Nemesis Personality Contest

So we know that, eventually at least, a Nemesis review is coming. And, presumably at least, this will include more Nemesis Personalities.
Perhaps, Cryptic, you could open up the new Personality writing to the user base. We do have a few decent writers in here, after all. (I like to think of myself as one of them, based on responses to my books and plays, but I'm just one of many.)
This could be handled somewhat like the Design A Villain contest. You could post an RTF file somewhere on the site with all of the existing Nemesis dialogue, and a page of guidelines for writing new Nemesis dialogue. Entrants would email their own work back, headed with the Personality name, description, and exemplar illustration (as Dr. Destroyer, Grond, and Foxbat are used currently).
Naturally, Cryptic would reserve the right to alter any submission before putting it into the game, especially to correct spelling, grammar, continuity errors, and such.
As for prizes/rewards, I have no idea. Ideally it should be something relevant to what's being asked for. Perhaps a free character slot, or some Zen, or something equally useful could be offered up.
Of course the Nemesis review is some time away; that's part of why I'm posting this early (just as I did with the Arch-Nemesis thread, in my Signature) -- so you folks at Cryptic can have plenty of time to consider its pros and cons, and decide whether to actually do it or not.

Signed so hard I broke my pen.
RIP Caine
Picture: Black Talon
Description: Your nemesis commits all his/her evil deeds not just for him-/herself, but for a shadowy figure refered to only as "the Master" (who turns out to be no one other than Shadow Destroyer). He/she lives to further this dark master's goals and is absolutely loyal to him.
Note: This one seems to be the easiest to be intergrated into the game.
The Greedwell
Picture: Guy Sweetland or Franklin Stone (I thought about Kevin Poe first, but no one takes him serious)
Discription: Your nemesis is deep into dirty business. No matter what kind of evil plans he/she is working out; in the end, it's all just about money.
The Occultist
Picture: Luther Black
Discription: Your nemesis uses malicious magic for his/her shadowy schemes and diabolical deeds. His/her crimes always have a mystical purpose or background, and be it just to fullfill a dark prophecy.
The General
Picture: Clyde Von Shoulz
Discription: Your nemesis is of a military or paramilitary orgin, seeking power through the both stategical and ruthless use of armed force.
The Manipulator
Picture: Menton
Discription: No matter what happens, your nemesis is always in total control of everything - or at least, he/she thinks or just pretends he/she is. However, he/she loves to play twisted and deadly games with you.
The Arch Enemy
Picture: Just a dark purple siluette with red glowing eyes.
Discription: Your nemesis is an enemy of yours for quite a time and hates you with a passion that boarders on the irrational. All he/she does serves only one purpose: To get YOU!
Side Note: The Savage's picture is in need for a change because that kind of nemesis is nothing like Grond! Maybe Ripper, Gigaton or Armadillo would be better to represent this personality.
