CHARACTER 005 - HALCYON HOLGATE [The Stupendium]
"What were you expecting? The cosmos-crossing capitalist themself, HALCYON HOLGATE, has touched down on Earth to compete here and now… though mainly just to make bank. They’ve capitalized on modern trends, heavy-duty weaponry, and viral entertainment, so a simple music tournament isn’t too out of reach for them. It’s obvious he’s earned the right to claim victory, but in the end, it’s up to the audience to choose whether or not to invest in his success."

CHARACTER 004 - PETE "THE PLUG" CONLAN [Dimension 20]
"Start spreadin’ the news: the Vox Fantasma himself, PETE CONLAN, has entered the competition. It’s been close to five years since he’s taken up his role as a guardian of the unsleeping city, and has been off drugs for about… half that time. But he’s on a good streak, and ready to show the world what he’s made of, from tabletop to hip-hop and everything in between.

CHARACTER 002 - DUEL [ScottTheWoz, Persona, AO3]
"Hey all, DUEL here! Don’t let appearances fool you; this version of ScottTheWoz has been through some weirder circumstances than his other tournament counterparts. Trapped within the world of Persona by forces beyond, he’s reluctantly taken up the mantle of Phantom Thief, and has the jazzy vibes to prove it. If he can’t breakout of this metaphorical prison, the very least he can do is take home the gold, and prove once and for all that he’s not an RPG guy… maybe."

Welcome To Being F**ked

CHAD: "J-Just so you know, after everything we've been through, there's nothing that you could do that could scare me more than what's already scared me. I'm ready to face you head-on, no matter the cost. It's time the world knew the truth."
NZ: "Listen here, you right-wing paranoid fuck. Do you understand the shit I've had to go through? The sacrifices I've made?! I'm gonna do this for the others. For EVERYONE. And if saving the world means kicking the shit out of ANYONE who gets in my way? ...I'm going to FUCK. YOU. UP."

...PHOTOGRAPH defeated The Wanderer, Calculester Hewlett-Packard, and Miku Holly.
...WARMONGER NAZARETH defeated Halcyon Holgate, Athletic Doctor, and Wally Darling.
...COMEBACK against NULL. Bizarre internet media against plunderphonics. One stands, one falls.
...This is going to be something greater than you've ever imagined.

[SHOWDOWN! BUSTING THE CRYPT vs MARCHING INTO WAR PHASE 1] CRYPT-KICKERZ

“Warmonger Nazareth is yet another song OC, this time based around a single pre-existing mashup. The song was made for Activision & FreeStyleGames’ “DJ Hero 2”, being a mix of Edwin Starr’s “War” and Justice’s “Waters of Nazareth”.
“She defeated Halcyon Holgate in a match with the most votes that round. She had a rough time against the Harrowing Host, but defeated Athletic Doctor in a very close match. Her showdown against The American Dream was a sight to behold… and eventually, she managed to defeat Wally Darling by a solid amount. She fared just as well against Home, with the help of her fellow fighters… but ended up losing to photograph by a very small margin, resulting in her elimination and 3rd Place, er, placement.”
