You probably are already aware of this from discord, but I wanted to purpose we make a character-creation contest for the wiki. Part of the reason is because I have ideas of characters I want to make, but have absolutely no motivation to get to it. I was thinking this contest might be the kick in the pants I need to get around to it, and also spice up activity/interaction on the wiki.

I'm thinking it would be hosted similar to how we host our periodic awards, but there are a couple of things I'm not sure about.

1.) What kind of character creation contest would this be? What I mean is this: would it be free-write, as in any kind of character the writer chooses, or should there be a specific category or theme to meet?

2) Is it a good idea in the first place? I personally don't see the harm in a friendly competition to add more content from the minds of different users, and I do believe we've done this sort of thing in the past. But I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything that might come back to be problematic.
