The Player Event Resource Committee Presents:
The Great Makeover: The Vindicators
August 1st to 21st, 2012
There are many Hero and Villain Groups in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, with new ones forming all the time using the latest fashion and equipment in their attire. One of the original groups, The Vindicators, has been in need of some new costumes for quite some time now and are seeking out designers! Your challenge: Makeover The Vindicators!
The Vindicators are a hero group led by Ms. Liberty. They can often be found with Longbow fighting Arachnos in the Rogue Isles. (Wiki Page)
Contestants will only use the in-game character creator to design a "makeover" for any number of The Vindicators listed above. Your goal is to create a set of costumes for the "New" Vindicators. All options in the character creator are fair game, meaning even Paragon Market and Badge earned pieces may be used in the design. Sticking to the lore is important to us, but contestants may even go as far as changing character genders and no matter what changes are made, we would like to know why they were made. Reasoning could be simple or complex, but we want to know what contestants were thinking in why they changed what they did other than the obligatory "It was ugly."
Two entries per global per Vindicator are allowed: @Person can submit two separate Ms. Libertys, but cannot submit a third Ms. Liberty etc..
Non-VIP may enter, but be aware there may be limitations to the amount of INF awarded, or any of the IO sets.
To be considered for the top prize pools, contestants must submit at least an entry for minimum of 4 of the 8 Vindicators.
Judging will be based on: Creativity, Overall Aesthetic, and the tie in to City of Heroes' Lore.
The top 20 entries will receive 100 million INF (Must have at least 4 individual Vindicators)
The top 4 entries will receive an additional 500 million INF (Must have at least 4 individual Vindicators)
The top entry for each of the 8 Vindicator will receive 125 million INF
All entries will be entered into a random IO Set Enhancement drawing which will include, but are not limited to: Numina ++, Miracle +, Steadfast 3%, and LoTG 7.5%.
Contestants can win in each prize pool, but cannot win twice in a given pool!
The submission period is August 1st to 21st, 2012.
Forum posted entries that are NOT posted in the submission thread will NOT be considered.
Each entry must include a global handle, the name of the Vindicator, 3 images or links to images displaying the makeover, and why (reasoning) the changes were made.
The 3 required images should show the Front, Side, and Back of the character.
Please do not submit more than 3 pictures or links per Vindicator.
The submission format can be seen below and there is an example in the submission thread.
If you are posting pictures, please try to keep the width near 300px. If you do not / cannot crop your images then simply post the link rather than have it displayed.

Q- Can I change the gender of a character?
A- You may, but you will need to have a solid story based reason for doing so.
Q- Can I change the name of a character?
A- You may change a character's name, but please provide your reasoning for doing so and how that fits into current (or reasonably predicted) lore.
Q- I don't know how to post a screen shot, can I still enter?
A- You can enter by emailing your screen shots to perc.coh@gmail.com and we will host and post them for you. Please include your global and forum name in the email. You can also make use of free image hosts like: http://www.tinypic.com
Q- Do I need to take the screen shots of the character in the costume creator or can I take an action shot?
A- You may take your screen shots with any background you chose. Please make sure the picture clearly shows the character's new look. Also note, powers (customized or not) will not be judged.
Q- What about weapons?
A- You are welcome to show weapons in your screenshots if you feel it adds to your makeover look.
Q- How exactly do my entries count towards prizes?
A- You can submit up to 16 different costume entries per global (2 per Vindicator). All your entries will count towards the "best of" whichever Vindicator it is. Each set of Vindicators (at least 4) will count towards the top 20 and top 4 prizes. If you choose to create more than 4 costumes per set, your best 4 will be counted and you will get a small bonus for the additional creations.
