The Task 5 Mandatory character this round MUST be an evil character/villain/antagonist. They will come in during Task 5 as the antagonist - details will be further explained about what they're going to do, in Task 5. Because they're coming in during Task 5 as an antagonist - aka a BAD GUY - they are not captured and for story line purposes must have found their way to Earth either in modern day, in the 1100s, 1700s, or Panem at the end of their story.

With your idea points you can buy a character from the fandoms list, or a character from fandoms that involve crime shows (example, Law and Order, Criminal Minds -either version- , NCIS, CSI, Dateline, JAG, Rookie Blue, Sherlock, Walker Texas Ranger, LA Law, etc). Remember which Fandoms you have used and cannot repeat and which ones you can.

Those of you who handed in before the new year can make three characters from any Fandom you choose, whether it's on the list or not. Those people are: JesterheadJohnSnow, Several7s, wordsmith, OliviaBinfield, jesusfreak202, animallover1321.

Those of you who won the award Bushido can make a character who knows a hero from any book or movie. Those of you who won Bushido are: JesterheadJohnSnow, Several7s, jesusfreak202, TARDIS_at_221B_, animallover1321.

Those of you who won the award Shinsengumi can tweak a main character from a list of Fandoms and you may change the storyline to fit this main character as your character now. The list you may choose from is: Star Wars, Shadowhunters (TMI, TID, TDA), Spartacus, Avatar the Last Airbender, Hakouki, Game of Thrones, House of Night, Smallville, Fallen, and Fairy Tail. The people who won this award and can do this are: JesterheadJohnSnow, Several7s, wordsmith-, jesusfreak202, TARDIS_at_221B_, animallover1321.

Those of you who won the award Moments can pick one of their favorite moments in any Fandom on the list and create an extra character that witnessed that moment. This character can fit in with that Fandom's storyline however you want - even if it changes the story a bit. The people who won this award are: JesterheadJohnSnow, Several7s, wordsmith-, OliviaBinfield, jesusfreak202, TARDIS_at_221B_, animallover1321.

Anyone who chose Version 1 can have ten more Idea Points and these can be used to buy characters from Fandoms that are pre-approved by me, as well ones on the List or the law fandoms listed above.

Anyone who chose Versions 2 or 3 can make a character from a comedy movie (not a rated R-comedy) or a really sad movie.

EVERYONE may choose to create two more characters that is a relative of a character that just died. EVERYONE may also create one character that replaces a character who just died so that you can reuse their Fandom.

wordsmith, Ozrakh has forced two brothers onto your team, powerful brothers from a mysterious land. These two brothers, their story, and if they have a companion with them, are up to you to invent, but Fiona has been given the responsibility of two brothers that Ozrakh despises. Why is entirely up to your imagination.

Several7s, The Unseelie King has a special and mysterious prisoner that he has finally wished to join the games. He took his time and carefully decided to place him under Midnight's care. Who this prisoner is, why they were there, and everything about them, is entirely up to you to create.

OliviaBinfield, Count Dooku has a Jedi prisoner and two annoying Bounty Hunters that he has been wanting to be rid of. He cannot decide between them, so he's presenting these three before your mentor and allowing him to choose one, two, or all three of them to join your team. Who these three are (as long as they're a Jedi and two bounty hunters), are entirely up to you, as well as how they ended up being Count Dooku's prisoner.

animallover1321, Zai managed to convince Fire Lord Ozai not to execute three prisoners of his and instead chose to allow Sage to choose one, two, or all three of these prisoners to include on her team. Who they are and how they became Fire Lord Ozai's prisoners, are entirely up to you (and yes, they can come from any realm, not just the Four Nations).

JesterheadJohnSnow, Avek found two very special and ancient Dark Jedi and with his skills and Dooku's combined, they were able to subdue and capture these two Dark Jedi. Avek has decided they are both to be on Kortana's team, whether she wants them or not. Who they are and how they ended up prisoner, are entirely up to you (so long as they lost the duel with Avek and Dooku which resulted in their capture in the end).

