Welcome one and all to my annual Christmas giveaway (bit earlier this year).

** PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE ENTERING **

To enter this giveaway you need to create a character for me. To do this you need to give your character a name. You also need to tell me what your character is - for example, he could be a giant bunny with psychic powers. Maybe a human accountant with the power to bore people to sleep.
Yes, you need to tell me what your characters special powers are and also any weaknesses they may have.

I will then pair everyones characters against each other and they will fight to see who progresses to the next round.
Each fight will be decided by a dice roll performed by myself, so creating a 200 foot tall robot as your character doesn't automatically guarantee it will win its fight. This will carry on until we have a champion.

I will list the games that are available in this giveaway shortly. They will be given out using random.org so don't worry if you lose your fight in the first round, you still have an equal chance of winning a game.
The exception are the top four fighters at the end of the contest, they get a special prize each instead of one of the listed games.
Please list the games you are entering for in order of preference.

** PLEASE MAKE SURE CHAT SETTINGS ARE PUBLIC OR ADD ME AS A FRIEND **

Exceptionally generous as always Doc! My character is called McCadbury. He's approximately 6ft tall, has a huge moustache and dark purple skin. His special ability is an aura that turns any enemy within it into chocolate after which he promptly devours them growing +10% in size & power each time. His only known weakness is poison.

Thank you. And best of luck everyone!

Good one, thank you very much!
I'm in for... nothing but a good fight.
My character is Skreetch Bonefoot, a crippled and short-sighted goblin. His main weakness is that he somehow always manages to hurt himself in ridiculous ways before the fight: Starts every combat injured.

Matilda Zendias is a minotaur alchemist. She fights by throwing glass spheres full of potions and poisions. Her favourite concoction is one that makes the target's feet levitate while increasing the weight of their gear, normally resulting in a foe being stuck upside-down in midair. Her secret weakness is that she's allergic to all known alchemical catalysts, meaning she can never use beneficial potions on herself, and would be affected even more negatively if one of her spheres splashed on her. Fortunately, minotaurs are strong, and she has a very good throwing arm.

I'd like to enter for (in order of preference, updated 03/01):
> Baldur's Gate III
> The Outer Worlds + Season Pass
> Phoenix Point: Year One Edition
> Project Wingman
> Desperadoes III

Generously beyond belief, just as you always perform, Doc! ;)
Thank you for unleashing this shower of games!

My character's name is Mr. Fiddlesticks, a middle aged human in old torn clothes.
Power: Turning pockets inside out and making a sad face which makes everyone that's looking cry very hard.
Weakness: Doesn't have a dime, obviously. In weak physical/mental shape since hasn't eaten for days.

I'm in for (ordered by preference):
Disco Elysium
Dawn of Man
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition
Kingdom Come: Deliverance Royal Edition

Another new great game from Doc!
Last year's dungeon escape was really fun, I'm looking forward to this one!

My character: Grndrgnrrgrlbdr from RRRULGRBRRGDRR. For Humans, Dr. Stone will suffice.
You see, Grndrgnrrgrlbdr (from now on Dr. Stone) is part of a sentient species coming from planet RRRULGRBRRGDRR composed entirely of inorganic materials, mostly minerals in the core with a good amount of metal growing as a thick external armor.
It has been recently classified as the very first non-carbon based life form by Earth scientists, yet the "Rockies" have been around for billion of years, actually pioneering space travels by riding asteroids and comets in their own prehistory.
Since they have absolutely no need for food or water, being able to reshape themselves at will (exception made for their innermost crystal, which acts like a brain or a processor core unit), they really didn't care to develop technology until the rest of the universe started coming close.
Gone are the good old days where they could explore Space undisturbed and come back home from their trips a few millions year later, now everything goes so fast!

Dr. Stone is the first xeno-archeo-biologist of its species, traveling wherever it can find new civilizations to record their uses, history and trivia.

Very gentle, educated and with a bright, open mind, it never rushes into a fight... mostly because it's virtually indestructible, being that it can reshape at will and form armor so thick a nuclear blast would be powerless.
Its real enemy comes from gravity: more often than not, it's way too heavy to assume a stable resistant form in 1G or higher environments, so it's forced to stay smaller and leave its energy core (source of its individuality) much more exposed than it would like.
It's a real pacifist though, so it hopes it won't have to worry about that. The strategy is "waiting it out", since he can move freely and transform into every inorganic surface, travelling to the center of the planet and waiting for centuries to do their course included.

I would like to enter for (in order of preference):

-SpellForce 3 + SpellForce 3: Soul Harvest
-INSOMNIA: The Ark

-Warhammer 40k Mechanicus Omnissiah (or regular) edition
-Horizon: Zero Dawn
-Operencia: The Stolen Sun – Explorer’s Edition
-Chronos Before the Ashes
-Metro Exodus
-Timespinner

Thank you!

I'm Bug. I don't have any special powers, but people often overlook me. And when they finally find me, things already went horribly wrong for them. I confuse them and their actions just don't turn out as intended anymore. This'll eventually drive them crazy.

My weaknesses: Mere mortals can't really get rid of me, but... they can just walk around me, which'll prevent me from showing up. And if they can get in contact with my creators, they'll give them the tools to patch me up - even though I'm not even hurt - and make me disappear once and for all :'(

In for:
Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition
A Plague Tale: Innocence
Prey: Digital Deluxe Edition

Character
The name is... Well, let it be Mafon*.

He is a crazy ex-DJ who replaced his arms with cybernetic prostheses containing parts from Soviet synthesizers called "Polivoks".

With these prostheses, he can generate directional, destructive sound waves that can even rip an enemy apart if both arms are combined for a powerful attack.

His main weakness is electrical attacks, which can disable his prostheses (each separately or both at once).

* - Mafon is a Russian slang analogue of boombox/ghettoblaster.
