This game is dedicated to designing a fan character for the person above you! I made this thread not only because I love seeing unique fan characters, but it's always fun learning and discovering fandoms other than the ones you're in.
Here are a few things you should know:
The game is open to anyone. Artists of all talents are welcome to design a fan oc for the person who's posted above them.
When providing fandom choices for whoever chooses to claim you, please provide two or more options. This makes it easier if they don't like designing for a particular fandom or aren't familiar with one. Prompts may be very simple, or they may already have some details to them; it's up to the person making the request. You can always post more options than required!
ALL fandoms are welcome. The only exception to this rule are fandoms that are 18+ and could potentially pose a threat to a minor should they choose to research it. Please see below for clarification.
As of April 8th, 2023, any post after this one must provide at least one fandom which does not contain potentially mature content. If something may contain 18+ elements, like fandoms such as South Park, Helluva Boss, etc., make note of it in your claim so that minor audiences are not subject to potentially harmful content. Keep in mind that while this is not an outright ban on any fandom in particular, please take care in what you’re requesting and the sensitive content therein since this is still a public/non-age locked thread. Should the need arise, I may entertain opening a separate 18+ thread, but at the current moment it’s not something I can do.
Designs must now be a minimum halfbody with clean colour. This applies to both traditional and digital artwork. Please only use bases if they have been created by you for personal use, or have been bought for the intentions of using them for designs. Also, and this should go without saying, tracing artwork that does not belong to you to complete a claim will likely result in a ban.
If you aren't familiar with any of the given fandoms, either make an effort to properly research one or don't claim at all. If it's found that you claimed a user's post without any knowledge of the fandom and a lack of intention to put effort into research, you will be banned.
You may not claim any posts until you have finished and sent your design. Please wait until at least three other people have posted to claim again; the sole exception is when a request hasn't been claimed in 2 days.
Designs must be delivered within a month of claiming. If the design still hasn't come in after ten days following your warning, you will be banned and unable to claim further posts. Please note that I cannot always send out warnings and ensuring that you’ve completed and received your claim is your responsibility - in this case, those extra ten days count as a grace period before being banned for the unfilled claim. Those having received a recent warning (within the last two months of their last claim) who go over the month deadlines will be automatically added to the banned list should they exceed the grace period again and will no longer be able to participate in this thread.
Confused on this particular rule and how to handle unfilled claims? Scroll to the bottom of this post, before the banned users list, for a clearer guide.
Don't be rude. Whoever claimed you took the time out of their day to create a design for you, and a certain degree of acknowledgment should be warranted. If you don't connect to the design you're given, you should still be polite!
Designs obtained through this game may be traded or gifted. Please don't sell any designs unless the creator has given you explicit permission or you have commissioned extra art, etc.
Once the design is done and properly delivered, edit your post with proof to indicate that is done: this can be a link, a thumbnail, an image, or anything that proves that you've completed your claim. Please try to avoid just writing "sent" as proof - this helps when I'm checking for late or unfilled claims.

"My design hasn't been delivered to me after a month, what do I do?": A Guide - (Last Updated: May 9th, 2023)
If the month has passed and you haven't been sent a fan character, please follow the steps below. Please note that, as this has become a semi-modded thread, I will typically only message users myself when absolutely necessary or when the person with the unfilled claim requests as such.
- Follow up with the user who claimed you. Sometimes, forum games fall by the wayside, and most people do well with a simple reminder.
- In the event that you follow up with your claimant and they either (a) do not respond or (b) respond that they will have it soon, as per the rules they will have 10 days from the time of your message to finish their claim. (This applies the same as if I were to message them.)
- If the design is not received following the ten days (sometimes giving an extra day or two is fine), please redirect your claim to the unfilled claims thread. When you do this, please let me know so that I might add the user who claimed you to the banned list.
- This step is optional, but you may also message the person who claimed you to let them know that you are redirecting your claim elsewhere (the unfilled claims thread). Should they be in the process of delivering the design at the last minute, this alleviates you from having flip-flop between threads, and prevents them from being added to the banned list.
