Y'all know the drill folks, let's do this shiz.

Also I AM VERY LATE YES I KNOW, I WILL GET THEM DONE BEFORE THE END HOPEFULLY DON'T KILL ME

Best Hero

 * Chloe-Su the Echidna - I'll be honest, I'm... not too big on this character. She seems to be going for that "small fry who saves the world" shtick... but it kinda falls flat when you consider her bad traits like that aggression and bluntness. [-1]
 * Princess Penelope the Puppy -
 * Isaac the Hedgehog
 * Rik the Spider Monkey
 * Arinku the Doberman
 * Raven the Cyberhog (Nexus Ultimatum)
 * Blitz the Wolf - Hey, it's my main man! ...why hasn't he won this yet? /shot
 * Alfred the Ancient
 * Kioura The Angel Hedgehog

Best Neutral

 * Luella the Mouse
 * "Impression" the Wolf
 * ALOERU THE VAUROTIS
 * Dark Lord Riven
 * Jackpot the Gambler
 * Ember the Hyena

Best Villain

 * Zak-Ryder the Hedgehog
 * Arna the Tasmanian Devil
 * Xavek the Techno-Organic

 * General Serges - Hey, it's Sigma's dragon! ...wonder where Dusk is off to.

 * Albus the Cat

 * Tesla The Hedgehog

Female

 * Jasmine the Bat
 * Lunari the Echidna
 * Keira The Angel Hedgehog
 * Reens the Hedgehog
 * Melissa the Hedgehog

Male

 * Vexx the Timewalker - He looks super badass! I do like tron lines on a character, and the ones on Vexx definitely look great :D [+1]
 * David The Echidna - He looks pretty cool! I do like his hair and jacket~ [+1]
 * Amasis Khnum the Jackal - The Egyptian theme is pretty great, but... it just feels really off when you take the dude's fur color and stuff and put beside his gear. Sorry man. [+0]
 * Vihn Kasigira the Spaniel - Ehhh, not much stands out. I really like the hat, though, but... yeah. [+0]
 * Doctor Jay the Hedgehog - Only gripe I have is with the odd placement of the jacket's arms. Everything else looks nice to me, though! [+1]
 * Lance the Rabbit - It's pretty... meh. That's all I can say to describe it. [-1]

Female

 * Angelique the Wolf - Oh my goodness I LOVE her look! I almost thought her page image was an official model for a second, wow! Props to her creator :D [+1]
 * VILAHRA THE DRAGON - She looks pretty cute! Lots of bright colors I noticed. [+1]
 * Rosaria Robotnik - Ehh, it's okay. [+0]
 * Ziggy the Butterfly - Golly she's a total cutie pie! Wingsz did an amazing job with her~ [+1]
 * Keira The Angel Hedgehog - What the heck, I like it. Gives me a Riders vibe like Minato said. [+1]
 * Evaline the Chilla - Aren't you just the cutest candlestick mage~ also SHE'S A HOTHEAD /killed [+1]
 * Jayda-Su Pyrovolt the Echidna (Post Genesis Wave Future) - To be honest, it all seems haphazardly put together with no thought to consistency. Maybe use less colors and fix the hair? [-1]
 * Celesta the Nightmare - People seem to really like my Nightmare babe! You can thank my good friend Anu for her gorgeous look! <3

Strongest Character
Not really feeling this one. Skipping.

