How's it going, guys? Like I said, this competition has only 1 Winner, but it has a 6-Month Subscription, so anyone interested has the privilege to enter. Now, for what I'm looking for, the above picture right there is the image that every entry must revolve around in some way, shape or form. You can write or draw, it doesn't matter. You can draw your character interacting with him, it doesn't matter. You could try and draw him, or even try to touch it up, it doesn't matter. Since I am the only one hosting this contest, I will pick based on personal preference, not overall-ness, so if you submit this awesome thing and expect to win, you might not if I don't like it. It's a risk, yeah, but you have nothing to lose, pretty much.

Now, the image is in fact a picture I drew a long time ago, then coloured it really quickly for this contest revolving around my new story in the works, Pariah, which will be posted after The Liquid Heavens and The Equilibrium of Adoration are finished (which, frankly, is not near completion for either of them). Pariah revolves around what seems to be a middle-ages, feudal system world, but it is actually a post-apocalpytic world that has been bombed to the stone age by a particularly vicious group of unnamed aliens who are referred to by the humans as the ' Pariah '. However, the Pariah, now being dominant over the planet, have split up the world into 12 Districts, each ruled by an Overseer, controlling vast empires in a relatively peaceful manner.

The story revolves around a girl, Saru Sougo, who resides within Pariah controlled Japan, hired as a police officer put in the position to defend the visiting Pariah Overseer of the country, a Chinese Pariah by the name of Qing Chon, whom she falls in love with at first sight after he saves her. Joining him, Saru is plunged into the deep, vicious and chaotic world of the normally complacent society of the Pariah.

The Pariah in the story are a slang term used to describe a group of aliens whose pure lineage goes back to entirely male populations. The Pariah carry impenetrable skin - however, it differs from hardened composition. Pariah actually, are unaffected by exertions of force upon them - suffice to say, they instantly and automatically emit an opposite natural force to entirely nullify the oncoming force. As such, ballistics and force-reliant weaponry (such as bullets) cannot come near to harming the Pariah. However, energy based attacks - such as fire - are perfectly fine.

In addition to their negation of force-based damage, the Pariah reach static maturation periods. When fully matured, a Pariah will stay in that period of time for as long as it exists, unchanging. This presents itself as a double edged sword - a Pariah cannot die of old age nor age past the maturation cycle, but also they cannot heal their wounds without outside assistance.

Pariah originally duplicate via a parasitic transition - they move from host to host in the form of a tumor-like cyst within the enemy, transmitted through molecular particles emitted during gestation periods from their host body much like the form of instant pollination. In a sense, they are much like dandelions - when they begin to wither, their seeds fly off to form more patches of dandelions. The Pariah function much in this way, though because of their lack of a desire to reproduce sexually, they continue to sire only males. However, recent pollination has yielded defective and unstable Pariah, forcing them to halt gestations and search for mates that can sire Pariah. Humans, due to their adaptive reproductive cycle, have been shown to be capable of siring Pariah.

Qing Chon in this story is the joker card character. He's an extremely powerful Pariah who refuses to fight in his own egotistic sense in that it would be disgraceful to expel energy against common rabble. A purebred aristocrat, he takes an immediate liking to Saru after meeting her, though details are unknown as to why he does so. Speaking with a thick Chinese Accent, he's terribly oblivious of stereotypes and acts and speaks as how he perceives the Chinese populace to act and speak.

How to submit - just write something about what I have supplied, or drawing something, and I'll post it here. I will be picking the winner when my money goes into my paypal, so be warned. You can submit more than one entry or redo an entry if you wish.
