Defiance: Get Your Game Character in Season 2 of the TV Series

Are you at the top of the Defiance gamer heap or are you just full of shtako? Time to find out.

With the Season 1 finale airing tonight, Trion and Syfy have announced a new contest which will bring one lucky gamer into the television world of Defiance. Called "Play the Game. Join the Show," this in-game contest pits players against the game’s Arkfall events to see who can rise to the top and become the ultimate Ark Hunter. The winner’s character will appear during the second season of the TV series.

Here's how it works. The ten Ark Hunters who complete the most Major Arkfall events between July 8th (10am PDT) and July 30th (10am PDT) will compete for a chance to have their character written onto the show. These ten semifinalists will be fleshed out with backstories written by the show’s writing staff, which will then be featured on Facebook, where Defiance fans will choose their five favorites. From this pool of five finalists, a member of the Defiance team will select the final winner to appear in Season 2 of Defiance.

As you recall, this past April, Trion Worlds and Syfy ran the “Most Wanted” contest, which saw gamers competing to have their likeness included on wanted posters on an episode of the TV show. This contest, however, involves the players' actual in-game character becoming a part of the TV series.

To enter, players must register for the “Play the Game. Join the Show.” contest at www.defiance.com/en/game-show-contest, then complete as many Major Arkfalls as possible between July 8th (10am PDT) and July 30th (10am PDT). Between August 12th and August 21st, one semifinalist backstory will be posted per day. Registered Facebook users can vote for the top five characters between August 26th (3am PDT) and September 6th (8:59pm PDT), and the final winner will be selected in September. Defiance Season 2 premieres in 2014 on Syfy.
