If there is a possibility that your nominated character or group doesn't appear to qualify based on a quick google search, or if you expect there will be questions about your nomination, please leave a comment here with the necessary context.

For example:

"I'm nominating Nick Fury under Marvel's Ultimate Universe. The search results might be confusing since there are so many Nick Furies, but the Ultimate Universe version of Fury is Black."

Or:

"I want to nominate James Nichols from Eric Flint's Ring of Fire books. Since he might not come up on google search, I wanted to let you know he's canonically Black."

I have a question - would characters from a fantasy setting inspired by Greece apply to the exchange? In Castlevania series, Hector is portrayed as significantly darker than other European characters, and in Captive Prince series, northernly characters often note the strikingly different appearance of the fantasy Greek protagonist Damianos.

Damianos would definitely qualify. That nomination will be accepted without issue.

At this time, our policy is to err on the side of being more inclusive than less inclusive. If you feel that Hector's portrayal in Castlevania qualifies him as chromatic per the rules, we'll trust your judgement and accept the nomination.

Thank you! I nominated Damianos under his English name Damen as well as his children.
