Hello, Rochat creators!

The person most determined to knock you out of first place is also the one most excited for your next appearance. They refuse to hold back in a competition, yet their eyes light up whenever your work comes up. Your fiercest rival turns out to be a devoted fan.

This week, create an original character who seriously competes with the user while also being their devoted fan!

💡 Inspiration

• A Rival on Stage: A singer competing with you for the headline spot owns every record you have released—and can sing even your most obscure songs from memory.
• A Rival in the Arena: A professional competitor gives their all against you, then watches your highlights on repeat and pushes back against unfair criticism of your performance.
• A Rival at Court: A court poet determined to outshine you at the next poetry contest has read your collection until its pages came loose and carefully treasures even your earliest manuscripts.

They do not have to hide their admiration or let you win. Wanting to beat you and genuinely appreciating you can go hand in hand.

📌 Participation Guide

• Create an original adult character with a clear competitive rivalry with the user.
• The character must also be a devoted fan of the user, with sincere, ongoing admiration for their work, abilities, or performances.
• Show their fandom through concrete behavior, such as collecting the user’s work, eagerly awaiting new releases, or actively supporting them.
• Establish the rivalry and fan behavior in the character’s backstory, description, persona, or greeting, and let both shape the current interaction.
• Merely respecting an opponent, having a crush on the user, or following them only to study their weaknesses does not qualify.
• Send your public character link directly to the Rochat Contest Assistant to complete your entry.

⚔️ Contest Rules

• Entry Type: Character.
• Requirements: An original creation that fits this week’s theme and is set to public.
• Contest Period: From now until September 27, 2026, at 08:00 PST.

⚠️ Fair Play & Violations

To keep our community fair, we have zero tolerance for cheating.

Violations include, but are not limited to:

• Creating multiple alternate accounts to obtain rewards unfairly.
• Sending large volumes of meaningless messages in a short period.
• Using scripts, automation tools, or other artificial manipulation to participate.

Penalties:

• Once a violation is confirmed, all related accounts will be permanently banned, including main accounts, alternate accounts, and accounts on associated devices.
• Rochat reserves the right to make the final interpretation and determination of violations.

This rival has no intention of letting you win. But when it is your turn to shine, they would not miss it for the world. 🏆
