Custom Unique Agent contest FINALS, Whitestuff winner!

[pegasus]

Holy Curvaceous Catfight, Batman, look what we’ve got here. It’s the ten surviving former Nakitas duking it out for the crown, each hoping to make the ultimate upgrade from Left-Over-Squad-Figure to Contest-Winning-Unique-Hero. They’re all beautiful and deadly of course, but as somebody (may have been one of the McDirks) once said: “In the end there can be only one.”

And it’s up to you to decide who that will be. As in the semi-finals The ladies have once again agreed on a line-up based on ascending point cost. Hopefully this will make comparison of their charms and wiles slightly easier.
So please check out all contestants carefully. Don’t fall for the first pretty face you see but ask yourself if you could truly establish a working\scaping relationship with her. Pick your favourite and cast your vote.

If you roll a 2-19, inflict three wounds on the targeted hero. If you roll a 20, the Targeted Hero is destroyed. Agent Trayla may not attack any other figure until the Targeted Hero is Assassinated.

Lucky Ricochet
Once per turn, if no skulls were rolled on initial target, reroll attack dice.
If at least 1 skull is rolled, roll a D20: On a 13-19, choose a target within 3 spaces of the initial target and roll 2 attack dice.
Again, if at least 1 skull is rolled, roll another D20: On a 17-19, choose a target within 3 spaces of the secondary target and roll 1 attack die.
If a 20 is rolled at any time, the target is killed and Yukon O'Day's turn ends. No figures can be further targeted. No figure can be targeted twice in a row by Lucky Ricochet during a turn. Yukon O'Day cannot be targeted by Lucky Ricochet.

Luck of the Draw
After the targeting figure has moved, if Yukon O'Day is targeted at any time and has at least one unturned order mark on her that isn't an "X", she may go out of turn, using her order marker to take a turn before the targeting figure can attack. She may use is ability once for each time she is targeted.

Legal mumbo jumbo and disclaimer:

Spoiler Alert!

Some of you guys made splendid cards, but all entries are presented text only to keep a level playing field.
Other than correcting some typos (and probably introducing some new ones) I did not deliberately change anything in the text of any entry. Yet, to err is human, so if the text presented here is different than what you send me I goofed and I'm truly sorry. You're entitled to an apology, but nothing else.
I said there would be a two week vote, but since the semi-finals already took a week, I decided to limit the Final round to 10 days.
I will not be voting myself, but I do hold the decisive vote in case there's a tie for first place.

Pegasus, I think this was a great idea for a contest and the prize of your Gladiator repaints were a huge incentive for me. I am typically not involved with customs but this contest caught my eye.

This is by far my favorite Nakita sculpt. I was disappointed with the sculpt that was chosen for Skahen. It felt very strongly that it should have been this one. So I am glad to see this great sculpt get some much deserved recognition.

I was going to post some background on my entry for why I gave her the stats and abilities that she has and some observations from the play testing that she went through to reach her final form. However, I have since thought better of it. I realize now that I pretty much ran a smear campaign in the preliminary voting threads. Regardless of how accurate my assessments were, the comments were still driven by an effort to influence the voters. I am not going to do that again.

Thank you again for putting this on. I think it was a good exercise for all and has generated some great ideas and productive discussions.

Agent Hahn -- Simple, and a cheap Vydar hero...well done.

To All the finalists:: congrats!

[pti8]

Agent Caylen. Congrats to all who made it hear. All of these are great and it was hard to choose just one.

[rym]

Agent Grier: Her Knockout Punch Special Attack is really cool.

[pegasus]

Important public anouncement:
Rÿcheans remark made me double check the wording on Agent Hahn's card. And yes, the unforgivable has happened. The wording on the card was correct and I screwed up. My humble apology to both Agent Hahn and her creator. I corrected the entry.

[whitestuff]

I wouldn't worry pegasus. I'm sure the creator of Agent Hahn won't mind. It is not like there are lives on the line here.

I think it is great that you've had so much interest in the competition.

Congrats to everyone who got this far and good luck!

[Arcus]

Yes, you did run a bit of a smear campaign Rÿchean, but you made a ton of really good points too. Christ, you even play tested her. I wonder how many of us had the time to do that (probably everyone but me right! ). I don't know about everyone else, but your comments will help me put more thought into it the next time.

[joe5joe7]

only one vote so far...anyway, congrats to everyone who made it this far...

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

Yeah, congrats everyone!

[Einar's puppy]

Hey, mine (A.M.Y) made it to the finals. Nice!

In retrospect I should have used a different term than "head" for the vitals or nothing power, but I figured everyone would know what that is. For any clarification, yes the hair is a hit zone.

I should have changed it to "...You must be able to see more than half of her sculpt, not including the gun..." and I should have cahnged the second power to "...After the attack is resolved, you may move A.M.Y a maximum of four spaces."

Oh well, I'm pretty afar behind in the polls anyway.

[nyys]

Came down to Agent Hahn and Agent Roxie for me. Hahn got my vote in the end for simplicity.
