The word you are looking for is neologism. A biography does not have to be factual, it is merely an account of an individual's life. In such, having a biography of say, MegaMan, would be inherantly fictional, but still a biography.

Perhaps a better definition for the contest would be - a biography of a character based on oneself. Still, a biography makes for a very poor game. Perhaps you meant, "a game starring oneself", because a biography game is an oxymoron. Games usually involve changing and influencing the future, and you cannot do that in a biography, because the events are already set in stone.

Basic Guidlines

1 You have to star in the game
be it your fictional self or real self.

2 Can be real or fictional as long as it follows a storyline leading up to now( as in being at CP)

From there you can wing it and go in which ever direction you choose.

This contest would be best described as an Autobiography: A biography about one's own self (usually by one's self... If not then always done by one's self...)

This would be an iteresting contest. However it does promote self insertion, but meh. I like it when people insert them selves. James Paige did it and I thought that was quite clever. I suggest holding it until after RMZ has done his contest. Then we will be better prepared for it. Also there will be much more entries I bet ya'. Not to mention I will probobly be ready to start participating in contests by then, so yay! Count me in if you wait and hold it. Big grin

Trivial: Yea... About naming characters after your self... I am actually the reverse of that. My account was named after a character I had already made. Not to mention, Minnek made this account for me in my absence... Neutral

All for the better. Take a break. YOu can still plan it, maybe. But in any case I think what most of us agree on is to wait a while for this one. And I'll be here to remind you later. Happy
