Greetings one and all, and blah blah bloo blah ;D So, as the title says, I'm planning for my first tourny, "The Cure". Before I get into specifics, i'll give you all the basic plot to the tourny:

Cures. Doctors are always looking for cures. Cures to diseases, phobias, terminal illnesses, anything that can be fixed by a pill. Everyone knows there's plenty of trial and error while searching for cures, and usually the failures are just thrown away. Well, on a Sierriena Island, that isn't the case. Sierriena holds a secret scientific reasearch facility, dedicated to finding cures for the worst diseases. Any normal person would find the doctors working there as saints, but really their minds are sicker than any disease. On Sierriena Island, humans are used as test subjects for experimentation. Most die slowly as the diseases the doctors infect them with run their course, but some, those few who had a different reaction to some of the experimental cures, were mutated. These 4 individuals currently reside inside of the facility, too powerful and bizarre for any normal person to handle. Anyone in their vicinity is either killed on sight, or infected with the most horrible illnesses imaginable. The 4 are united under one other patient, one who organizes and commands them. That final dreaded soul lives in the very core of the Sierriena Testing Facility, biding his time until he can gather the strength to infect the world. The scientists working in the facility, those who survived, anyway, have abandoned the facility, giving the Sicknesses free range to do with it as they please. A team of five specialists known as the "Biohazard" squad has been sent to the island, and though they hold tremendous ability, they alone can't defeat the Four Sicknesses and their master. They need more help, or the world is going to suffer one hell of a painful end.


---Auditions---

The audition sequence is simple. Aspiring contestants must draw a comic depicting their entrant having an encounter with a vector ( Vectors: [link] ), and following it into it's portal as it flees back to Sierriena Island. All auditions are due by October 5th. *edit* Sort of obvious, but i'll say it so there's no misconception. Your entrant must go into the portal to be taken to the island, but, DO NOT INCLUDE THEM EXITING THE PORTAL. This is important, since you won't know what area to come out in since positions won't be assigned until after auditions are closed. 64 participants will be accepted in total.


---Areas---

Sierriena's facilities have been completely taken over by the Four Sicknesses and their master, each one of the four infectious generals residing in a specific part of the Facility.


---Poison Control & Parasite Wing---

The Poison Control & Parasite wing is shut off from the rest of the hospital by a reinforced steel door, keeping the contents of the wing inside. Anyone entering this area should be wearing a hazmat suit, or at very least a gas mask, if they don't want to be affected by the pathogens filling the air. Many parts of the wing are caked with slimy residue and pods, the products of mutated parasites that now inhabit the area. The patients that were left alive when the door was sealed were left with a horrible fate, all of them either dieing or assimilating with the parasites to make a gruesome new species all on their own. Malaria is the Sickness that dwells in this area, her toxins fueling the evolutionary change happening to the parasites and patients in the wing. Constantly surrounded in a cloud of poisons, moths and mosquitoes, she mainly stays in her room, once in a while leaving to wander the halls, as none of the abominations now populating the sector would dare confront her.

Dr. Walsh, who once headed this wing, is now trapped inside of it, hold up inside of his secured office in the back of the wing. He can monitor anything in the area via his camera and video network hooked up through the entire area.

The twins of team Biohazard, H2 and O1, have set up camp in a contained area of the wing. They patrol the halls regularly, searching for any possible survivors, and a way to neutralize Malaria.


---Pediatrics Wing---

The Pediatrics wing is lined with polka dots, duckies and other childish wallpapers. Used for finding ways to treat the frail bodies of children, it's often thought of as the lightest part of the facility. That is no longer the case. Louie, the youngest of the Sicknesses, lives in this wing, the majority of the other children in this wing having lost their minds or degraded to young zombies. The small patients have seen fit to learn how to crawl along walls and giggle constantly at the sight of food. The children that haven't been driven insane stay in hiding, far too afraid to venture out in hopes of escaping. The survivors come out of hiding only once in a while, only fast enough to sneak into the kitchen and grab some food to bring to the others.

Dr. Nicole, the child loving former head of the wing, stays locked in her lab, spending long sleepless nights attempting to find a cure for Louie. She blames herself for what's happened to him, and won't rest until he and the other children are back to normal.

Firt Aid, the leader of the Biohazard team, is in charge of this area, finding himself mainly preoccupied with protecting Dr. Nicole's lab from the hordes of zombie like children.


