“If I Were a Skylanders” Writing Contest Winners

When we announced our “If I Were a Skylanders” Writing contest, I had now idea the deluge of creativity that was about to come our way. Not only is it clear how many of you love this game as much as I do, but you all are a terrifically inventive bunch. It was difficult to choose a winner, so I enlisted GeekMoms Andrea and Kelly to help me narrow it down to four finalists which we put to a GeekMom vote.

And the winner is…

Kira, age 13

Name: Seth

Element: Undead

Powers: Sonic fear, tail spin

Sonic fear: Seth has a special power that allows him to screech deafeningly and induce fear in ones mind.

Tail spin: Spins his tail at the speed of light.

Seth is a wolf with an unusual power, to manipulate sound using fear-based magic. Seth has a love for art and began to incorporate it into his sound-waves, although the sound-waves last for a few seconds, the shapes and colors dazzle the inhabitants of Skylands. Eventually, the great  Eon heard of this wolf’s talent and had an audience with the legendary artist. He proposed that set use his art to scare Kaos, seeing as how at the time, Kaos was thinning ou the Skylanders and attacking the core of light. The odds changed in the Skylanders favor when Seth arrived and created a ten headed monster with his sound-waves. To this day, Kaos is terrified of Seth and his “art”.

Marvelous writing, Kira! You’ll be taking home the prize package of seven Skylanders and the PowerA’s Skylanders Adventure Case.

And to our two runners-up, I have great news! Activision said they’s send a special prize your way, too. Congratulations to Aidan and also to Melissa who entered with her son, Cory.

Aidan, age 10

Name: Happy Masher

Element: Tech

Powers: #1 Uses hammer! #2 Uses orange gear on hammer as boomerang!

Happy Masher is cool because his hammer can do more things than Stump Smash’s hands. The hammer also holds many surprises. For example, the yellow circles turn into long, yellow poes, and he can spin the handle of the hammer to propel himself into the air, away from enemies! He would be useful in Skylnads because being in the air can give you time to think up a battle plan! He’s also a very cute tech type!

Melissa, age 29, and Corey, age 4

Name: Rhino Blasti “Outta my way chump!”

Element: Earth

Powers:

Crystal Blast- Fires crystal shards from his staff.

Earth Shake- He can stake his staff in the ground with great strength to draw out the rocks and gem shards from underground damaging surrounding enemies.

Temper Tantrum- With a groan, staking of his staff and stomping of his feet; this crumbles the ground around the enemies feet, fixing them to the spot.

Soul Gem Bonus- A super charged sprint, knocking enemies back.

It’d be fun to see his tantrum shake the ground stopping overwhelming enemies in their tracks. He could then finish them with his Crystal Blast. His personality is super charged, so you’d hear him mumble to himself when not in action and shake his head. He will even turn purple when in Temper Tantrum, sending the trapped enemies green with fear. Releasing steam from his ears as stops. Earth Shake will also be able to attack Terrafin while underground, unlike any other character can. This gives a balanced foe for Terrafin during PvP.

Thanks to everyone for the great entries!
