Character Plate

''This article is about Character Plates. For the main Ms. /co/ page, see Ms. /co/ Tournaments. For the main Mr. /co/lympus page, see Mr. /co/lympus Tournaments''. In the Mr. and Ms. /co/ tournaments, the character plate refers to the character's icon within the bracket. It is generally a badge of honor to be given a character plate, due to the considerable amount of contestants nominated. Every character who successfully makes it to the final bracket of 128 characters in a tournament receives a character plate which is then used in the final bracket design.

The character plate is rectangular and contains the character's name in white text with a black outline, a image of the character (which may or may not be the image used to nominate the character) enclosed in a circle that will be on the left or right side depending on what side of the bracket the character is on, and a background that can consist of a location in their property, a pattern of significance to the character, or another related reference.

Starting with the Tag-Team Tournament 2020, Tag-Team tournaments received a variant of the character brackets. these are larger in scale and include images of the two nominated characters, a connecting background image and the name of the team as opposed to the names of the individual characters

Judges for the tournaments will have similar circle character icons created for them and placed on the final bracket, but without any name attached or background design.

Not to be confused with brackets, the official chart that is used for each tournament.

Ms. /co/
Originally, the Ms. /co/ host used a cropped square of the character’s nominated image and the character’s name place next to it to fill each slot on the bracket. Starting with Ms. /co/ 2020 character plates have been made for each character, with the deliberate exception of Ms. /co/ 2019. In 2020, the host remade the 2018 brackets with new character plates and posted them during the nomination round.

Mr. /co/lympus
Originally, the Mr. /co/ Tourney Anon refused to make a bracket image but another anon called Statis Anon created a bracket image and character plates similar to the Ms. /co/ OP except with added vote counts. In 2019, an anon called “Bracket Anon” volunteered to create special character plates that have now become standard and all subsequent brackets have used similar designs. After the creation of character plates, Bracket Anon leaves it in the thread and Statis Anon puts them onto the bracket and continually updates it with vote counts and winning matchups. Due to file size, the host puts it in a imgur link in the OP text. Due to a password incident, “Bracket Anon” quit making these. The following year another anon named “Bracket Anon” took her place. After this, is is assumed the host has no responsibility in making character plates as someone will always volunteer to do it.

Unused Character Plates
The anons volunteering to make plates have no idea which characters will make the 128-cutoff, therefore some character plates will go unused. These plates were made prior to the Round 1 reveal but were not place on the finalized bracket. This is an incomplete list.
