Welcome to this year's tournament on /his/, now on it's fourth installment

>How do I enter a historical character?
Provide the name of the individual accompanied with an image. A country they hail from or are beholden to may also be provided.
>Who are eligible?
Any historical, religious or mythological individual. People who are still alive or died in the past 25 years should not be eclipsed in notoriety by more recent events.
>Nominations & Qualifiers
This year we're introducing qualifiers, given that the number of nominations exceeds 128 on the first or second day of nominations. If not, we're skipping to Round 1 once the required number of contestants has been achieved.
>Seeding
The seed order is given by the last two digits of the post. Further sorting is given by nomination order. Seeding also applies to the qualifiers in case of ties.
>Voting
Simply pick the contestant you prefer in the form.
>Current voting form and voting times
The current voting form can be found either in the OP post or in the replies of the anchor post below. Each round lasts 24 hours starting 21 CEST.
>Thread conduct
I will create a new thread once nominations have concluded. Beyond that I will create a thread once one reaches bump limit.

>Bracket
https://challonge.com/2nnpnu18

Beyond that, Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte and Evel Knievel are ineligible, as they have reigned as emperor prior.
>>
So if we reach 128 today, we will begin qualifiers tomorrow. If we reach 128 tomorrow qualifiers will be on the following day.

Really four. Nerva was good for one thing and that's Trajan. But it's offset by likely being involved in the assassination of Domitian.

If you wanted to nominate the creator of the anime that's fine assuming they died more than 25 years ago
