Blorbo Gerrymandering

Please remember to vote for characters solely based on their design, rather than which character you are more familiar with or like more!

Lucifer | Paranatural

“A bird on a table and a cloaked mustachioed wizard at the same time, like a fun optical illusion”

“Lucifer was definitely my favorite character design when I read (most of) Paranatural. It has so many layers. At first it's just a kooky wizard, then you notice the mustache is wings, then you notice the tongue is a tail and the whole thing is a bird in a cage, then you notice the whole thing is a lightbulb which ties into his light powers. It is such a conceptually dence design that manages to be amazingly simple in actual amount of details. It also just has a ton of character.”

Mebh Óg MacTire | Wolfwalkers

voting block 2 (options 2, 10): 39.1%, highest option "no"

If you don't know the rules already, unlike many poll blogs where you just vote whichever character you know regardless of the actual criteria, here you CAN'T vote for a character you know! So the more obscure a character is the better they will do!

I am your host, @chzdavmpr and with me is also have with me @dynamicentropy who is helping me with the charity stuff.

"Charity stuff?" you ask, full of bemusement. That's right, this season this entire tournament will be a fundraiser for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, or PCRF. They are a charity that provides food, water, and medical supplies/treatment to those in urgent need in Gaza, and has longer term goals of providing healthcare to children across Palestine. We have a lot of plans on incentives and goals which we will let you guys know about when they're set up (more info here), but for now if you can donate to them then you can do so here;

HOWEVER! Speaking of that!

You’re not going to know who you’re voting for (unless you’re observant)! I will be providing brief descriptions, and will refresh the descriptions to be longer (or include more/different details, we'll see. Depends on how much time I have during this tbh) each round, so as the contestants narrow down, you get a clearer and clearer idea of who you’re voting for! After the tournament ends, I will provide a de-anonymized version of the bracket, so you can all see how things shook out. Maybe you’ll find someone interesting you never knew about! The only potential for bias in this tournament is “since I had to choose the characters to avoid you all knowing them off the bat, there might be more blorbos from my current interest(s), for obvious reasons.”

Guesswork is welcomed, and will be reblogged to @anonymous-blorbo-detective without comment. That being said, please don’t try to "spoil" people on your theories in propaganda. A decent amount of the gimmick is that you're not 100% sure who you're voting for, and besides, you could always be wrong! Then where would you be?

Current bracket is here.

Firstly, to encourage donations I want to incorporate the donations into the game in some way. My idea so far is whichever blorbo has the most donations in their name at the end of round 1 gets to try again in round 2. This isn't the best implementation, so if anyone has any better suggestions on how to game-ify donations please let me know.

Secondly, I've heard good things about the PCRF and seen other people use it for their fundraisers. But I wanna make sure that I do this the best I can, so if there happen to be better singular organizations that would work for a fundraiser please let me know.

WAIT! before you proceed further you must engage with the gimmick for the final round. Which is...

A personality quiz! It will scientifically determine whom you should vote for!

To avoid people with trigerfinger voting before reading the above the poll will be below the cut.
