Playername: Ice Queen
Entering For: NPC Image (a pirate)
IM Contact: (AIM) kiakruz

Name: Tock

Age: Child

Brief History: Tock was one of the first kids born on Neverland, and grew up in the tree house until he reached child age. At that time he decided that he was sick of following instructions, especially when he always got the dirty jobs because he was so much bigger than the other kids. He left the tree house and moved to the Jolly Rodger, where he’s been living ever since.

Brief Personality: Goofy, tough, hard-headed, self-disciplined. Tock is a badass kid with a goofy underlying nature. He’s hard headed and when he gets an idea he tends to stick with it, come hell or high water. He also tends to follow a strict, self-imposed schedule that consists of swimming, working on fixing up the Jolly Rodger, and searching for treasure. He also likes to bellow when he’s uncomfortable or just feeling “yelly.” He’s more bark than bite, I suppose you could say.

Physical Description: Even though he’s a child, Tock stands at 5’10 and weighs over two hundred pounds. He’s a gator boy, complete with green skin, a snout full of sharp teeth, and a long, heavily muscled tail. He’s also rather defined for a kid of eleven, but skinnier than he will be when grown. He dreams of wearing full pirate regalia, but at the moment he wears mostly cut off pants and holey shirts, or just a loincloth when swimming or sleeping. He can dive far deeper than most of the kids, since he’s part gator, and has a few jewels stolen from the mermaids. That includes a ruby on a thick golden chain. He’s stronger than most kids, as well.

He's Tock's staunchest supporter for the position of captain, and he'll fight dirty if he has to, to get it. He's also the best at cooking of the pirates.

=Rules/FAQs=


Tock is not officially the pirate Captain yet! But you can call him that if you want, since he fully plans on being it. twisted

More for Custom competitions than this, but most of it works here!

~Helpful Hints~
Gah, why am I telling this to the competition?? Oh, right, because there are a lot of awesome ideas out there! And I would LOVE to see them come about.

R - Research! We at the CPK know our artists pretty well, guys, they're always willing to give you hints about what they want to draw, or what they find interesting! If you really want a custom kid find out who draws what type and which one would best suit your idea! Trust me, we've got all sorts of loves around here heart

E - Engage! Yes your character has deep emotions, we realize that. But we want to FEEL the same emotions that they do. You're not writing for yourself in a competition, hon, you're writing for the judges. Make them interested in what your character is feeling! Also? Emo isn't always the way to go. Trust me on this.

S - Simplify! Long, complex, and lots of contradictions? As a writer it makes me *Headdesk* hard. You've got years ahead of you to develop the contradictions in a way that makes sense! Don't start out with them. Please?

P - Perfect! One prompt does not a character make. It doesn't make you understand them completely either. Try writing your character in all sorts of situations! See how they react to other prompts from this shop and from others! You'll get to know your kid, and that will make it easier for the rest of us to know them!

E - Explain! Do I really haveta explain this one xp Just kidding^^ If your character has a history that makes them act they way they do, explain it to us! If your character doesn't like certain types of people, explain it to us! Why are they like the way they are? By explaining it to us you'll learn more about them yourself! And that can ALWAYS help in the future.

C - Correct! So you haven't won the first time you entered. It happens to all of us. But if you're lucky, someone will tell you what you can change in the concept, or how you can improve on it. Critique is a good thing, everybody, and use it to correct things! Getting help from others doesn't mean you're bad, it just means you're smart heart I do it all the time! (And spell/grammar check, did I forget to mention that? *Corrects the form or "you're" while she's at it.*)

T - Try and try and try again! We're HUGE on contests and competitions, guys, we love to bring in new characters. I'm serious here, I've been listening to the artists who have like 10-15 kids saying how much they would adore drawing more. So don't give up!

And, if you haven't noticed already, the most important thing you can do is:
Respect yourself, your judges, and your competition.
Because who knows? You might be rp'ing with them soon!

Somebody To Love - By Queen

Can anybody find me somebody to love
Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love ?

Yeah
I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) Can anybody find me somebody to love ?

(He works hard)
Everyday (everyday) - I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Ooh somebody - ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love ?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright - he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
