Here are the Rules:
1. The character must be canon and from the chosen faction. (can have affinity)
2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)
3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hardLaugh)
4. Please rate the characters in this contest, however don't be so base as to 1 bomb the other characters in this contest. This is a friendly contest, just have fun, be honest and do your best.
5. Voting will look like this: "I rated so-and-so(A) an 8, so-and-so(B) an 9, and so-and-so(C) a 7. My vote goes to so-and-so(B). (this vote counts as 1 point) Please feel free to comment on why you made your choice, (what you liked) or not and just put your scores.
6. Too make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest.
7. The character that is rated the highest in the Bloo Milk rating system will receive a bonus of 2 points. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive (for example: so-and-so(B) received 3 individual votes and received the bonus 2 for being the highest rated character for a total of 5 points)
8. you may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline (from Tuesday-Thursday you may get advice and change your character accordingly) Friday at midnight be fore any votes are casted is the deadline.
The schedule will be like this: Monday the winner of last week's CCC will announce his or her choice for the character (including the faction), from Tuesday till Friday characters can be created/updated but on Friday you must have picked one character to submit. Then Saturday and Sunday we will vote, and on Monday the winner will be announced.
(Rules provided by Deathwielded)

Dexter Jettster is the character. He spent a lot of time as Fringe, but also helped the Republic considerably. So if you want to do something that would be too powerful in other factions or is very specific to when he helped the Republic, put him in Republic. Otherwise, Fringe is fine.
===
EDIT: Deathwielded said that it's fine to be either REPUBLIC or FRINGE. I cleaned up this post to reflect that.
And I deleted this since it's not needed anymore:
Personally, I don't mind if you just make it Fringe to begin with (instead of natural Republic + Fringe Affinity). I think that currently the only difference between natural Fringe and having Fringe Affinity is that you couldn't bring him in with Fringe Reserves/Reinforcements. But according to the rules for this contest, I'm supposed to specify a faction, and I chose Republic. So it's up to Deathwielded whether the pure Fringe Dexter would be permissible.

I remember a great version if this was entered it would most likely get my vote! I think for this guy this week, he can be either Fringe or Republic and still count toward this weeks contest. (BTW thanks for remembering to post the rules!)

In order allow either to be created, the official faction is: REPUBLIC. But Affinity is allowed, so you can add Affinity: Fringe if you want to.

Otherwise, Fringe Affinity is fine.
How would Fringe Affinity make sense?

How would Fringe Affinity make sense? Ah shoot. I didn't remember the wording of Affinity. I was thinking the wording was something like "May be considered Fringe", but it's "May be in a Fringe squad". That would only make sense for a pure-Fringe squad (which is now feasible thanks to Talon Karrde). But I think it would be more interesting to let him be a normal Fringe so he can be in any faction. As an arms dealer, he brushed elbows with all sorts. Anyway, Dexter has ZERO official versions, so I'd prefer the design contest to be open to both Republic and Fringe versions, but that's up to Deathwielded. Sorry for the confusion. EDIT: Missed it, but Deathwielded already answered that question above and REPUBLIC or FRINGE are both okay for this week's contest. So the whole Affinity discussion is now moot.

I think it should be dealer's choice each week. I have a great idea to use if I ever win some day. (oh, to dream!) And it's multi-faction. :P Dexter should be fun as there are no minis to base him off of. Should be lots of variety.

From arms dealer to smuggler, to hiding people, to information broker, to being well-connected, to being a 4-armed alien, to being a good cook, to specific interactions with several popular Unique figures. From a 5-point targeted tech piece to a 30-50 point uber-weapons-information-supplier and ally-booster. And probably a bunch of options I haven't even considered.

what about that fringe conscription SA? so he counts as a fringe character for purposes of Commander Effects/ Special Ability's? i think that might fit better than giving affinity IMO

hmm not very inspired but I'll see what I can come up with Here's what I came up with: http://www.bloomilk.com/Custom/16042/dexter-jettster--proprietorA little explanation: Diplomat since he's a civilian and not really a threat he should be largely ignored by the enemy (Diplomat forces this behavior to a point). Informant grants Attack/Damage bonus due to having greater knowlege of the target (thought about going +20, but with how damage bonuses are fairly easy to come by these days...), but requires adjacency (he's not going to be yelling out his info for everyone to hear) at the beginning of their turn or when attacking (see the "glossary") so it opens him up to grenades/missiles/etc., somewhat, making a built-in method of lessening Diplomats power. Melee/double as he is an ex-miner/ex-fighter so he knows how to fight if he needs to. Rapport to make him better in Republic if his trusted ally is there.

Doesn't matter how you slice it, he was an "instant plot dump, just add accent" character and was truly unremarkable outside of him scratching his butt as the cook (hilarious, if I hadn't seen it on "You can't do that on TV in the 80's). That's my opinion on the character. So, have at it and embrace your creativity. But, I'll wait for someone interesting.

My Entry Here: http://www.bloomilk.com/Custom/16043/dexter-jettster--informantI tried to make a Dexter who can fit well into a few different squads, he allows Smugglers to share stats (mainly helping the cheap ones by giving them solid attack ratings from Han or Mara,) in an all Fringe squad helps flesh out bounty hunters and in Republic (or Rebels and Seps) can help out a few Jedi with effects I felt were fitting. Not sure about Vos's yet, might be too strong...but it also adds to a possible Internal Strife trigger

Bravo to flyingarrow for an excellent choice in my opinion. This guy has limitless possibilities. Of the 15 or so action figures I have on display in my room he is one of them! Right up there with cad bane, darth bane, cade skywalker and a gamorean, so you know hes gotta be awesome. Im very excited to start work on him. Any one else thinking of saul goodman when thinking of making him?
