Other categories I'm considering are: Video Games, Crime Solvers (who aren't law officers- like Veronica Mars and Temperence Brennan), Military, and Doctors.

Also - YES, there will be characters who fit into multiple categories, but I'll put an ass-kicker into the category where she fits best, to avoid repeats. When the picks are made, you will NOT be able to add characters, to keep things simple, so add them NOW before the event to get your pick in the running. I'll leave this forum open for at least a month, so add, add, add!

Also - I will update this entry as new categories and ass-kickers are added.
