Competition Results
Thank you to everyone who entered a biography into the contest. I enjoyed reading about your homins, their backgrounds, adventures, and projects. Deciding between first, second, and third place was difficult. Every biography is full of heart and helps to fill Atys with life. I truly wish I could give every contestant a prize. I kept many factors in mind when making my decisions and I've tried to be thoughtful about how closely each entry adhered to the rules and spirit of the competition. Without further ado, here are the competition medalists:
In his biography, Gilgameesh(Atys) provides a colorful account of his life, from the early days when he was separated from his parents during the chaos of the Great Invasion, all the way through the Second Swarming to the current day. I like how Gilgameesh explains the meaning of his name in his biography too.
For the detail and creativity in his biography (including a lovely poem to Fairhaven!), and on account of the fact that any homin can easily read about Gilgameesh when they stumble upon him in-game, Gilgameesh wins first place and a 6-month subscription.
Elke(Atys) has complied a biography full of luciograms (screenshots). An accomplished scholar, Elke carefully explains the course of her life in her biography. I am particularly impressed by her ingenuity in training an Izam to fly to a certain height at which a luciograph automatically takes a picture of the landscape below. She has made her maps available to all homins. I highly encourage the curious explore to check them out here:

For the scientific precision of her biography and her service to the people of Atys, Elke wins second place and a three-month subscription.
Eolinius(Atys) had a turbulent childhood. Like many other homins, he found fellowship and belonging on Silan. In his biography, he explains how he befriended different homins across Atys. His affection for his friends and guild comes through clearly in his biography.
For the love that Eolinius shows for his fellow homins in his biography, he wins third place and a one-month subscription.
I have ranked all other contestants as alternates. I will send a private messaged to each medalist to ask which character they would like me to send the prize subscription. If they choose to forgo the prize, I will contact the alternates and offer them the prize.
Thank you all for participating in the contest! I will sponsor a similar contest with subscription prizes in the coming months (perhaps for Atysmas!).
