Welcome to my summer fan project, my love letter to all of YOU - The amazing OC artists who make up the PEAK server... SCOUTATHALON!!!
#SCOUTATHALON - Info and Sign-Ups
prisma otter
What is Scoutathalon, you're surely asking? Well, this is a fun little project to keep me distracted over the long summer months, where I gather up all the amazing PEAK OCs of this server and have them FIGHT TO THE DEATH IN SUPER SMASH BROS. STYLE COMBAT- I mean.... Have a fun camp meeting together! Yeah...!
Despite what you may be thinking, I don't have the skill to turn this into an actual fangame, not yet at least. So instead, this will just be a 'concept', or in better terms, one big uber drawing with everyone in it, and a couple of comics for fun. Sorry for getting your hopes up! But if this sounds interesting to you, and you want your scout or scoutmaster to be a part of it, here's what you need to know!
THE RULES (sort of)
Though I want everyone to be able to participate, there are some guidelines I have to lay down to make this easier for both me and everyone submitting their characters here. I'll try my best to explain some more nitpicky rules, but some of these are just personal bias - sorry!
**1. ONLY ONE OC SUBMITTED PER PERSON!**I'm sure you have some amazing characters who would all fit perfectly into this little combat game, but for my sake, please pick one scout/scoutmaster to be your representative on the battlefield. I can't handle that many scouts!
**2. Your OC MUST be a peakling!**It's a very general rule, but all I'm saying is that your character needs to fit into the world of PEAK. Have a regular scout or scoutmaster? That's great! A robot pretending to be a peakling? Sure! An alien lifeform who crashed on the island and is trying to find their way home? If it looks generally peakling shaped, then go ahead! This rule is just here to prevent people from asking for characters that don't fit the PEAK world (so no normal humans, pretty much).
**3. No variations of already existing PEAK characters!**This pretty much means I won't draw your Scoutmaster Myres OC or your Looker OC (zombies are fine however!). If they're completely different from the original, I may be able to make an exception, but you'll have to ask. This rule is here because I want this to be a celebration of the creativity of the amazing OC artists in this server, not a celebration of the already existing characters (even though we can all agree that Myres is pretty great).
**4. Respect the artist!**That's me! I'm the artist! What I mean by this is that by submitting your character here, you have to respect my time and effort that I put into this project. This means no complaining if your OC isn't super big and is instead further in the background than you'd like. This also means no begging for a better spot in the art, or nagging me about when the project will be done.
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OC
So now that you know the rules, you're probably wondering how to get your little scout or big scoutmaster into this art! Just simply follow these steps, and you'll be good to go! (Steps with the + symbol next to them are REQUIRED for your submission to count)
**1. Share a DRAWN, COLORED, FULL BODY REFERENCE of your scout in this thread. +**That means I must see the whole scout from head to toe, in full color. Whether it was drawn by you or by a friend, it also must be a drawn reference. You can include an in-game reference if you want, or if your drawn reference doesn't include color. If you don't have a reference like this, but still want your scout drawn, please talk to me about your submission!
**2. Share some details! +**What's your character's name? Are they a scout? A scoutmaster? Do they live on the island? What's their personality? Are they strong? Assertive? Or are they more of a coward? Do they like fighting, or do they prefer to talk it out? Only the NAME is required, any other added details are optional!
**3. MORE details! Now including fighting!**Specifically, does your character have a preferred fighting style? Do they use a weapon? if so, what kind of weapon? How do they use it? Do they use multiple weapons? Do they rely more on brute force? Smarts and wit? High speed? Or do they hate fighting entirely? Are they more likely to win or lose in a fight? These are all just general questions, feel free to give as much or as little info as you want!
Once you've submitted your character, I may ask you some questions if I need to. But if not, you'll be all ready to go as long as you've followed the rules and my instructions! My goal is to draw EVERY CHARACTER that gets submitted, so wish me luck! That being said, I may be unable to draw everyone no matter how hard I try, so please note that submitting a character here does not guarantee your character will be drawn. Another thing to note, to add a stylized flair to the drawing, I may make some changes to your character's outfit or design. These will not be drastic changes, but they will help add a bit of flair to the work! If you want an example, see the reference I've added below! There will eventually be a due date for all submissions, so please keep an eye out for that due date, and get your character submitted before then! Thanks for reading all of this, and may the best scout win! - Toast

Uhh lets see.. No clue age, maybe mid 20s idk. I sometimes give them the Plague Doctor Cloak. Uh decently chill, will throw hands if provoked (probably from talking with no success)
Fighting style? uhh kicks and punches primarily ig. I do tend to call them a Napberry Menace, so theres bound to be a few of those around. This should be good right 👍

Do you have a full body ref of him? Or at least a reference of what he looks like waist down? If not I could try to fill in the gaps myself, but I'd rather have a full reference to know for sure.

His main body is the same as the first scout outfit in game, the only changed is that he's turquoise and has cyan, glow scars around his arms and legs, as well he has a stich on his leg too, give me a sec to give you more of an idea to what he looks like, the head, just copy from the image above
here is his full body (DONT INCLUDE THIS VERSION'S HEAD, except for the three hair lines sticking out on the back of his head, you can edit the head from the image above, But that's how he looks

Ooo this looks fun! Let me toss my guy in the ring haha.
This is Rowan, a 15 year old scout who is rather timid and shy. He’s not really one to get into fights and much prefers talking things out, but if you make him mad or attack him he will defend himself. Mine and my friends’ interpretation of the island has our scouts unable to truly leave until they peak on all seven ascents. Once they peak on a lower ascent or die trying they will wake up back on shore. This resulted in them being stranded for months on the island (and several rather intense incidents that caused them to nearly go insane).
After roughing it on a relentless island over and over again he’s gained a lot of survival experience and can think fast. This has also added to his physical strength, as he and his scoutmates scale the island again and again. He has no formal fighting experience but will use his fists or found items if necessary. He has fought his scoutmates before (mostly unwillingly) and has the scars to show.
Admittedly this reference is slightly outdated, but it’s mostly the text is out of date, his appearance is pretty much the same still aside from scarring on his right forearm after he was cannibalized by one of his scoutmates. Use the design on the right. I can also send more uncolored sketches if that would be helpful

for now i dont have a solid ref for him, you could ask more for it
Làtriestère - he/him - around 52 yo.
He's one of the many creation of the Islands - the culprit hosted in every living things in the regions - to be able to track down and give it back valuable information so that it can lure more prey (or, in this case, just lure more aircraft based on the information it gathers).
He was likely to be his first sucsessful eikonsynthesized (reproduced from memories and images it remembers) peakling. Because he was never be a true peakling, he's more so called a pseudo-peakling, rather than the zombies, and also explain his connection with the zombies.
Also explained why he's basically unable to be harm on the island by any factors (because he's and the Islands is one) and when he is dragged out of the Islands, he just simply disintegrates. (but this is too op so he feel free to be attack in this thing :3).
He is a whimpsy creature who didn't willing to hurt anyone, and try to befriend with all of the peaklings who needs help on the Islands due to crashes.
He eventually found out the vacuum device left on a deceased peakling in the Roots (yep the fucking roots were so backkk). He was always wondering if this place was too dangerous to anyone, so he takes this as the chance for he to help people - through the cleaning of the excess spore quality in the air.
(he uses that thing to combat if he ever have to.)
(also he could summon a random zombie in his vicinity to temporarily protect or sum, tho max recharge i guess I HAVE NEVER PLAYED SMASH BEFORE)
feel free to ask anything about the ref i guess if theres smth misunderstand
