Just been musing at work as it’s a oddly quiet day, what’s the feeling on a formal biographies section? I may sort Robs out over Christmas, especially as the story is at a close and fancied putting it somewhere, others may wanna do the same? Maybe not? I honestly don’t mind it’s a semi selfish request.
Screw you im going back to work.

Yes, I think it would be a great thread to post character biographies in one section of the network. But would you want them to be for each character or for the handler to talk about all characters like OOC or IC? But a great idea either way Rob.

Especially if they’re static and consistent and don’t disappear.
Seems like we lose a lot of good bios and lore when things get archived.

I was thinking in the network section so it was static. Just a place where we can put third person accounts of the life and career of their character. Think of it as a Wikipedia for the characters.

it could be a good way to find out some history on characters and stuff like that.

I think it’s a great idea. Rob, what sort of bio info are you thinking would be standard on the form?

I think the key is keep it loose Mongo, personally I’ll be angling at a wiki type feel for mine but others may want to be able to put a simple history up. For me it’s about pulling a bit more of a character’s overall story together. Especially a we have some that span a fair few years now!

Yeah but I’m thinking some sort of formatting will make things work better. So like pic, name, size, hometown, bio?

No but I like this idea. I dunno if it needs to be standardized Mongo, let it be free form and let the character decide how the topic should look. You can have a suggestion of what to include as a baseline, picbase, favorite catchphrases/moves, years active, title history what have you but let people decide what they want to put down. And yes I know coming from Mr. Organization, make everything standard gosh darnit that's hilarious but it's character bios not for a fed but for fun and history. It can be freeform

My concern for true free form is that some people (*ehem*me*ehem*) won't know how to organize it or what to include. I agree that it shouldn't be "here are the questions you MUST answer" but some examples and questions we can include would certainly help those floundering souls.

Well I think rob was more referring to you as a handlers feelings on what was important for your character. A guideline would be nice but I don't think it could encompass a handlers perspective on their own character.

I'm just thinking for a little standardization it'd make sense to have some basic stats for the characters before the bio

If you wanted to give a bare bones template (personally I’m not sure it needs one) you could just stick the following in:
Ring Name Real Name (If different) DOB/Age Born From Resides (if different) Feds Active
History
Personally I’ll be fleshing mine out a lot more but the whole point is it’s up to the handler how much they want to put together.
