Wow guys! Second place :D
This is so much more than I expected!
Congrats to Kefka on first :)
Samuel Nicholai, or S. Nich, is the current dictator of the small nation of North Pole. S. Nich rose to power shortly after the Arctic revolution, where the people of the North Pole overthrew their kind, Sir Jackson Frost.
S. Nich is often described as a "cult of personality". Large amounts of propaganda have been used to help him retain his power and wealth, while still being a charming, charismatic figure to the public.
S. Nich is currently in a standoff with the UN on account of the mistreatment of his people, and the unsafe working conditions of his countries sweatshops. The UN voted with 70% in favor of attack against the North Pole to liberate the people from their dictator, but no action has been taken as of now.
My idea for this skin was to do a massive twist on the common concept of Santa Claus. The Cult of Personality idea came from Christmas commercials, where Santa is always displayed as a cheerful, great man, similar to how many dictators portrayed themselves. His outfit was slightly inspired by the ones worn by Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong Il, and Benito Mussolini.