- Should any other issues occur, such as being blocked by the person who claimed you, etc., please contact me and those issues will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
----
We have now had to institute a banned list, unfortunately. Please do not claim anyone below unless it states that their ban has been lifted! If you find yourself on the list and you would like to participate again, please send me a note to discuss a potential repeal of your ban. Please note that all repeals are not guaranteed, but I try to be as open-minded as possible.

Sorry to the next guy for getting me to throw you into fandom hell
MARVEL & DC:
A Chinese trans man. Black hair pulled back into a ponytail. Black poncho, black hood, black neck gaiter, steel cat ear like prongs stick up from through the hood. The bottoms of his boots have little cat paws, that glow and light up, leaving little paw prints wherever he steps. Two tassels hang from his coat, which he can control like whips.
A guy who covers his face with a paper bag. Dresses like a punk rocker, draws expressions on his bag face. Under the mask, he has four eyes, and X pupils. Looking directly into his eyes causes intense feelings of vertigo and inevitably organ failure. British. Face is horribly scarred. Pierced forked tongue.
A girl who had one of her eyes scratched out. The other eye has an iris with a white color, but her pupil is black. She has a black ring around the iris. She has x ray vision. White suit, black pilot helmet with red goggles. Black trenchcoat, black velvet choker. Weapon of choice is a sniper rifle.
An Australian girl with rainbow multicolored hair - very long twin braided ponytails! The hair lights on fire at the end, and the different colors cause colorful smokescreens. Maybe wearing a gas mask (one of those ones that only cover the bottom half of the face?) freckles, bomber jacket. Bomber jacket has an aboriginal pattern on the back that glows in the dark. Gloves and shoes similar to that of a welder’s.
HOTLINE MIAMI:
A black haired Russian woman with the fifty blessings mark tattooed on her bicep. Outfit is up to you, but also please design an animal mask for her to wear that isn’t one already seen in game/a unique animal please! It’s up to you what you make. I thought maybe a white wolf or dog of sorts could be cool?
CALL OF DUTY:
female operator with a unique and cool looking mask. Country of origin is either Germany, Austria, or Italy. Go wild otherwise! You could even give her a call sign if you want.
WATCH_DOGS:
A hacktivist girl with short bicolored hair, and long bangs striped like raccoon tails. (Black hair/also bleached?) wears all dark emo/mall goth style clothing, and mask of choice is a white gas mask with eyes that light up into spirals/swirls. Carries around a splatter bat. Looks like your stereotypical hot topic worker.
Claiming goatsteeth! :D
Done and sent!
Gender pref: Fem / Andro!
Purpose: these guys would prolly act as fandom sonas which... arent just aus of my regular haha
Themes: FISHES!!!!! DEEEP SEA!!!! ANY OTHER THING THAT LIVES IN THE WATER! MORE FISHES!
Fandoms with specifics (if they have specifics)(not in order of preference, pick whichever you'd like!):
- Monsters University (gothy (prolly a babybat)! But still fishy! Prolly wouldn't be a scare student, just cause they hated the workload all being practical exams and not essays they could do at 2 am the day it was due)
- Monster High (preferably dont make them look like Lagoona (or related to her)!)
- MLP (a pegasus, but they use their wings to swim super fast! Cutie mark would also be fishy themed, if they aren't a foal and still blank flanked)
- Fossil Fighters Frontier (fascinated by aquatic dinos!)
- HTTYD (you prolly get the idea by now, spends all her time fishing, maybe you could suggest a dragon for her to befriend in the desc if you choose this one?)
- Spiderverse (I dont know how it'd be done, but if you think you can, go for it!)
- Splatoon (wants to be friends with the salmonids. The salmonids do not want to be friends. Tried to teach herself to swim. It didnt go well.)
- Pokemon (a water type gym leader! They're a tour guide of an aquarium!(please suggest a pokemon for them to use if you pick this, even if its just mentioned in the desc!))
- Mario (a princess!)
A_Little_Less_Gun Spiderverse just HIT me with an idea Edit: done!
