Round 5 Match 3

Propaganda:

Death

He is literally a skeleton. The fact that he is only bones and nothing else is a significant thing that is brought up a lot. He has a rat who is also just bones. He has been doing his job as the anthropomorphic personification of death for a long time and has grown fond of humans, which sometimes gets in the way of him doing his job all that well, but he is much better than any of the alternatives thst crop up from time to time.

Jack Skellington

he's the king of the pumpkin patch!

Round 5 Match 2

Propaganda:

Harrowhark Nonagesimus (spoilers)

She is THE bone lady. The supreme bone lord. Her entire shtick is bones, as corroborated by multiple other characters throughout the books. She can literally do things with bones that no other necromancer is capable of, and that's before she [spoiler-fueled power upgrade].

Our girl decorates with bones. She gets turned on by growing someone a new bone arm. She's the greatest bone magician there ever was. She's so good with bones it makes god nervous.

she's a necromancer, specifically a bone adept and my god does she love bones. she can make skeleton armies out of powder and puppet dead people so that they look alive. she grew one of her frenemies a new arm just right there on the spot because why not. she's also super edgy and wears black all the time and i love her

Made soup out of her own marrow to make skeletons explode out of someone's stomach. Noone is doing it like her

She does bones, motherfucker.

WE DO BONES, MOTHERFUCKER

Skulduggery Pleasant (spoilers)

he's so we do bones he brought himself back from the dead. AND THEN changed his name to skulduggery to match with his skeleton lifestyle better. he's irish. he used to be great at motivational speeches but now he sucks so bad at them. his skull isn't actually his skull it's someone else's. he wears bespoke suits. he drives a variety of classic cars. he is an incredibly powerful wizard, but also just has a gun that he uses. he can speak Irish Gaelic. his ribcage HAS been used as a xylophone. he's 444 years old.

He's a skeleton in a formal suit and hat. He's a detective. He both carries a revolver and throws fireballs at people. For a long time the accepted reason he was a skeleton was "he's just to ornery to die". He wore someone else's skull for a while, complained that it was noticeably uglier, and was correct. He's sassy enough to trade insults with a teenage girl on a regular basis. How can he not win.

He's literally a living skeleton that does magic, is a detective, and drives around in a cool car. Vote for him

Walking skeleton noir detective, no one is doing bones like this guy.

Round 5 Match 1

Propaganda:

Brook

He's bone for this poll!! Brook is a skeleton man who constantly makes SKULL JOKES!

He is a skeleton. He ate the revive revive fruit, and got revived after he died, but it took so long for his soul to find his body only bones were left. He is also a famous rockstar know as Soul King

He's my favorite Straw Hat Pirate. He's a 90-year-old musician pirate who died 52 years ago, revived, and spent the next 45 years floating aimlessly all alone as a skeleton surrounded by the corpses of his former crew on a broken ship with no rudder. Then he got his shadow stolen and was set adrift again. Then 2 years ago he met Luffy and and became a Straw Hat for, like, a week before they got separated. Then Brook got captured and imprisoned, then became a famous rock star and rejoined the Straw Hats 2 years later. His life sucks but he always perseveres for the sake of his friends and promises made to them. 50 years alone has made him a bit crazy, but he copes by making constant skeleton jokes and playing music. He's a master of fencing and has bardic superpowers to influence people with music, as well as channel the chill of the underworld through his sword to freeze things.

He's literally bones animated by his Soul powers. He loves to make bone joke, has a funny laugh and plays multiple instruments- he even became famous for it in the timeskip and used to belong to a crew of musician pirates before he died and came back as an undead skeleton.

1.) A literal walking, talking skeleton 2.) Makes a bunch of jokes about being a skeleton/not having a specific body part 3.) Banger musician. May not be technically relevant, but I needed you to know.

Leonard "Bones" McCoy

His name is bones and he is a doctor

ALL HE HAS LEFT FROM HIS DIVORCE ARE HIS BONES. The man lost his house, job and daughter. He's a doctor in a space ship and he fucking hates space

his name is LITERALLY bones. he's an old sawbones. his wife took the planet in the divorce - all he's got left are his bones. life regularly bones him.

he has the energy of an old man yelling on his porch and I love him dearly. he cares about people's bones as well as the rest of him. we never get an explanation in the original series for his nickname but I choose to believe there's a very entertaining story behind it involving kirk trying (and failing) to perform hamlet

Round 4 Match 8

Propaganda:

Jared Hopworth

Also called The Boneturner. He read a book and magically acquired the very useful skill of removing people’s bones from their bodies. His voice sounds like he’s gargling stones (or bones, in this case).

- his alias is literally the boneturner -Has the power of boneturning, meaning he can remove people's bones without damaging their skin -He literally took out the main character's rib -his body is described as a large mass of limbs, meat and bones that constantly twist and change

Well he's the Boneturner. He literally got 'bone' in his title. He is a servant of The Flesh, which is an Entity ( eldritch fear god ) that feeds on the fear of meat. I know it sounds dumb said like this but its not the fear of your steak in your plate. Its the terrifying, crippling dread that you are nothing but a gross sack of meats, and bones. That you are nothing special, and that anybody could take that skin off your skeleton and eat it because you are fundamentally just food. It's more of an animalistic fear rather than a human one, and it's especially tied to slaughterhouses. His rapport to bones are multiple, the biggest being in episode 131, where he removes two of the main character's robs, keeping one for himself to use it.

He's spooky bone guy One of his aliases is literally "The Boneturner" He likes to take bones out of people's bodies and turn their bodies into flowers!

Papyrus

is made of bones due to being a skeleton. attacks u with a bunch of bones. he spells out “cool dude” with said bone attacks. hater of bone puns. i also love him. he deserves to win.

He is a skeleton, his song is called bonetrousle, he uses bones to attack. His brother uses a trombone. You can date him.

He's just a really great character who I think gets overlooked or infantilized way too often. He's also made of bones and uses bones in his attacks, so lots of bone theming here!

he is very polite :)

He believes in you

Spoilers for Crooked Kingdom and everything post Netflix SaB! Due to taking an incredibly dangerous drug, her powers over life turn into powers over death. She uses bones akin to telepathic throwing knives and can raise the dead.

Death

He has been doing his job as the anthropomorphic personification of death for a long time and has grown fond of humans, which sometimes gets in the way of him doing his job all that well, but he is much better than any of the alternatives thst crop up from time to time.

Hero's Shade/Hero's Spirit

Also known as "Hero's Spirit" he is heavily, HEAVILY, implied to be the Link from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, who has transformed into a stalfos. He laments about not being remembered as a hero and the only thing he can do now is teach the Link from Twilight Princess his knowledge in swordplay. It's honest quite sad thinking about it, especially since the potential reason this Link turned into a stalfos was getting lost in the Lost Woods as an adult.
