Character Creating Contest!!!
Came up with the idea not too long ago and I think it might just work.
I've asked Mytical to be the judge of this contest and he agreed, but please note that because of his current health status things could get a bit complicated.
---------------------------
So, I think it's time for me to explain the rules:
1. This contest is divided into rounds.
2. Each round will last a week.
3. You can create one character per round.
4. You will be given instructions for making a character each round.
5. All characters will be judged by Mytical.
*ROUND 1*
Create any type of character you like (be it a Stone Age Orc or a Cyber Zombie Spellcaster).

I will most likely do something for this if I have the time.
All right, here goes nothing. Hope someone else does this, so I don't win by default; that would be boring.
Name: “Butterball” Bertrand
Gender: Male
Race: Dwarf (though his appearance is anything but dwarflike)
Occupation: Ironhand (a dwarf warlord, in other words), formerly a berserker and adventurer
Appearance: In his heyday, Bertrand was a mountain of a dwarf; indeed, upon meeting him, most would consider him a mountain of a man. Towering over most humans by a good foot or two, his intimidating scowl and ferocious roar famed him throughout the land, as did his incredible strength and prowess with a warhammer. Now, however, he has become something he had despised before; a glutton. Sprawled on a litter, stuffing his face with any food he can lay his pudgy fingers on, he has become so massive some feel he belongs to a grotesquerie; he stands up rarely, and when he does, it is no hasty process, often taking him several minutes to do. His eyes are a cold blue of the mountains, his face, once cold and hard, has now become a soft mass of fat, covered with a thin beard. He has tattoos of dragons on his shoulders, though his eating habits have stretched them in to misshapen blobs few could identify; that is, if he were to ever take off his shirt. As it stands now, or rather, sits now, to take off his shirt now would be as impossible a feat as slaying a mountain wyrm (something Bertrand did twice, and reportedly, in quick succession).
Skills: Once famed for his prowess with a war hammer, nobody knows whether he still has the skill to wield the mighty weapon as he once did. A clever mind, well versed in tactics, this holds true still to this day, even if his mind is a bit dulled by food. Additionally, a somewhat surprising skill is his ability to cook; legend says, he once served a ten course meal to a trio of Cyclopes, before defeating them in combat, as they had become sluggish due to the feast. Though originally they seemed to realize his plan, they soon became too busy gorging themselves on the grandiose banquet to give much thought to the dangerous foe serving them food. Bertrand is also quite the charismatic speaker, that is, when he is not busy stuffing his face with pies and tarts.
Character: In his youth, Bertrand was notoriously quick to anger, almost as if he searched for brawls himself; in the beginning, there were many takers, but word quickly got around of “Backbreaker” Bertrand, and he became one of the most feared dwarves in the land. He enjoyed to brag, and was prideful to the extreme; the ladies did not mind, and, in fact, he was loved for it. Often composed ballads about his heroics, which were made worse by the fact that every non-poetic and unmelodious word was completely true. A frequent visitor of taverns, the dwarf always loved a good celebration, and was notorious for his ability to down drinks. Then, after the promotion, his character changed. No longer the arrogant bragger, he prefers to wallow in compliments of the reputation his former self had built, as he dreamed of better days while chomping off chunks of hunted pig from the mountains. Easy-going, he is no longer the brash self of the old, laughing off insults if they manage to get through the protective barrier his fat provides around his ears.
Background: Raised by one of the many dozens of old dwarf houses, he was no different from the countless other youths who had embarked, upon their ascension to manhood, to seek glory in the world outside of the impossibly tall peaks in which they were raised. However, where they were good, he was better; his skill with a warhammer was undeniably one of the greatest seen by dwarfkind; not since Borlan the Mighty had there been such an impressive warrior. After making a name for himself fighting bandits and warriors and “boring” monsters, he decided to set his name in legend forever. He looked for the mightiest beasts to fight, and then gave them odds so the battle might be fairer; once, Bertrand had lured four hydras to the same spot just so he could fight them all at once. Six years of this lifestyle had not slowed down Bertrand, and when the hordes of the Necromancers invaded the mountains, he decided to join the army. He covered himself in glory in both the battles of the Iron Oak and the Winged Pass, as well as the siege of the Skyfall, but it was at the Canyon of Souls (named so after the battle) that he truly showed what a mighty warrior he was. Outnumbered three to one, the dwarves were being massacred, as their tacticians had no answer for the hordes of skeletons coupled by the ice-cold wraiths, who were four times as high as any dwarf and whose blades burned with cold and sliced through three of them at once. Seven wraiths there were, each wreaking havoc in a different part of the canyon. Bertrand arrived, along with much needed reinforcements, and proceeded to hunt down each wraith and kill it. Then, wounded, he led a counter charge all the way to the camp of the Necromancers; it was located several miles away, and they had to fight through hordes of undying skeletons. Afterward, it took him only two weeks to recover, and he went on to smash through the hordes of undead at King’s Gap, before finishing off the remainder of their horde at the edge of the Ethereal Forest, the domain of the Necromancers themselves. He was offered a post as Ironhand, and, though he did not want to at first, he accepted. A year more of adventuring followed, but time was running out for Bertrand, and soon, he had to settle down. He took a wife, and they had children, two of them, one who grew up to be a mighty warrior, the other a tasty meal for a giant roaming nearby. Bertrand had received the services of the finest servants in the land, and they all tried their best to impress him. The cooks did so more than anyone else, conjuring banquet after banquet, all tasting better than the one before. The dwarf had always eaten a lot, but without his active lifestyle, he grew morbidly obese at a rapid rate, and became the mere shell of the champion he was before. To my knowledge, he still resides in the mountains, happily gorging himself on food; that is, if he has not exploded yet.

