Well I'd like to participate. But first I'd like to clear a few things up for me:
Quote:
HOMM V Hero (Pt 1) - For the first contest it will be Heroes that would fit in the current towns that are present in HOMM V (Including HoF and ToTE). Scores will be for Originality, Background, Hero Special, and Fit (how they fit into the current towns).
About the Hero Special are you going to judge how well it would work ingame (normal multiplayer games) or how original it is? Or both ? Besides what do you mean with fit? What if I for example would make a Wizard that actually worships a Dragon god? Combined with some special that would absolutely NOT fit academy though it would be unique and original... would be nice if you could clarify those a bit more. It's like I would change anything depending on what you would say but nevertheless it's nice to know how you are being judged.
And what do you mean with :
Quote:
HoMM V Hero (Pt 2) - Any town for V, HoF, or ToTE..even your own just made up town. The heroes of those towns only however. Fit score would be not used
So basically here I can only make heroes for 1 town that I choose?

Since originality is an all around score (including the hero special) though it will be based on originality (as will everything else) the main part of the Hero Special is how it would work in the game.
As for the second part of your question.
You can create as many heroes as you wish, but keep in mind your highest scoring one only will be mentioned in the scoring round. You can choose different towns for the heroes also. There will be no 'fit' score as we won't know the towns for some of them, and it will be hard to score them on how well the fit in that town.
Fit score deffinition. The fit score may drop a bit if you use say a necromancer that gives bonuses to say turkeys..but the originality factor might outweigh the points you loose. Makes it a bit more challenging. When the fit score is disabled then it is a non-issue, and it doesn't matter.

BEHOLD!
Azak the Destroyer

Destructiveness, unimaginable strength, cruelness and bloodlust are common characteristics among Demon Lords… Azak however takes these attributes to another level. As a son of one of Urgash first children Azak has been there almost since the beginning. He has led the infernal armies of his father in the Wars of Fire and the War of the Blood Moon. And where he appeared on the battlefield his enemies died or fled in panic and his allies fought with unparalleled ferocity. It was him who found the hiding place of the Dragon Knights and lead the small army of Sheoghs elite warriors against the them during the secret war known as the Dragon hunt. All these wars have made him stronger and in the centuries of his imprisonment he hasn’t let one day go to waste. Fuelled by his burning hate for all that has helped imprison his kind and Kha-Beleth who has taken his fathers rightful place, he has turned himself into a raging killing machine, which skill and deadliness is second to nothing that has ever walked the face of Ashan.
The day Azak and his twin brother Decor will take over Sheogh and lead the infernal legions out of their prison is the day mankind will fall.

Azak and all melee units under his control deal 5% extra damage against enemy creatures. The percentage increases by 1,5 for every level.

All I will say is that it is really going to be tough to judge these. Some really creative ideas. Still need some volunteers to help judge. Kookster? Elvin? Somebody?!

