History Webcomic / SMOCT

The ''SMOCT'', or ''[[http://smoct.deviantart.com/ Sailor Moon Original Character Tournament]]'', is an [[OriginalCharacterTournament OCT]] held on Website/DeviantArt (with two completed tournaments). Competitors enter original characters based on the series Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, who then fight each other in a single elimination tournament for the right to MakeAWish on the Silver Crystal! It has gained popularity since its inception, and now is one of the largest ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' tournaments held on Website/DeviantArt. While it doesn't qualify as a true WebComic, a good deal of the entries have some general plotline that the judges set and the participating artists (attempt) to follow. Not all of the comics can be considered canon, but some artists tend to follow the other competitors' comics more than others.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Just look at [[http://smoct.deviantart.com/journal/Taken-Senshi-Names-297757746 the list of Taken Senshi names]]!

* DarkIsNotEvil: Sailor Darkness and Sailor Libitina. Also, Sailor Nyx {In SMOCT2) can be considered this, being the Soldier of the Night.
** DarkIsEvil: Eclipsed Sailor Nyx in SMOCT3, as both she and Eclipsed Sailor Hemera are now counted as evil senshi. WordOfGod says that it'll be explained at some point...

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Team We're Going To Lose in SMOCT3.
* FallingChandelierOfDoom: Used and subverted in [[http://marie-berry.deviantart.com/art/smoct-round-2-page-55-184464140 Marie-Berry and Kennasaur's entry]] in [=SMOCT1=]
* FeatherFlechettes: Done by both Sailor Marin and Sailor Wing, who both use feathers in attacks, usually in the form of a FlechetteStorm

* LadyLooksLikeADude: Sailor Arim in SMOCT 2. She sometimes qualifies for [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bifauxnen Bifauxnen]], depending on the comic, but always qualifies for ButchLesbian
* LampshadeHanging: Shion brings up two good points in her round 1 comic: [[http://guitarsiren.deviantart.com/art/SMOCT-Act-1-Pg-2-316069096 Where the water from the satellite comes from]] and [[http://guitarsiren.deviantart.com/art/SMOCT-Act-1-Pg-6-316122271 where the milk comes from]]
* LightEmUp: Most notably used by Sailor Nut and Sailor Polaris

* NiceGuy: Alex/Dusk Bandit. Just because it would make people smile he let them dress him up as a girl. Can be mistaken for ObfuscatingStupidity, as he really is just a nice guy.

* BoobsOfSteel: Inverted in the Sailor Arim and Sailor Mira team.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage (possibly): Sailor Quetzalcoatl only speaks in Mayan/Aztec glyphs, and cannot be translated. However, the authors guarantee that the symbols have been researched thoroughly and make sense after all. Since we've not checked this, we can't really be the judge of that.

* BoobsOfSteel: Inverted with Sailor Arim and Sailor Mira.
