    It seems obvious to me it would be a no but there was talk we could team up, and I wasn't so sure. I read the rules (I think fully) but couldn't see anything about it (other than we can use them with writer permission).
    Since this is still a writing tournament, only those who have entered may participate and to enter, you must have your own army. You may use other player’s characters as heroes in your army, but they should be written by the participant, not the original owners. While it truly is impossible to police this kind of collaboration offsite, we ask you try to keep as much of your posts as your own writing. You can ask the original owners for examples of personality, character traits, or links to other threads if you are concerned about keeping the borrowed heroes “in character”. Since these armies are so massive and there could be up to 24 of them, the events within would be difficult to assimilate into permanent canon. So, please keep in mind that there is a degree of creative freedom in how each writer uses said canon and how each writer wants these events to affect their own canon.

    In short, the other players cannot write their characters as the heroes in your army, but you can ask them for pointers in how to portray them more accurately in your own writing.

    Thanks Lye. Storm wouldn't be writing for me anyway - no way I'd let him.

    So, in trying to decide whether or not Erik would actually take a spot in the army I'm building, I came upon a question. Erik is only level two. If I wanted to use him, would he take up a Hero slot? Or would he just take increased troop points?

    Because I don't know whether we actually even need our PC in the army. I don't think we do but I'm trying to make sure.

    You could always make him a hero, but he would play at his current level/abilities. You could have him be a normal troop too. Or even omit him entirely and just write an army. The choice is up to you, but you do not need to include your main character.

    Sweet. I think I will include him but as a normal troop unit, maybe have him use a higher troop cost so he keeps his Undying and strength. Thanks!

    Is it safe to presume that Heroes that are used CANNOT be used by separate teams in this tournament, and precedence is awarded to the writer?

    In Shin's case, we misunderstood this for a team effort at first. He's capable of writing my character effectively, but since I will be writing Storm for my army, it stands to reason that another character can't use him. After all, having one army with the same hero as another army would make for some stupid story conflict.

    TL:, DR no doubles and make sure you get permission before using an Althanas original character as a hero?

    Correct. No duplicates. It can stand to have some writing liberties for on-field alliances. For example, Shin's army pays a large gold sum to The Crimson Hand to help in his fight against Phi. In the next round Storm pays The Crimson Hand to assist in the fight against Shin. In that example, it's an NPC group not claimed by any one approved army.

    In short, the owner of the character obviously gets precedence over their own character. You will need permission from original writer to use their character as a hero in your own army. If someone is using a character without permission and I am requested to do something about it, I will ban usage of that hero from tournament threads or the participant will forfeit their place in the tournament without refund.
