Yay me.

So ultimately I decided to revise it a bit. This is what I think we should go with.

2 characters chosen by virtue of depiction in fanart, or by fan-created or official art in the KFAD style Examples: Inspector Gadget, GIR, Jeb Bush

'''Keep in mind, this means characters specifically drawn in the KfAD2 artstyle. Perferably made by people not on the Wiki. Sorry Bart.'''

5 characters chosen by virtue of musical sources, this is more than likely where most of the musician characters would come from, this includes for example games SiIva has ripped that you feel they need to rip more, jokes or songs used by SiIva, other mashups on the internet or just music you like in general. Possible examples: The Beatles, Kill La Kill, flash games rep

'''I think this is self explanatory. Another example, if MrBlock was here he could suggest a Wadohara rep since he thinks it deserves more SiIva Rips.'''

13 characters simply just chosen because they were an idea created just for it, or an idea someone presented. They however can not be from pre-existing parodies, or if they are, they are tweaked by say adjusting their sources, or adding a partner. Examples: Shadow, Linne

'''I adjusted this from 5 to 15 for a few reasons. One, for the most part it seems to be that we're shoving every idea we come up with in here. And two, I'm not dealing with the mess that's the SiIvaCord.'''

The winner of Chiaki Sakura's poll, thus replacing the MAGfest poll, optional, but the 2nd and 3rd highest ranking characters could also be considered.

I added Megamind because of the poll, but I guess we can also put Scotish Trainer and LoFi Girl under consideration.

A character specifically picked by the originator of the idea of a grand fan tournament here, which I believe was Elchistosito, or at least he claims so, I'd have to look over the board and the last board as well to see if it was him as for some reason I keep thinking it was either TonyExists or KirbyPKMNInkling. Either way, as a sort of prize for creating and originating the idea in the first place, they would get to select one specific character of their choosing, as long as the rest of everyone involved aggrees on their source list.

'''Again, I might have done it first since I shoved it at the end of my "Direct", but if I did, I'll throw a character in and... probably take a break from there. I'll give this 3, one from me, one from Tony, one from Elch'''

5 characters that are basically de-jokized versions of characters from either the Beta Mix or the Bean Leak are also valid, I also decided to throw on the Reddit ideas on here as well. Examples: Neil Cicirega, Drake, Johnny Test, Toa Metru (Since he is also a Wiki contributor here, PopCultureCorn/GreatBigMusicWorld would be probably be allowed to help out, and he would like to submit a character from his leak, that is also fine as long as everyone likes or agrees on their sources.)

'''I lowered this amount mainly because I don't feel like specifically referring to those two a large amount, I want to get more creative with our reach. But I still think we should de-joke some of the characters.'''

And 4 characters picked from prexisting parodies by virtue of having good source lists, this is of course dependant on if the parody owner is ok with it. Examples: Jonny Atma, Commenter Trio, Spooky, Jevil

'''Self explainatory. If we go through this, I'll sit out of this one and say Fawful is a rep from my tourney (even though Super originally submitted it lol) '''

As for banned characters... We already decided the two kings already, as well as Mariya and MissingNo. won't participate. Mario and Monika also won't be here. I think we can allow personifciations of Youtubers (I.E. SMG4 the character for... SMG4 or Mr. Hoo Hoo for Mayo), just not the actual person or Youtuber themselves. Also I think it's an unspoken rule that MAJOR SiIva Characters like 7 Grand Dad and Smol Nozomi can't be in here, but smaller ones like Inspector Gadget can.

This plan allows leeway for us to just get wild with our ideas since honestly, with the way we're deciding things, that's the way it's all going, lol. It gives us 34 Newcomers, which is what we'll have assuming we don't pair up any more veterans. If so I'll adjust it.

As far as I know, all the characters are ideas we came up with except Megamind (from the poll), Zane (not 100% sure I need to ask Bart if it has to do with musical preference), and Funny Fighting Team (which I count as Beta Mix characters)

Thoughts? This
