[align=center][/align]

 

In these times of toil and trouble, Eorzea is in need of new heroes. Beautiful heroes, with talent and ambition. Are you the one Eorzea is waiting for?   

 

 

Join the speakers Athil Thorne & Maril Hawker on Saturday the 23rd at 6:30 pm EDT (11:30pm BST/3:30pm PDT) and show off your stuff. Don't have stuff to show? Don't worry! The ultimate decision will be done by public vote, it wouldn't be Eorzeas most coveted titles without the input from Eorzeans!

 

The how to:

Two rounds of the competition will be held. Contestants must sign up in advance to secure their spot. On the day of the event contestants will first be paraded off in the Bikini round, consisting of a brief walk on stage with a pose. Once the audience has been warmed up by the gorgeous looks, the Talent round will begin.

In the talent round you will have 3 minutes to execute something that shows off your best ability. We do politely request that no offensive magic or weapons are used on stage.

 

The Winners take home a prize of 500.000 gil each!

And! They each get a sketch portrait from 50moodsofgrey. Go check out their stuff!

Thanks to the Easte Eerie Trading Company, there's now also a full Taoist set to each winner as well as one Non La hat for the first runner ups!

 

During the competition, four judges will look on for a personal favorite. When these four favorites have been picked at the end of the Talent round, they will be announced along with the reason why they were picked. Then, the four finalists will be up for the final hurdle - the vote of the public! People in attendance of the event will line up in front of the one they want to see crowned with the title of Mister or Miss Eorzea

 

Rough timeline (The timeline does not have anything to do with the sign up):

Organizers Note:

In order to keep the event on an agreeable schedule, pre-planned emotes for the Bikini and Talent round are encouraged. The time allotment of 3 minutes will start once your character is on the stage.

A vaguely related question on this as the player of the confused little potato who somehow won the last Mr. Eorzea competition... I remember being approached at some point when plannings for the next one were being made about Chachan ending up as one of the judges. Was that a separate group or are you working with those folks, Maril?

 

Because the idea of the little dork having to pick favorites amuses me and I was curious if that was still on the table. :lol:

Character Name:

 

W'chaza Yheli

 

Introduction:

 

Composed, classy, and a character to boot.

 

W'chaza Yheli is a traveler and purveyor of many culinary treats including, but not limited to, tea, coffee, apple tarts, and chocolate. Trained as both a culinarian and a swordsman--an odd combo, to be sure--she knows her way around both a kitchen knife and a blade and uses both with uncanny precision. Despite her appearance and propensity to wear fashionable clothing and robes, she even has a Grindstone victory on her list of achievements.

 

Yheli likes cooking, reading, writing, tinkering--with foods primarily, but sometimes crafts--as well as sweets and exploring.

"I believe in you. No matter what may come. Unless that 'what' is incredibly damning evidence, then good luck buddy!"
