Well, it looks like I came back in time to see the first day of the contest.
Some pretty impressive stuff so far, especially Guntz, Trunks, and Dimentio.
I know I said I wouldn't post the first day, but I'm going to anyway as a Thanksgiving gift.
Sam Lionheart
The following is not a picture of Sam Lionheart, but merely a Fire Emblem character that I feel looks fairly close to him. Differences are explained.
Sam has brown hair, which makes his beard more noticeable..
Sam wears gauntlets (hand armor), greives (foot and lower leg armor). He also wears a chest plate and shoulder plates.
Sam Lionheart's primary armor color is normal steel with gold trim, and his primary clothes color is white.
He wears a thick red cape with gold trim that is kept on using a gold pin shaped like a Lions head (kind of like what Cloud Strife uses).
Sam uses an axe with a very long handle. It is double bladed. The blades are rather large. Due to its long handle, it can technically be called a halberd. In appearance, it is somewhat close to Urvan, the SS rank Axe used by Ike's dad, Greil.
His axe also has about 1/4th of an inch of Diamond as the edge of each blade. The handle is made completely of metal and has a strap connected to it, allowing it to be worn on Sam's back when not being used. There is also a gold center in the middle of the axe head.
Sam's axe is named Gram.

Unlock Message:

Wii-Mote Sound:
Sam says "This will be fun."
Entry Pose:
Sam walks in, using his axe as a walking stick. He says "This will be a good warm-up."
How is Lionheart pronounced?:
There are 2 ways-
1- The English Way (Li-On-Heart)
2- The French Way (Le-On-Heart)
I use the French way myself, because it just sounds cool.
Sam, A Wild Fighter:
In his own universe, Sam is exceptionally strong, fast, and resourceful, but in Smash Brothers, he must be toned down to preserve balance.
Sam uses stats similar to Link, balanced speed and above average strength and reach .
Sam is a heavyweight, but also has a average and gimpable recovery.
Sam has inherited his father's forward smash, which chains well into aerials do to its unique properties.
For newer players, Sam will probably be very hard to play due to the troublesome nature of his sweetspots. On all axe attacks, if the pole (most of the weapon) is what hits the foe, the knockback and damage will be small. To get much out of the character at all, the axe blade must connect. This is similar to Marth's tipper, except much more extreme at both ends of the spectrum, ranging from pathetic to awesome.
The length of his weapon, coupled with his sweetspot means that you will need to keep the opponent at a distance.
Backstory:
The Story Of Chris Lionheart (Prequel)-
About (3000 A.D.), 16 years before Sam was born, the Kingdom of Valios was destroyed in a suprise attack by a group of barbarians, who prize strength above everything. The people, formerly known as the Barborous Legion, made the strongest among them king regardless of background. The most powerful and reknowned knight of Valios, known by many as the "Blade Demon", betrayed the King, and the entire nation, by opening the city gates to their enemies, and then slaughtering nearly the entire royal family singlehandedly. His treachery did not end there. He then became king of the Barborous Legion by defeating their King in a battle to the death and then using his new army to hunt down all remaining valians.
Hope was not lost to the Valians, however, for their prince, Chris Lionheart (Sam's father) survived that night. As he grew older, he became stronger and eventually lead the remaining Vallians to resist. It turned out that the "Blade Demon", was one of Chris's strongest knights, named Curt. This was not his true name, however, for he was really Ashencroft, a demon of fire and ash, whose only goal was to enslave humanity under his reign of darkness.
The Valian army was no match for the superior numbers of the opposing army, so Chris exploits the weakness of the Legion's government. He challenges Ashencroft to a battle to the death, and manages to win, barely keeping his own life. Chris, now King of the new Valios, an alliance between the old Vallians and the former Barborous Legion, marries his close companion, Ryann Trueshot. They have a son named Sam, who becomes one of the greatest soldiers in the nation's history.
The Story of Sam Lionheart (Sequel)-
The year is 3035 in the Kingdom of Valios (a country located in the Southeastern U.S. over 1000 years from today). The war, now named The Demons War, has ended. The Vallian's have united with the Barborous Legion, forming one new nation of Valious. The people have gradually learned to live in relative peace, even inter-marrying. All is not yet peaceful, however, as the seeds of political turmoil remain.
The very loophole that allowed King Lionheart to take the throne and unite the two opposing sides is threatening to become a weakness. As Chris grows older, he becomes weaker and less capable of fighting. Even if he is able to defend his title, there is no guarantee that future generations of his family will. Not only does this put his family at risk, but it endangers the entire country. A government ruled solely by strength is bound to be heartless and cruel towards its people. In addition, many strong warriors know nothing of leading a country, and if they took power, the nation would become weak as a result.
The only solution is to change the government of the new Valios. Though the former Legion holds a large majority of the population, many of them have become satisfied with the rule of the Lionhearts, and would thus support changing the government to a monarchy, providing that they have the option to rebel if the royal family abuses their power.
Some fundamentalists among them oppose the reign of a royal family, prefering to cling to the old Legion beliefs of strength above everything. This group has gotten together and formed a resistance force that seeks to kill off the Lionhearts and possibly even all citizens of Vallian blood.To avoid political turmoil, Chris must avoid entering the fight. Instead, his son, Sam Lionheart must lead the Royal Army against the rebels.
Sam, at the age of 18, is an inexperienced knight, recently graduating from the Royal Knight's Academy, a school that teaches all citizens, of both Vallian and Legion origins, how to be a soldier. Despite this, he is seen as qualified for the job. Not only is he a member of the royal family, but he also graduated as one of the best young knights in the nation.
What started as a small civil war eventually becomes a huge fight to stop an early Armaggedon.
Personality:
Unlike his father, Sam is a bit overconfident, sometimes even arrogant. He is also very laid-back, and very slow to stress. Though not particularly outspoken, he certainly isn't as shy as his dad was. The main similarity to his father is a inherited since of altruism (self-lessness.)
More of his personality is revealed when he meets the young Kelsey. Though he means well, he hits on her multiple times, giving her a bad first impression of him.
If you scratch the surface of this seemingly arrogant, careless boy, you will find a man with surprisingly good intentions.

