BENSON SWEEP PLEASE GET HIM IN THE POLL

Preliminaries: Miscellaneous (Group O)

Top 3 Will Advance to Bracket

Character Profiles:

(may include spoilers)

Eikichi Onizuka (Great Teacher Onizuka) Area(s) of Specialty: Homeroom, Social Studies, Life Lessons Notable Students: Holy Forest Academy Class 3-4 Endorsements:

“He has the title Great Teacher. He is great. He is a former gang leader who is now teaching in very unconventional ways. He teaches outcasts, troublemakers that no one wants to deal with. He teaches them about life and morals. Quotes from Onizuka: "When a teacher’s student is in danger, he can become almost superhuman." "SHUT UP!!! There’s a girl out here dying and all you can think about is your career!? There’s a word for teachers like you! GARBAGE!! Call the police! Call the Board of Education! Call anyone you like! Just don’t you dare call yourself a teacher. Not in front of me. Not ever again!!" A bit info in homeroom teachers in Japan and this media: Homeroom in Japanese schools forms a greater part of students' lives, with homeroom teachers acting as a substitute parent in many ways. Students usually have the same homeroom teacher and fellow students during their entire life at a given school. Students are expected to take on tasks for their homeroom, including cleaning, day duty (note-taking and classroom organization), and the organization of competitive events between homeroom classes. Teachers and administrators provide personal, social or health advice. Homerooms differ in their nature, depending on the country and the specific school.”

Arthur "Chips" Chipping (Goodbye, Mr. Chips) Area(s) of Specialty: Classical Languages (Greek & Latin) Notable Students: Students at Brookfield School Endorsements:

“Mr. Chips is a teacher who impacts generations of students at Brookfield.”

He’s incredibly caring and protective of his students, and willing to go to great lengths to defend them (see: The Dancer On The Bridge arc). He’s also incredibly passionate about equality within education, doing his best to provide opportunities for talented youngsters who may not be in a financial position to attend college a chance to learn. (He’s also doing his very best to reform society with his brothers. You don’t get better than him.)”

Poopsie

he’s my best friend please consider him he’s awesome he’s such an underrated beanie baby. I’ve carried him everywhere since I was a kid. he’s basically a ripoff of Winnie the Pooh and because of this he’s known as one of the most controversial beanie babies of all time. I’ve seen people make fun of his name which is dumb, do they also make fun of Winnie the Pooh? as with all beanie babies, his beans make him slightly posable. he’s so awesome I love him and everyone I show him to loves him also. Thank you. 

Lamar

a pterodactyl danny daydreamed about on a date. when he’s tired of flying he drives a car. he’s a nurse and his job is on the line because he’s gonna be late. he has a wife but she is always treating him poorly. he will probably have to go back to night school :(

OOH YES I LOVE THIS

Welcome to the Virtual Character Tournament!

Wanna find out who the #1 character of 1's and 0's is? That's what we're gonna find out. Welcome to the Virtual Character Tournament!

The classification can be a bit vague, so let's get into the rules and definitions.

A virtual character is described as a character existing in a digital space (classified by the narrative as such) who primarily operates within said space.

They can have a physical form in some capacity, but it cannot take precedence over their virtual form. (If they do not have a singular physical form and are known to body-hop, that's fine.)

A franchise can have up to 3 representatives.

Be respectful of other people. The characters are fictional, but the people rooting for them are not.

No n*zis, t*rfs, tr*nsphobes, or any other related bigots. Not even as an easy springboard for another character to win.

I say virtual characters due to stipulation against AI. AI could work, but in this case, I mean fictional AIs that exist for all kinds of narrative purposes, and not current modern AIs, which exist to let techbros steal from people and cross moral boundaries.

I guess while I'm on that, let's talk about franchises or properties that are excluded from the running.

Real life AIs (ChatGBT, etc.)

South Park

Minecraft SMP

Ender's Game

TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise

Harry Potter (Unlikely to appear. I'm just covering my bases)

Also, while these characters can still be submitted, do so primarily for propaganda, as they will already be included.

Megaman.EXE (Mega Man Battle Network)

Ai (Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains)

Cortana (Halo)

Other than that, if you have any further questions, submit them to my ask box, and then I'll answer them there and the form accordingly.

DEADLINE TO GET YOUR CHARACTERS IN IS AUGUST 31ST! SO LET'S GO!

Lastly, tagging other great tournaments, like @fandomanimatic-tournament, @mattbracket, @elementspecificcharatourney, @retirement-home-rumble, @sharp-teeth-swag, @enemies-to-allies-tournament...and my past tournament, @elderlytourney!
