Upon talking with some of the forum regulars, they told me that they would like to see an Oblivion BADASS pageant. So here it is! Welcome!

I've done this on the Skyrim boards a couple of times now, but for those who are unfamiliar the format is this: Anyone can enter a male badass character, and that character will be included in the poll that will follow this thread. If you decide to enter a male character you may also enter a female character, but this female character will be included in a separate question in the poll. So we have a male badass question, and a female badass question.

"So what is a badass Hagrid?"

A badass can either be male or female, but the focus of this competition will be on males. Your character must fit the bill of a badass in order to be accepted. In the words of Haggar: "No pretty boys allowed."

That's a very broad definition, but the point is that this is not a beauty contest, and what's more is that you have to impress Hagrid. Thus, I dubbed this "Hagrid's Badass Pageant". I'll be awarding three points to my favourite male and female badass, so this is likely to be a close race. I'll be judging entries accordingly.

Beards Strength - So no beards this time, but this can be made up for in strength. The stronger and more imposing the badass, the more likely they are to win an extra three points.

Facial Construction - Your character should be aesthetically pleasing. Duhh..

Wise old man - The wiser, and more old your badass appears, the cooler the badass.

I won't be voting in the poll myself, but instead I will put the winner of my three points in the OP of the next thread, which will be the poll. So get entering! I can't wait to see what you amazing people come up with! First and foremost, this is a chance for us to share our badass characters! Good luck Harry!

Here's some inspiration for you guys, in the form of our previous winners of the badass pageants.

I have a surprisingly good looking Nord warrior, but I have no cell phone at the moment and my sister refuses to lend me hers...

Oh I wouldn't worry about that. The entries will be quite slow-paced on this forum. So you have a good amount of time.
