Know anyone who looks like the 'Everquest' babe?

Sony Online Entertainment today announced a contest to find a real-life version of "EverQuest II" heroine Antonia Bayle, Queen of Qeynos.

The competition, called "Quest for Antonia," encourages women (sorry, fellas) who think they look like the fetching brunette to send in pictures to the official contest Web site beginning May 17, just enough time to give potential entrants time to dye their hair and hit the gym for that only-in-games figure.

The contest will be co-sponsored by men's gadget monthly Stuff Magazine and culminate in Las Vegas on Aug. 13. Semi-finalists will be selected from the initial group through online voting, and five finalists will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Vegas courtesy of SOE and Stuff. A pageant-style event complete with swimsuit competition and an interview session ("Peace across Norrath" anyone?) will crown the winner at the Palms Hotel & Casino.

In addition to being the object of desire of every 20th-level dwarf online, the winner will receive a one-year modeling contract with SOE, a photo spread in Stuff and additional prizes.

Looks like Lucy Lawless to me. But she'd be in another stereotype role. The woman can not escape Xena!

She needs to lose the gut. Gee, I don't even appear in any games or videos and I don't have a gut like that. A few ab crunches are in order!

Well, that stupid locust movie didn't help her cause any.  Dumbest ending I've seen in a while ... a giant bug zapper?

You might not want to say that in an open forum too often, big guy.
