Hmm pretty cool contest. Not quite clear on the one liner though. Maybe after some examples are seen. I'd love to get a character plate like those.

It's one sentence, in thirty words or less, that describes your character in any way you'd like; first person, third person, visual description, thought process, history blurb, anything.
For Agge, a quickie (not much thought put into it) could be:
quickie history:
Aggelakis was afflicted by a magical memory-wipe spell at the hands of a group of mysterious mystics, and retains information only after much repetition.
(25 words)
quickie thought process:
My contact sent me on this mission, as I can tell by the notes in my activity diary, but I'll be darned if I really remember what I'm doing here.
(30 words)
Remember, do not post your "official entry" one-liners here. Send a note to me on dA or in a PM here. Feel free to post one-liners that you don't want considered for the contest though.

Today's the last day for the contest...I've got nine entries so far. Cut-off time is sometime around 9pm ish Eastern/1am ish GMT.
I'll post all of the entries and the winners tomorrow or Sunday. At least three entries will get a "character plate" made. Note: the winners are subjective, so who you think should get one won't necessarily match who I think should.

ZEE WINNARS
Soul_Train with Soul Train:
In a world ruled by greed, plagued by injustice, and starving for style, SHE arrived, and they called her "The First Lady of Funk": SOUL TRAIN!
I can totally hear LaFontaine voicing-over with this...
DeviousMe with Sabre Vern:
"You do realize that by telling me it's impossible, you're just begging me to do it, regardless of the horrible consequences obvious to anyone with two working brain cells?"
This actually made me 'laugh out loud', which honestly doesn't happen very often!
Mylia_Stenetch with Mylia Stenetch:
The Vessel of lost souls, but devoid of her own.
This is brilliant in its simplicity. While it doesn't actually describe the character, it tells a LOT about her.
Other Entries
EnnVee with EnnVee:
"Let my elven ways free your tortured soul!"
Bubbawheat with Burnt Matchstick:
Emily's inner flame may have almost burned out when she was a young child, but her outer flame now burns all those that get in her way.
Rachelthulu with Cobalt Constable:
Constable Jolene Crane was granted amazing strength and born with a good heart but lacks the invulnerability of most superstrong heroines and must use an impervium shield to defend herself.
moisedroid with Mr Piddles and Kelly:
The super-intelligent mutant kitten, Mr. Piddles loved his owner Kelly so much that when she was killed by Babbage, he reanimated her corpse so they could fight crime together!
Kheldarn with Savannah Nightwolf:
"It's OK, I'm Powered By Debt™!"
Angel_Red with Sable Drift:
"I also do weddings."

Hehe, thanks for picking mine to be one of the ones who won. I am truly glad that you liked my one liner.
This was a nice little contest. I hope you do more like it in the future!

Does the last bullet item mean we should send you a screen cap(s) of the character in one of those poses?
(Sometimes, I wish there could be a Dev thumbs up button for quality posts, because you pretty much nailed it.) -- Ghost Falcon
Give me a one-liner that describes your favorite character. Either your favorite character ever, or your current flavor of the week, or who you think is your best designed character...or any character, really. Make it as descriptive as possible...a short monologue by the character, a third-person visual description, or quickie history commentary...anything you can think of.
Note me your entry through deviantart if you have it, otherwise I will accept private messages through the forums here. I would PREFER deviantart notes, as they're easier for me to keep track (I don't like the PM system here), so if you have one, please please use it instead of PMing me here.
I'll make a Character Plate of my favorite one-liners. (Depends on how many I really like...minimum of three.) This means that the character described in the one-liner gets the character plate...the winning players do not get to choose!
RULES
-- One entry per person.
-- One sentence. Compound sentences (two sentences combined via semi-colon or other trickery) don't work. X but Y sentences (two sentences combined via "but") are acceptable.
-- Thirty words or less. The fewer, the better, but "A blood-drinking, red demon!" is too generic and probably won't win.
-- Hyphenated words count either as one ("un-good") or two ("double-plus") words, depending on usage ("double-plus un-good" is three words)
-- Must be SFW. No graphic sex, unnecessary gore, or etc. descriptions.
-- Any one-liners posted to this thread will be thrown out. Only dA notes and PMs here will be counted as serious entries. Feel free to post silly one-liners here, though!
CONTEST ENDS FRIDAY. I live in Seattle, so around 9pm Eastern (6pm Pacific, 1am GMT). I'll post at the cutoff time. Yes, you can change your one-liner before the deadline if you think of something better. After the cutoff, no changes will be accepted.
I will post all of the eligible one-liners along with the winners sometime on Saturday or Sunday, along with contacting the winners regarding the details of their character plates. Character plates will take varying amounts of time, anywhere from a couple hours to a few days, depending on the level of demo-hack learning I have to do.