Best Speaker

 * Blitz the Wolf: "People can be dumb, mean, crazy, sad, and a bunch of other things. But it doesn't matter if they are those things - if they're trying their hardest, if they want to make things better, if they really want to do good... then I say we give them that chance." - Check it out, Blitz is getting philosophical!
 * Reens the Hedgehog: "Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and the world thinks you're stupid for being too sensitive. That's why I always have a smile on my face, even when I'm dying inside. Who wants to be sensitive anyway? It just shows you have a heart that isn't made of stone." - ...sorry, what? I really disagree with all of this. I'd rather be able to emote and feel like a person instead of just hiding it because some nitwits hate on it. [-1]
 * Kioura The Angel Hedgehog: "She gave it her best, to survive and maintain her life, for me, because, she knew, that no one would take her rightful place. So she created me, and I was launched into a whole new mystery, adventure, and a lot more, with a team by my side, which is Team Rebellion. And now, I'm going to fight, in order to find all of the remaining mobians that are still remaining. Together, we'll the pass the mountains, deserts, and ruins, to solve each mystery, so we can find all of them. But me myself isn't going to give up for the next generation, since I'm gonna fight till the very end, and on the battlefield. I'll wreck every single enemy that stands in my way, but if I'm standing alone on the battlefield, when all of them has already disappeared, then, it will be, just me and Keira's axe, fighting a thousand shadow monsters, on my way to the end." - ... frankly it feels like this one is going all over the place and is taking way too long to get to the point. [-1]
 * Knockout the Wolf: "I do want to avenge them. But you, Zagan... you've tried to atone for what you've done, unlike the others. Call me crazy, but I believe anyone who tries to make up for the bad things they've done can be forgiven if they're trying hard enough. Like you, for instance." Knockout's a real sweetheart, don't you agree?
 * Dark Lord Riven: "I hired you guys to do my dirty work for me. And because your last boss got himself killed. And the guy before that, and the guy bef-- do you see why I don't like these pointless questions?" - ...actually, no I don't. I think you were trying to go for a Handsome Jack angle, but it didn't really accomplish that... [-1]

Best Location
Why is only one entry in here not made by Chames, like seriously how'd that happen ಠ_ಠ
 * Azima
 * Cinnabar Forest
 * Wingstrong Orphanage
 * Emerald School

Best Leader

 * CHARACTER THE LYNX - ...uh. Okay, it says he's the (head?) detective of a small Station Square police squadron... and that's it. How does he lead it? Is he good at it or does he have people blowing him off because he's inept? (Also a nitpick, but the page zig zags between third and first person - stick to one of them, don't do both, that just throws off the flow of reading.) [-1]
 * Xavis Pyrovolt - According to his author, he got put here because a friend nominated him. Word of advice - when you nominate something, try actually reading the page. Because honestly, this is like a case of Square Peg, Round Trope. [-1]
 * Sharifa the Lizard - There's not exactly a whole lot to go on, unfortunately. If there were more stuff that emphasizes her leader-ness, then yeah, I'd give an upvote! But as it stands now, I'm just neutral. [+0]
 * Olivier the Culpeo - Rising from a poor life to lead a revolution and inspire hope in the downtrodden... now that's definitely a leader in my eyes. [+1]
 * Vlad the Komodo Dragon - Here's an example of a leader who's on the more "black" side of the morality spectrum. He seems like a Well-Intentioned Extremist with the resources and abilities to enact his plan, and the allies to assist him in his endeavor. Kudos! [+1]

Best Item

 * Nature Barriers - Makes me think of the elemental barrier powerups from the old school Genesis Sonic games! There's a lot of variety here, and I can tell there was quite a bit of thought put into this! ... can I has one /shot [+1]
 * Tritec Splitter Special - Seems like more of a fancy reward than an actual weapon. It still seems dangerous in the right hands, so they get a vote! [+1]
 * Ultra & Violet - Honestly, I feel these could use a makeover. Thanks for the feedback Sideswipe, I'll be sure to use it when voting is over! [-1]
 * Meteor Plume - Interesting concept so far! I must admit, makes me want to go to the home of Saranyu... [+1]
 * Starsword - lolwatsbalance [bricked] Alright but seriously, this sounds extremely over the top in terms of raw power. The Fridge Horror in the "made to order" bit is kinda noticeable though... [+0]
 * Frozen Claw/Thunder Rake: Hey guys, let Blitz AXE you a question or two! [killed]
 * The Hell Prizm - Yay a plot device that people like! [shot]