Allright. Here's my character. fit for a Sci-fi setting, where a human empire is the main goverment and military power and cold weapons such as swords are still heavily used in combat.
Name:Dorian Wolfenhaart
Race:Human psychic
Age: roughly 24
Occupation: rogue psychic, rebel and hostile alien hunter.
Appearance: Tall, slim athletic build. Right arm and eye are replaced by bionic implants and prosthetics. Long, dark crimson red hair. The remaining organic eye is icy blue. has several large scars on his torso and left arm. ussually wears a specially made armor engraved with runes. on top of it he wears a hooded, but sleeveless robe sewn from alien fabric.
Personality:Is slightly an introvert. appears prideful in his stance and walk. is very cold towards strangers, and doesn't go to trust new people fastly. shows little to no respect to most nobility. is generally seen as a silent tough guy, but he has a warmer side, but only the very chosen few can see it.
Skills and Powers:A potent psychic. his power is of a destructive level. Dorian can influence minds, freeze most objects, set them on fire and tear them apart at will. his mind is a deadly weapon. Also Dorian skilled with sword fighting and throwing knives.
Background:Forced to grow up and survive the slums of a gigapolis is by no means an easy feat to achieve. For Dorian, it was the life that granted him the strenght he needed in his future career. his life changed indeed when he discovered his latent psychic powers. being chosen to seek out and exterminate any threats to the empire was a huge leap for him indeed. by his willpower and pride he achieved what many of his more senior colleagues could not. although the wealth and unlimited resources hadn't gone to his head. compared to his fellow hunters he lives a quite modest life. but still, within his heart, a brooding hatred grows, not only to the enemies of mankind as he believes he is disposing of, but also, the empire that gave him a purpose to strive for.

Here is my criteria for judging a character. How complete the background of the character. Power level (stronger actually lowers points)..what flaws they have..and how original they are.
Based on that criteria here is the results.
In 3rd place - Tale Organa. It was an interesting start, but I think you need more background. I think mostly it is because english is not your first language that it is a little more difficult for you. I liked the idea though.
In 2nd Place - Kipshaz - Only by the slimmest margins, very good character, would have liked a little more information though.
So the winner of this round based on my criteria is Vindicator. Conga rats.
I felt a bit generous this time and decided everybody gets a +qp for participating in the first contest. This may or may not happen again for future contests.