Outfit #1- Sam appears as himself.
Outfit #2- Sam appears as his father, Chris Lionheart. All moves are the same, and the sword hitbox functions exactly like Sam's halberd with a tipper of the same size.

Specials:
Neutral B- Rising Morale
In the heat of battle, as the situation becomes more dire, the mark of a good commander is the ability to raise his soldier's morale.
As Sam takes more damage, his morale rises, increasing the power of his neutral B move. At low percentages, it is a rather average attack. At mid-percentages, it takes the form of a rather effective attack. Once your damage becomes high, it becomes your single most effective ground killing move.

Trophies:
Sam Lionheart- The son of Chris Lionheart, king of Valios. At the young age of 18, Sam Lionheart is a young, inexperienced commander with great potential. Though he is arrogant at times and often really laid-back, he is a self-less hero at heart. Sam's elite group is known as the Band of Legacy.
Kelsey- A 16-year-old girl with a fiery personality. Orphaned when she was an infant, she was left at the doorstep of the Royal Knight's Academy, where she has been raised since. With the help of the headmasters, she has become a skilled fencer, specializing in rapier combat. She is often a bit rude to Sam, criticizing him as being a pampered prince (and it really doesn't help that he has hit on her multiple times). Despite this, she is willing to help because she loves her country.
Siegmund- A skilled broadsword wielding knight. He is the oldest member of the Band of Legacy by far and was appointed by Chris to be Sam's superior officer. Calm, composed, and talented.
Lucas- A long sword wielding knight of great talent. He is very rude towards Sam, who he considers to be an inferior. Despite being very lazy, he can come in handy at times on the battlefield, but he is far from reliable.
Dan- The group comedian or sorts, Dan wields a bow and is quite an expert shot. When he runs out of arrows, Dan attacks with two short blades.
Adam- A member of the Band of Legacy, Adam is an accomplished wielder of lances and other polearms. Adam's personality doesn't really take any extremes, making the most adequate description of his personality "normal."
Connor- The trainee member of the Band of Legacy. He wields a spear, but not very well. The only reason why he was even invited was because Sam got a good laugh out of watching his failure. His lack of ability has lead General Garrett to coin the phrase "Conner sucks."
Michael- This member of The Band Of Legacy is shrouded in mystery. He pretty much appeared out of nowhere, quickly becoming recognized as one of the most powerful knights in the nation. He wields a very long sword with expert grace. Though almost nothing is known about him, he is trustworthy and noble, easily one of the Band's most reliable members. In truth, he is the arch-angel Michael, sent from Heaven to judge whether humanity was worthly of escaping the early Armaggedon that Ashencroft plots.
Chris Lionheart- 20 years ago, he was the Prince of Valios who fought in the great war, which has now become known as the Demons War. It was his blade that slew the demon, Ashencroft. Time has made him weaker, though he still possesses strength greater than that of the average human. He is the father of Sam.
Ryann Trueshot- The mother of Sam Lionheart. In her younger years, she was reknowned as the best archer in the land. She has been a close friend of Chris ever since the beginning of The Demons War, and hasn't left his side since. They were married shortly after that war ended.
Arden Marten- Chris's cousin and Sam's uncle. Arden has been promoted to commander of the capital city guard and has remained a very competent spearman. Similarities between the halberd and the spear have allowed Sam to take some lessons from Arden. Arden is infamous for being a womaniser, though he has really just been searching for the right woman.
Travis- One of Chris's best friends. This talented halberd wielding knight has been promoted to the ranks of general. He has tought Sam how to become an expert at halberd combat. He is very intelligent, but if you call him a nerd, he will kick your ***.
John- One of Chris's friends. This mace knight has been promoted to the ranks of a general. Personality wise, he is rather normal, but he lacks a since of humor.
Gawain- Unlike most of Chris's friends, Gawain is rather shy. Despite this, he is talented with a longsword and has become a respected general.
Garrett- True to his name, which means "strong with a spear", this snide and arrogant friend of Chris does indeed wield a spear. He is known as the relentless Valian general, because he is a bit more aggressive than the other great Valian generals. Somehow no matter how rude he is to others, they usually like him back.
Catlin- This friend of Chris believes that speed is greater than power, and his quick axe style reflects it. Despite his status as a general, he is often teased for his horrible looking mullet. His personality can best be described as eccentric.
Ashencroft- Chris defeated this demon 20 years ago in single combat, sending the demon back to hell. To Chris, and every other human on earth for that matter, Ashencroft's motives are largely unknown. Ashencroft is Hell's answer to Michael, the arch-angel (making Ashencroft the arch-demon). Ashencroft believed that he was truely the most powerful of demons and went to earth to enslave all of its inhabitants, causing Armaggedon early. With his new sword, the huge blade of Hell, Megiddo, and a complete dominance over the element of fire, this demon will rule all humanity at any cost.
The Angel Of Death- The infamous leader of the Legion Rebel group. Little is known about this man, but he is greatly feared by many. He appears on battle wielding a scythe and wearing chain mail (which is hidden by black robes.) He is a force to be reckoned with, as many soldiers have learned the hard way. His only desire is to kill, and he wants to be king only to command the valian armies and use them to take many innocent lives. Because of his abilities and simple-minded desire he has become known as "The Angel of Death."

