, inFamous)
Chrom (Nintendo, Fire Emblem: Awakening)
Ameratsu (Independent, Okami)
Each of these four will now need to be assigned to someone to carry out a campaign. This campaign is to include speeches (blog posts), debates, and of course any visual aids that help to get the people on this character's side, each done from the perspective of the character rather than just a fan of that character. The same goes for the following four candidates for Supreme Villain:
The Witch (Microsoft, Left4Dead)
Sephiroth (Sony, Final Fantasy VII)
Bowser (Nintendo, Super Mario)
Joker (Independent, Batman: Arkham Asylum)
At a minimum, I'm looking for at least two people to take on the role of a hero or villain. Any character that doesn't have someone speaking for them in this campaign will simply be considered to have dropped out, so we need at least two heroes and two villains to continue. I will take one role myself of course, but I won't choose my role until you guys have had a while to pick yours. Roles are first come, first serve.
Remember for your campaigns that these are not simple support blogs like in the VG Tourney; you are taking on the role of this character and making speeches. You can promote your own qualities or trash your opponents, just remember to stay in character. The election will be held on August 1st.
Sign up below if you are interested in taking on a role and hitting the campaign trail.