TARDIS_at_221B_, Kaellyr has sent two siblings from the Unseelie lands to be part of your team whether your mentor likes it or not. Who these siblings are and why they were prisoners in the Unseelie Lands is up to you (yes, they can be from any realm on the Fandoms list). They have to be siblings and ended up prisoners in the Unseelie lands.

jesusfreak202, Vymik has kept three prisoners of his own and now has given Isaac a choice on one, two, or three of them to include on his team. Who they are is entirely up to you to invent (yes they can be from any realm, not just Westeros), so long as they have some connection to dragons (even the most miniscule connection).

EVERYONE WHO ISNT SPONSORED: King Sargon himself, who has been very elusive up until this point, has had several prisoners that he decided would be an interesting addition to the games. Each of you may add two new characters from ANY realm or Fandom on the list (do not worry about repeats) as long as these two characters somehow became Sargon's prisoner at the end of their backstory.

Anyone who was balloted can make a character from any kids movie or drama (any drama or chick flick).

Anyone who was not balloted can make a character from any book so long as that character exists within that book's world.

If you don't like the perk that you received for either being balloted or not being balloted, then you may do the opposite. For example, if you weren't balloted but you don't read books, you could use the balloted perk and make a character from a kids movie or drama. Or if you were balloted and you hate kids movies or dramas, then you can take the not balloted perk and make a character from a book.

Here are a list of artifacts that have been included in Fandoms thus far:

- Any one of the eighteen artifacts in the Disney realm from the Sponsorship Task - remember the artifacts that you took - you should only have up to two of them from here. If you need a reminder, look at the Sponsorship Task chapter.

- From Task One either the One Ring, the Ruby Slippers, or a lionskin from Lord of the Rings, Wizard of Oz, and Percy Jackson

- From Task Two a keychain and ultility belt of a Titan Hunter, a can of salt, a rudius from Attack on Titan, Supernatural, and Spartacus

- From Task Three a pure white and pure black tiger, a fallen angel named Patch, Celaena Sardothien, one of the four children of Narnia, and Merry and Pippin or Fili and Kili from the Tiger's Curse series, the Hush Hush series, the Throne of Glass series, the Narnia series, and the Lord of the Rings series.

- From Task Four a bottle of the water of life, a zanpakto, Nobunaga's sword Demon King, an Assassin's outfit from Hakouki, Bleach, the Samurai Warriors game, and the Assassin's Creed franchise

If one of your characters has taken any of these objects, then you may create a character within that Fandom for free without worrying about Idea Points or copying a fandom you've already done before. You may only make a character from the world of an artifact you have actually picked up before. (Future warning - you may want to include artifacts in the future because I will be doing more of these in future character creation tasks).

If you commented on the scores and feedback chapter, you may create one extra free character. If you commented on the awards and rankings chapter, you may create another free character. If you comment on this chapter, you may create another free character.

EVERYONE:

If you have exhausted all options and used up and made as many characters as possible this round, then you may create three free characters from your own imagination. Each one may have a companion accompanying them. Anyone who creates these three characters will receive either an additional one point added onto their task score per free character, an extra 500 words on word count per free character, or an extra one day extension to be late next task without penalty. You must either choose the extra point, the extra word count, or the extension. And remember you can only make the free characters if you have exhausted all other character creation options.

If you make them, then you may make a talking magical creature (before you were only allowed to create talking animals). This creature can talk and can be magical. Examples: dragons, griffins, hyppogriffs, phoenixs, unicorns, pegasai, etc.

PLEASE REMEMEMBER THIS:

I know juggling multiple characters is severely hard, especially for those of you reaching well above the fifty range. Next round, we will have a higher amount of characters to kill off and here are some tips in helping you juggle them:

You don't have to mention all of your characters. Not all of them has to be a main character. You don't have to go to every single character's POV. Just pick a few of your favorites to bounce around. Have your characters mingle in groups within your entire team - like cliques. It makes it easier to include more characters that way.

If you need any more tips or advice, please let me know. :) Remember there's going to be a very special award handed out at the finals awards for whoever has the highest amount of characters.

DUE DATE: MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 6PM CENTRAL 2018!