To Be Revealed.....
Bosses:
The Angel of Death-
In order to win the war, Sam must kill the enemy commander. The self proclaimed "Angel of Death" proves to be quite a match.
Attacks:
Fear the Reaper- A powerful scythe Swing. Great range but slow. 10....25% damage and Medium....Very High Knockback.
Scythe Spin- A scythe-twirling combo for rapid hits. Great range. Fast. DI out of to escape. 1....5% damage per second.
Scythe Hook- Slams the scythe down, then pulls to bring the opponent closer. 2 Hits. Very great range but slow. 7....15% damage per hit and no knockback.
Scythe Block- Blocks an attack.
Volley- Raises his hand in the air and orders a volley. Sidestep to avoid. 15....30% and High....OHKO Knockback. (Rarely Uses)
Size- Human Size
Mobile- Yes
Health- Average Boss Health
Difficulty- 4/5 (If you know how to dodge Volley)
Ashencroft-
Sam's dad defeated him, but will Sam also have to face one of Hell's strongest demons?
Attacks:
Flaming Sword- Ashencroft's sword is ignited for the entire fight, causing a lingering effect after all slashes.
Demon Slashes- Basic sword attacks used randomly during the fight. The knockback is small. Each slash has noticeable lag. 5>20%
Apocalypse Slash- Ashencroft lifts his sword high above his head and slams it into the ground, creating a huge eruption of fire (like a fully charged Roy Neutral B in Melee except bigger.) Very high knockback, can OHKO in Intense. Very slow attack with great reach.
20>50%
Demonic Assault- A basic horizontal slash made while flying to the opponent (like Quickdraw). Decent knockback. Similar to Ridley's flying attack. 10>30%
Hellfire Aura- An aura of flame temporarily surrounds him, hurting foes in melee range (lasts 5 seconds). 1%>5% per second
Inferno Edge- Sends a wave of fire out of his sword that travels straight across the stage. Good knockback. The wave flies slightly slow. 10>20%
Rising Volcano- Points forwards with his sword. A burst of molten fire erupts under his opponent's location. Very high knockback. Similar to one of Rayquaza's attacks, but slower and with greater power and width. 20>50%
Lake of Fire- Ashencroft's strongest attack by far. Ashencroft raises his sword in the air and says "Now... go to hell!" The background of the stage becomes the color of lava, and a giant wave of fire and burning sulfur heads right for the stage. The only way to avoid this move is to properly sidestep/airdodge/roll at the exact time the move would hit. If you don't dodge this, you will be OHKO'd.! The move doesn't do a set damage amount, instead bringing your characters damage percentage right to 666% if it hits, but damage doesn't matter because of the massive knockback.
Hp- 600>3000
Size- Rougly that of Ganondorf. Wingspan is between 10-20 feet.
Mobile- Yes
Difficulty- 5/5 (A real pain in the ***.)