Well, I'm gonna make up a character just for fun (since I've got nothing else to do )
Name: Nathaniel Black
Race: Haliran
Age: 64
Appearance: Even though he has 64 human years, Nathaniel looks as if he has 30 because he actually has 30 Haliran years. Short and agile describe him the best for Halirans are a short race (about 1.20 meters tall), but are extremely fast and smart, thus they make excellent spies and assassins.
Nathaniel has an artificial right hand which he uses to attach all sorts of weapons to. He wears black clothing and a light Iruvian vest which protects himself from bullets.
His eyes are white, but turn black whenever he wants them to do so. Other than that he's bald and doesn't have any facial hair.
Weapons: Anything he can find and put to use, though he favors hand snipers.
Bio: Nathaniel was raised with Haliran rebels on Tolara Prime which was one of the few planets left untouched by human technology and the crusade against every nonhuman being in the universe. The conditions on Tolara Prime were always harsh and survival was almost impossible - almost. Two races have managed to survive on that planet: one were Qurions, large beasts that kill anything they come upon, and Kargash, insectoid creatures that inhabit the caverns of Tolara Prime and are sworn enemies of Qurions. Halians were left in the middle and were forced to hide from the predators. When he was 17 (in Haliran years) Nathaniel managed to kill one of the Qurions and from then he was know as "The Killer". Not long after that, Nathaniel started his assassin training and in a few years he mastered almost everything there was to know about killing someone/something.
Now he scours the galaxy in search for human crusaders and their leader, a man known as "The Holy One".

Of course as a judge my characters don't count..but this round is specifically interesting to me. Seeing as I have had a assassin in a futuristic game before. Of course the one I am going to post here is NOT that character, but one of their decedents.
Name: Shaiwon Toshioto
Race: Human/Venetian mix (1/4 Venetian)
Age: 25
Appearance: Oriental Male with emerald green eyes. 6'3" (His venetian blood caused him to be much taller then normal)
Weapons: Any Martial weapon (Sai, Nunchuck, etc), Venetian Ray gun*, any ranged weapon.
Bio: Having been born a male on Venus, he was born a slave. Venus was a matriarchal society and the males are considered no better then cattle. However, since he was descended from royalty, his life was much better then most slaves. His grandmother, Kiki Toshioto the Venetian queen, trained him in Ninjitsu from the time he could walk. Like all of the Toshioto clan, he was trained to be an assassin. He showed an unusual knack for the martial arts, and quickly gained in skill. His strength matched just about any female venetian**. On his twenty first birthday he was given his freedom..which while rare did happen occasionally.
He went to work for the Galaxy Rangers, despite his mothers protest. He made a good impression, as skilled a fighter as any they had in the ranks, and with the Venetian strength AND the agility that come from his ninjitsu training, quickly become both respected and feared...and then .. one day while tracking down a rogue Mercurian that stolen some valuable art..he was critically injured by a lucky laser blast.
His partner rushed him to the medics, who informed the partner that there was nothing that could be done. He would not live the night. That night he vanished. A year later he returned, his whole right arm from shoulder to fingertip made of some odd metal, and his eye a cyborg inplant. He would not speak of what happened, or how he survived..but he was a changed man. He seemed much colder, much darker, and he started getting in some major trouble with the Galaxy rangers for using excessive force.
On his 25th birthday, he vanished once again, but rumors say now he is a hitman for the organized crime in the galaxy.
Abilities : Increased strength, agility, and balance. Cybernetic arm which he can use as a hacking device and also increases his already incredible strength. Cybernetic eye that can see in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum. Ninjitsu training.
* - Venetian Ray Gun - It is a very unique weapon..it attacks a person from the inside out .. bypassing any armor, shields, or any defense. Only Venetians can use it, and once attuned to a person on that specific person can use it. Outlawed in most civilized planets.
** - Venetians. Venetians are very military based. Strength and skill in combat determines ranking in the society. They are larger then humans (even the males, but the females are a bit taller then their males). Males do not fight normally, and are considered slaves. They have a lot more strength then any race except the Andromedians. The average female is around 6'6"
