[[http://the-salt-islands-oct.deviantart.com/ The Salt Islands OCT]] is an {{OriginalCharacterTournament}}. It is based in the fictional Salt Islands, where the demon, Heath Stockholm, killed the royal family 10 years ago. Now it is 1910 and he has risen again, and he is being hunted by two parties: Inspector Mardra J. Finch, who wants him alive, and Marius Pernod, who wants him dead. Contestants may also choose a third side, which is to protect Heath Stockholm for the favor of the spirits.
