1) Would you prefer a Retribution-style long haul event, with individual battles and a point system, OR a huge collab event, with several people on the shifter side and several on the undead, each working on one big comic together?Both are new to me so I am fine either way.
2) What kind of stakes would you like to see? One suggestion was winner turning the other side for example (though whether that would be permanent or not is also up for debate).Maybe make the winner the King/Queen of the Underworld in Void or whatever more specific name you can give to the Vampire and Shifter community (cos Underworld is a pretty broad term. Unless you want to include demons, etc in the tournament).
Shake the status quo a little bit. Vampires and Shifters tend to naturally hate each other in stories (and I am uncertain if this is the case in Void though). But if we're going to go by that route, having one person under a species rule both would be a tense and interesting overarching plot for future battles that following year.
3) What beings do you think should be counted for each side? For instance, would a ghost be counted as undead, or do they have to have a physical form to be included? Should only single form shapeshifters be included, or those with multiple forms as well?
Hmm not sure as I myself have a dilemma here. So I will defer that to others. Raven is not technically undead. The vampires in her world are more like a mutation or a separate species. I am not even sure if she counts. She cannot shapeshift either. She just uses illusions to change her appearance.
Either way, I am very interested in this event - time permitting and if my weird vampire character qualifies
EDIT - my bad the title says Undead not Vampires lol. Still the stakes I suggested apply anyhow..I think lol *sips coffee to wake her up*