Decor the Debaucher
Biography:
Decor is not like other Demons… speaking of demons many picture horned grunts, deformed brutes, ugly primitive beings who thrive upon destruction and suffering. The aspects of excess, seduction, alluring beauty and grace however seldom find their place in the most demon lords. But Decor is the very essence of all this. Even though he has mastered the arts of combat and magic to and extend not reachable for mere mortals he didn’t spent most of his time fighting in the Wars of Fire and the War of the Blood Moon. Decor reaches his goals by other means. The beauty and charm Urgash has granted him are not from this world and as such beyond the comprehension of lesser beings. Enemies lose their free will and all their hostilities are suddenly forgotten in the presence of this otherworldly persona. The will of the most fanatic clerics of the church of light is broken in an instant as they gaze upon Decor. Enemies and foes alike will do all they can in order to please the embodiment of lust to just –for a divine moment- be worthy of his presence. Entire armies have laid down their weapons when they faced Decor. He then feasts upon the sight of his enemies being attack by their very own troops.None can resist the charm of the one who sees the desires of all living.
The day Decor and his twin brother Azak will take over Sheogh and lead the infernal legions out of their prison is the day mankind will fall.
Special: The Debaucher
Thanks to Decors godly charm creatures will rather fight and die for him than fight him.
Decor has 10% chance to give a random enemy creature the “Treachery” ability. The percentage increases by 1% per level up. Only one unit can be affected during combat until level 26 and this ability does not work on creatures immune to mind effects.
During level 1-16 tier 1-3 units will be able to receive “Treachery” ability
During level 17-19 tier 1-4 units will be able to receive the “Treachery” ability
During level 20-21 tier 1-5 units will be able to receive the “Treachery” ability
During level 22-23 tier 1-6 units will be able to receive the “Treachery” ability
During level 24-25 tier 1-7 units will be able to receive the “Treachery “ ability
Above level 26 two enemy units will receive the “Treachery” ability and Decor will be able to select one target.
Statistics:
Attack: 3
Defence:
Spell Power: 0
Knowledge: 2
Decor starts with:
Basic Gating:
Basic Dark Magic: Master Mind
 
Just to do a little of explaining:
There is no picture for Decor as I dindn't find anything that came close to what I imagined... but I leave up to your imagination to find something close to what I describe in his biography.
These to heroes would be campaign heroes not due to their specials but due to their outstanding origin (they are absolutely godlike demons which is why they should not be able to lose in a "normal" game) To make them ordinary heroes one would just have to give them other biographys somehow linking them with their special and not makeing them the greatest demons that ever lived. Man makeing heroes certainly is fun yet very very time consumeing...

(LOL so many Light Magic oriented heros)
My entry:
Name: Ingham
Genre: Knight
Speciality: Purger
When Ingham was young, he found his village assaulted by liches, buildings burned and villagers turned to ashes or raised as mindless skeletal bodies. Not much time passed and he would become one of them too, but fortunately group of clerics that came along there purged the village of undead. As no one of villagers left alive, priests took him with them to monastery. Through years Ingham was learning secrets of Elrath's magic hoping one time he will get his revenge.
Hero's Cleansing spell achieves special effect to randomly split dispelled blessings from enemy's creatures between own units, as well as causing on enemies curses dispelled from hero's troops. Aditionally, hero gains discount when casting Cleansing.
The spell's cost is decreased by 1 mana point for every 4 hero levels. Its mass version is affected, too.
When returning a curse to enemy, hero ignores any natural immunities and resistances that target creature has, if any. In example, if enemy Necromancer casts Blindness spell on hero's Paladins, Ingham dispelling it may return the curse to, lets say, Vampires, ignoring it's natural immunity to this spell as being Undead. However, the Vampires can still resist the spell using hero's resistance perks and artifacts.
Skills & abilities:
Basic Training
Basic Enlightenment, Basic Light Magic
Starting bonuses:
 
Ingham starts with Cleansing and First Aid Tent.

Pretty good entries, cool special for radar and interesting bio by Azagal. Since Decor is male does it imply that he can cast mass homosexuality? Anyways you forgot Zenufiel name in the deceiver specialty and the special itself is a bit unrelated to the bio and does not seem particularly deceptive You probably forgot to edit

Nooooo...or maybe? Depends on the guys he meets wheter they feel absolutely insignificant in his presence and see him as a god-like being or they fall in love with the god-like being doing as he whises just to please him (...this happens far to often in rl don't to be a infamous demon lord for that...) you it depends.

Thanks for the notice was kind of late this morning... and yes Deceiver was the wrong word (heehe...I just sounded very nice and had to something with being evil and tricky and stuff so I didn't boarder to look it up ) and I'm still strugelling wehter I'll leave the special as it is or think of something else.
Ok I've changed his special. Now it suits his biography.

Thank you guess it really had to be changed because the light magic thingy was somehow unrelated. This one suits him muuuuch more.
