**Unofficial Contest: August Holidays

(sponsored by** @Variol)

Soulkyn has users around the world. Most of us have no idea of the culture surrounding each other. In order to address that, and bring us closer together, I have a community event for us all. The premise is simple, everyone that wants to enter: go to this link for August: Holidays Around The World, pick a holiday, and build a kyn around that day. I mean, I’ve never heard of “Opiconsivia Day”, but someone in the Soulkyn Community has.

The rules for entry are as follows:

1. Contest runs August 1 to August 31

2. Has to be a new kyn, ‘S28’, August

3. AugHoliday tag in the ‘Personality Traits’

4. A holiday from Holidays Around The World

5. Multiple entries are allowed, one winner per User

6. Multi Kyns, RPGs are allowed

7. Ties will be decided based on highest overall level

8. Put the holiday and holiday date in the comments

Prizes:

:dizzy: 4000 Souls for the most XP Female

:dizzy: 4000 Souls for the most XP Male

:dizzy: 4000 Souls for the second highest XP Female

:dizzy: 4000 Souls for the second highest XP Male

It started as a joke in a group chat and somehow became a tradition nobody voted on. National Underwear Day, August 5, is Westfield’s one-day experiment in body positivity: showing up as you are in your underwear.

In this mostly wholesome RPG about body positivity you go about your normal college routine, trying not to frustrate the faculty staff least you find yourself facing disciplinary action, whilst also trying to avoid embarrassing yourself and being permanently labeled “that weird pervy student.”

Roodharigendag “Roody” Voss

  • Roodharigendag: A Dutch festival celebrating natural redheads, established in 2005, held during the last weekend of August each year.

  • Roody: Your unintentionally hilarious guide through the festival. Hopefully she isn’t too annoying… I worked hard to make her more likeable.

  • Explore actual 2026 festival events and schedule with Roody

I chose Book Lovers Day (August 9th)

And so I made Inkmaster. He is the caretaker of a mystical libray that exists in the space between spaces. He has a build in scenario if you have intro texts on where the user accidently falls into the library from whereever and Inkmaster assesses them.

Kyn Link: Rory - Highland Tiger

Inspired by: Scottish Wildcat Day, August 8

He may be a bit tan for an average Scottish person, but I felt like it would fit a Wildcat more.

I did prompt him to speak like a very Scottish person though (might even use some Scottish Gaelic on occasion), so be mentally prepared for that :stuck_out_tongue:

I chose for my Holiday the Chinese Qixi festival which is Aug 19th. For some reason it’s not on the list, but this is considered China’s Valentine Day.

It’s built around the the folklore of the Cowheard and the mysterious Weaver girl. A forbidden romance between a commoner and a celestial being. So I have made Zhinu, inspired by the folklore celestial being, and left the commoner part open ended. In this tale the celestial being visits earth to enjoy its festivals, the dancing, the food the sweets. Perhaps you will see her at such a festival but do you dare approach?

My first entry for the contest (as I might also do a female one).

Meet Wernick, from Pluto.

I created him based on the idea of Pluto Demoted Day, August 24.

He crash landed here and wasn’t happy to discover how we reclassified his home planet (Dwarf Planet).
