Let me tell you something about television.
People copy everything out in networkland. The proliferation of medical dramas, fairy tale miniseries remixes, and these weird primetime sci-fi television shows that have started up recently, they’re all a result of copycats. There isn’t a single original bone in television’s body.
Therefore, one would not be surprised that, say, a omnipotent man running the sole broadcasting company in the multiverse would see the idea of grand battles, become infatuated with them, and make a blatant, televised rip off.
Which, might I add, was exactly what had happened.
The Broadcaster, as he called himself, didn’t care for intellectual rights or consequences or decency or politeness. He was in showbiz. He would do whatever he pleased, thank you very much.
So, you know what? He did it. He started a season of television-based grand battles for all the multiverse to watch, shamelessly, almost confrontationally. Some people raised concerns, but ultimately, not a fuck was given about their complaints.
Of course, the season needed a spearhead. A pilot. The name to kick it all off. The Broadcaster would hand of battles to other members of his company, but this, the first one? It was his battle. It would set the tone of the entire production.
He searched the channels of the universe, thinking. He had finally, finally, come up with the perfect name, breaking the old formula, but keeping the drama.
This battle, this project, would be forever named…
LAST. THING. STANDING.

Q: Can I have a sign up sheet?
A: Sure:
Quote:Name: The name of your character.Q: I have another question.
Gender: Male, Female, or SOMETHING ELSE???
Race: Not, like, if the person is white or black or something. Is it a human? An alien? A vacuum cleaner? Tell us.
Color: To easily tell authors and characters apart. Please don’t have super similair colors and nothing too garish, please. White on black is mine.
Equipment/Abilities: Can your character JUMP OVER BUILDINGS? MAGIC THINGS UP? LIFT HEAVY THINGS? Does your character carry a bunch of explosives or bunny rabbits or something?
Description: What you character is like, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Biography: Backstory! How did your character get like this? What’s his or her or its story prior to being a television star?
NEWBIES: SHORT PIECE OF WRITING: It doesn’t have to be THAT much. It doesn’t even have to be like a complete plot. I just need to see how your prose works, is all. Sometimes people are decent at writing profiles but it turns out they are practically illiterate when it comes to prose. So uh, sorry for having you put up with this.
