Okay well this is a little bit late and I'm really sorry for that but here we go, in no particular order.
Dalm gets The I See What You Did Award because I feel like entering an audio file and nothing else seemed geared towards confusing me? Or maybe some creative usage of the theme? But I wasn't really confused, and there wasn't really a profile. I feel like there could definitely have been something here but it felt too insubstantial to work.
Garuru gets The Synergy Award-- I feel like Lola'd be interesting with most of the illusionists because it'd mean, in some sense, that their illusions might not work on her, or that they'd have to compete with the extradimensional entity to mess with her mind. I kinda like the idea of there being some weird confluence of illusions, at least.
The Backdoor Worldbuilding Award goes to Schazer, because a world where gods casually flit down to the realm of mortals sounds interesting, and the setting's very strongly evocative. The character's also really good too.
For Solaris, they receive The Diligent Gentleman Award, as their character's ability might have like an neat way of incorporating backstory in what others see that's significant. It'd be an interesting way of cohesively meshing things, I think? I dunno but I feel like she'd be neat in a battle.
Fogel receives The Iron Chef Special Ingredient Award, by incorporating the illusory aspect into the profile itself, but doing it in a kinda classy way. I dunno I liked it.
The Above the Fold Award goes to Bigro. I, uh, I don't have an explanation for this one, honestly. It's a gut feeling and that's the best explanation I can offer, sorry.
The 20Q Award for Confusing Me is for Truegreen. This one's a little bit pigeonholed, as I wasn't really that confused by Vision, but the profile made me raise an eyebrow? Which is a little bit close to confusion, so it's got that going for it. It seems like it's got a lot of the mad god archetypes and I'm not sure I can really like, judge how well it pulls it off.
The last award's The Best Of Show Award which goes to Ixcaliber. Wilhelmina can't really be pigeonholed into the other awards-- she could fit into several of them sorta, but not really into one specifically. But she's interesting and has a lot going for her and is technically a good profile.
