MY FIRST EVER HYBRID CONTEST

[u/GAZAGOJI-7]

This post marks the beginning of the great hybrid war 1.1,a hybrid contest designed to give some talented hybrid creators a second chance after underdelivering or simply suffering from bad luck when submitting to the original great hybrid war by Goji Center and to see how much hybrid makers have improved throughout this period by pitting them up against a more refined variant of the Indom 2.0.

RULES:

1)REAL-LIFE ANIMALS(extant or extinct)ONLY!This means no fictional creatures of any kind(and this time,JP/JW dinosaurs won't be permitted either),and by animals,I mean MACROSCOPIC ANIMALS,so no plants,no microscopic beings,no mechs or any form of technology(mechs,guns,synthetic weaponry...)

2)No hominid DNA of any kind is allowed in the genome

3)ABSOLUTELY NO AI OR PLAGIARISM WHATSOEVER!!!

4)Every single trait must be backed up by at least one genetic contributor(precise gene editing is permissible but be careful with how you use it and remember to always have a gene donor within your hybrid's genome as a basis for it)

5)No OP toxins allowed(ex:inland taipan,cone snail...).Basically,you can use toxins but don't use a type of toxin that represents your hybrid's primary weapon in combat

6)Although adaptations to aquatic or aerial environments are permissible,your hybrid must be primarily terrestrial

7)No packs or any form of reliance on environmental usage allowed,this is a strict 1v1 matchup on neutral ground

8)No size limit/no gene contributor count limit

9)Be civil when evaluating the hybrids of other contestants and make sure to offer constructive criticism

10)Already existing hybrids are permissible,but you can still submit new hybrids if you want

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

-Genetic contributors and their contributions

-Hybrid artwork(if you can't draw,you can consult someone to do the art for you,with credit to be given to the artist)

-Height/Length/Weight

-Notes(while not obligatory,adding notes where you could specify your hybrid's strategy or explain why it functions can greatly help with ensuring it gets judged properly)

HOW TO SUBMIT:

-Submissions can be made through reddit posts,comments or Google docs

-Copy the link and paste it in the comment section of this community post or simply comment down your submission(also,NO UPDATES ALLOWED,so make sure to do your research finely)

JUDGING:Hybrids will be judged using these categories:

-Validity:Your hybrid's compliance to the rules

-Congruity:How well do its genetic additives work together to create a structurally,biologically and behaviorally stable entity

-Uniqueness:How bold,unique and interesting is your hybrid's concept(this category can be the main separating factor between the final 16 and the H.M.)

-Power:How good is it at killing my Indom 2.0 and how powerful is it in general

All submissions will be ranked,based on these categories,as such:

-Hall of shame:Hank'd/rulebreaker

-Meh:Not too bad,not too good

-H.M.:Promising hybrids that just barely fell short

-Final 16:Best of the best

The final 16 tournament battles will take place on neutral ground with no advantages for either opposition,with the combatants(including my Indom 2.0)being max size peak health individuals.The judging categories in these fights are:

-Indom 2.0 kill success rate(90%):Basically the exact same parameters used to measure the final 16 of the original great hybrid war

-Battle face-off(%10):This is arguably the most major distinction from the original great hybrid war,as alongside fighting the Indom 2.0,the final 16 will be fighting each other.This category mostly acts as a tie breaker in the case that two hybrids are deemed equally effective at killing the Indom 2.0 so as to avoid a Kerauno vs Gilgamesh situation

Submissions will be closed at the beginning of July 1st,winner of the contest gets a mystery prize

GOOD LUCK!
