I would just like to note, that I didn't knock off points for things like grammar, poor sentence structure etc. etc. I also didn't do how the character is role played. A lot of our players to not speak/write English as a first language, and I think it's pretty unfair to judge on perfect English for that reason.

I looked for things like: what does the role tell me about the player, do the chapters move the character concept along (rather than uneeded fluff), does this role foster roleplaying (a role of I'm going to kill everyone doesn't appeal to me) and is this an interesting/unique concept. Some humor didn't hurt either. There's a lot of people that can write a role with near perfect English, and still manage to tell me nothing about the character.

All that being said, role contests are totally subjective. Everyone has their own set of standards.
