Discord and Google Docs are not a safe place for archival.
3.) Create a comic of your OC(s) entering the setting of the tournament in 12 panels or less. The exact method they get on the island is secondary to the fact that they’re on the island now and cannot leave.

Hazel van Gavaar chasing down a humanoid figure via golf carts. See that grey, vaguely human-ish shape in the lead golf cart screaming for their life? That could be you! Or, at least, that could be an original character of yours. That’s the idea. It could be anyone behind the wheel of that golf cart. I think Stan Lee said that once.

Mister Bear Age: 27 Pronouns: he/him Height: 5’10” The young entrepreneurial son or nephew (nobody’s quite sure) of the resort’s owner. Mister Bear is the proud host of a successful streaming channel and suggested that the best way to get a large injection of money was through a most dangerous game. He is always smiling. Though that smile never reaches his eyes. What goes on in that mind of his...

The Butler Bugs Age: 5 Pronouns: any/all Height: 5’ 5” The Butler Bugs - if, in fact, there are more than the one - are repurposed manufacturing robots eager to serve. Their antennae pick up commands from anyone who seem to need a butler anywhere on the island. Upon receiving what they interpret as a command, they will collapse into a ball and roll as fast as possible towards whatever it seems needs butlering. They are quite excited about being a butler, but do not understand all the ways humans are different than cars. They are just as likely to give you a good greasing as polish your silverware. Their fingers are manipulative into many tools, such as welding torches, whisks, hairbrushes, an… is that a gun?

Beachside view of the Sunny Grand Resort. Here’s a fun fact, did you know Bananas used the palm trees from Green Hill Zone as inspiration?
Sandy Hike Trails dimly lit by the night sky. There’s apparently some sort of monster that’s said to prowl around the island, but I’m not supposed to tell you about that yet.
Inside view of one of the many resort rooms, complete with complementary mini fridge. Have you played Portal 2? It’s not really relevant but I was just curious.
One of the many flag holes on the resort’s golf course. Did I mention it was a sea monster? Sorry I realized that might have been misleading considering the footprints from earlier. Those are unrelated.

Sungwon Bear Age: 47 Pronouns: he/him Height: 4” 06’ Founder and owner of the Island Getaway Resort. While normally the facilitation of games of the most dangerous variety are counter-productive to Sungwon’s usual business strategies, the many tax benefits that have been brought to his attention have been hard to ignore for the struggling entrepreneur.

Out in the middle of the ocean there’s a beautiful tropical paradise known as Sunbear Island. On it sits a magnificent hotel known as Island Getaway Resort, or the IGR. Founded by the old but thrifty Sungwon Bear, this resort boasts amenities such as beaches, pools, restaurants, hiking trails through sandy-floor jungles, rooms and villas of all kinds, and a professional golf course. It’s all serviced by the state of the art line of robotic bug butlers! The accommodations are not cheap, but they provide an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience. However, the business has been struggling. The upkeep for this level of luxury is costly, and after Sungwon made a series of bad investments, the business is failing. Fortunately for him, his head of security and professional ‘manhunter,’ Hazel van Guevara, along with Sungwon’s… Son(?) Nephew(??), Mister Bear, came up with a way out of this predicament: a battle royale to the death! Mister Bear would get revenue from streaming the event live, and Sungwon would get a tax write off for history when it’s all over. It’s the perfect plan! Now the island is set up for an every-person-for-themselves-free-for-all battle royale, with the Bears and staff watching over the event. Maybe you came to the island unaware of this event, or you wash das note from a shipwreck. It’s possible you were an unlucky member of the staff that didn’t get off the island in time. Perhaps you got lured in here by someone with the promise of money. Whatever the reason, there’s no escape now! Will you be the hunter, or the hunted??

Hazel Van Gevaar Age: 26 Pronouns: she/her Height: 6’6” Hazel is a hired mercenary working for Sungwon Bear’s island resort. She also came up with the idea of the Battle Royale, and will hunt contestants who fall out of line. The Van Geveers were the greatest family of “manhunters” to ever live. At the age of 3, Hazel hunted her first man, at the age of 13 she outhunted both of her parents, and at the age of 22, after 3 years of nonstop struggle, she killed the most dangerous human being on Earth: her grandma. Underestimate her at your own peril.

Island Getaway OCT Get ready for vacation you won’t soon forget! We promise double the fun every round. That’s because you only get twelve panels in your audition, but the number doubles every round! I.e. round one has a twenty five panel limit, round two has fifty panels, and so on. This is to create an OCT experience where participation isn’t such a massive commitment in early rounds. Plus, it’s a fun challenge to see how much story you can tell in a short amount of space! We hope to see lots of new creators dip their toes into the OCT community! Audition: 12 panels Round One: 25 Panels Round Two: 50 Panels Round Three: 100 Panels Round Four: 200 Panels Round Five: 500 Panels Enjoy your stay!