---Midnight Wing---

The Midnight wing was specially made to dull all sound to near non existance. Shouting will do you no good, as the loudest it will be heard as is a whisper. It's the only means of communicating, short of writing, of course, but all you'll end up getting is a sore throat. The lights are very dull, lighting the hallways just enough to see vaguely where you're going. This sector was used for advanced cases of insomnia, the doctors there attempting to find ways to ease the chemicals in their brains to let them sleep. Naturally, Insomnia is the Sickness who stays in this place. Finding most other life annoying, he's seen fit to lock away most of the other patients in their room. The only life that roams the halls now are the living hallucinations, dreams given physical materialization by Insomnia in efforts to amuse himself, guard the area, and feed the other patients so they don't die of starvation and stink up the place.

Dr. McCraven, virtually an insomniac herself, continues her research here even though the others have fled, and the place is swarming with creatures dreamed up by a maniac. She won't stop until she finds a cure for Insomnia. Not so much to help him, but more so to get the last laugh on him and tease "Hah, I did it."

Vitamin, the smallest and youngest member of the Biohazard team scouts this area, mapping the dark corridors an protecting himself from the living hallucinations with the viral trapping device on his back.


---The Jungle & Beach---

The outside of the facility is surrounded dense forestation, and past that, sandy beaches and water. This environment proved perfect for scientists to gather natural resources for cultivating diseases to instill in patients, and equally as useful for practices on curing them. Along with both normal and mutated animals, a few of the patients and creatures from all different wings of the hospital have escaped out into the area. Cancer, the largest and by far the oddest of the Sicknesses, is among those who saw fit to venture out of the facility and travel about the island. The entryway into the facility is wide open for any to enter, if entering is what you really want to do.

Dr. Voletta, the former head of radiology is the one doctor who managed to escape the facility, and decide not to leave the island. She intends to find Cancer and bring him back into the facility until she can find a way to return him to normal.

Pill, the technology and intelligence expert of the Biohazard team, amuses himself by gathering data on the odd life forms populating the island. As self centered and conceited as he may seem, his data is a key resource in devising a way to halt the plans of the Sicknesses.


---Sierriena Facility Basement---

The basement contains all of the inner workings of the facility. Shut off from the rest of the world, the only creatures that have made their way down here are vectors, living flu viruses that are usually treated as lackies to the Sicknesses. The sheer number of them down here makes it clear that something is amiss. The master of the Sicknesses, the one that has been pulling the strings from the background the entire time, keeps himself down in the inner most part of this place. Nothing much else is left to be said other than try not to get lost down here, and do what you can to survive.

Dr. Kit, the head of the entire facility, locked himself down here once facility began to fall into chaos. Most say it was his fault that it happened, and that he one day went insane, which is what triggered these events. No one has heard from him since.


---Battles---

Battles will take place one on one. Fighters will be able to use the help of the member of the Biohazard team in their area once, and only once. Judging for the comics will be based off of story, flow, and characterization. *edit* Contestants will have 3 weeks to finish and submit their entries.


---Boss Battles---

After there is only one fighter left in an area, that contestant will be given the option of fighting the Sickness governing that area. This is a one sided battle, in which the contestant will be in charge of defeating the Sickness. This is a purely optional fight. Those who choose to pass will pass directly on to the final area with no penalties. Those who decide to take on the Sickness and win will be given permission to use one of their previous opponents in one of their battles in the final area. If none of their previous opponents will allow their OC to be used, permission will be given by me to use any of the characters in my gallery as a substitute. Finding a way to work them into your storyline will be up to you. Those who take on the Sickness and lose will still be allowed to continue on to the final area, provided they draw either a picture or small comic of themself escaping from the Sickness.

---Final Stage---

The final stage will play out just as the ones before, the last contestant being given the chance to take on the master of the Sicknesses. This is a purely optional fight. Should the winner fight the master of the Sicknesses, he/she will be given an extra prize, a fully colored picture depicting their OC fighting the final boss, done by me. Should the winner decide not to fight the final boss, I will finish it up myself.


---Prizes---

1st Prize: 1 year DA subscription, and a fully colored picture of the winner's OC fighting any of the bosses or contestants.

2nd Prize: A 3 month DA subscription, one lineart commission by ~Waddle-Penguin & myself
