Fan Art

Do we want to include or link to fan art of characters done by the community? Other fan art has been used on the wiki and I think having 2 or 3 of the character's would be nice.--5ilver42 (talk) 18:12, 5 June 2015 (EDT)

Name changes

On Coe's stream last night Rob and Coe were talking about changing the names of the characters from Nuren, should we do so as well? FYI around the 3 hour mark http://www.twitch.tv/coestar/v/5823073. Pillowkeeper (talk) 23:59, 5 June 2015 (EDT)

Layout

We have several inconsitancies as to where headings and sub headings of character pages go. To be more specific with an example on Philhipé the History is a subsection of the Characteristics. While on Porbo History has it's own heading completely separate from Characteristics. We need to make sue everything stays the same across the board, which ever way it is done.--5ilver42 (talk) 22:46, 6 June 2015 (EDT)

I feel we should try working on this soon. Also I think we should get rid of listings of explanations of standard class abilities, those have a own page. I have made a quick outline of what I think should be the layout below. If anyone has objections, additions or just complete disagreement let me know. On a different note I also have no idea what the point of a table of appearances is for characters that only appear during one campaign so I left it out. Skydivizer (talk) 09:50, 12 June 2015 (EDT)

I don't think it makes sense to have NPCs and Enemies be in separate categories because they can be both. It seems like right now the distinction is if they are in combat or not, which is awkward in some cases where they are an NPC in one campaign and a Enemy in another. I would just have them all under NPCs and include monsters and such as basically everything I control is a "Non Player Character" Rob (talk) 04:35, 10 June 2015 (EDT)

We currently have an enemy header per campaign, Rob. As you can see, Dave is listed under Roamin's Band of Thieves under 'Enemy', and again under Porc Hunters' under 'NPCs'. So we list enemies as campaign-specific. --Razorhead (talk) 04:46, 10 June 2015 (EDT)
