Okay, so a little while ago a mentioned I was working on a project; I think it's about time I start to discuss it.

It came about as me looking through the Oblivion wiki and, for some reason, I typed my characters Breeva's name into the search bar. Obviously nothing came up... so it got me to thinking; maybe there should be a wiki page where people can create a page dedicated to their characters?

An in depth and fun guide for people to look up to find out everything there is to know about peoples characters?

The pages will include a start to finish guide on the characters journey, a background guide, quotes, notable missions, relationships, stat info... basically everything you would find on a wiki regarding NPC's.

I'm starting work on it, but it would be great to have people on board!

It will be for ES and FO characters smile.gif

I would go into more detail, but I'm finding git hard to get the words out... so ask me about it! biggrin.gif

I think it would be a great way

Thank you! I really can't wait to get started properly, and I hope people are on board! It will probably be a while for it to be up and running as I understand some people wont have a lot of time on their hands to contribute... but Rome wasn;t built in a day!

I just need a name for the wiki, now! Ideas?
mirocu
Iīm very certain Iīll pitch in with my two characters and Iīm positive Acadian and others will too smile.gif

Since itīs not only TES and not only FO... Something like Bethesda Characters wiki or similar. I wouldnīt name it RPG Characters wiki cause that could involve any RPG like WoW and others. We want to focus on these two Beth game franchises, right? smile.gif
King Coin
I'd definitely add Aravi.

Actually including others might not be a bad idea, but this is Eva's project so she'll have to define the scope.

She mentioned TES and FO so Iīm focusing on that. If she changes her mind then so be it smile.gif
Diamandis
Well I was thinking more or of a page for game and characters frequently mentioned on here... but I think that a general Bethesda character guide might be batter and cast a wider net smile.gif

EDIT: Although personally, I will be heavily focusing more on ES and FO
mirocu
I think you have a nice niche there, Eva. Beth characters includes many games besides TES and FO and provides a wide range of characters anyway smile.gif

Thank you smile.gif

This wiki thing is hard to use! I'm trying to do my page for Eva to use as a template... but it's not going very well! Haha. Ah well, practice makes perfect!

EDIT: Also, if you guys already know ho to do Wiki pages, feel free to get started if you want to smile.gif http://bethesdaocg.wikia.com/

Wow...Ambitious... smile.gif ...

Fair dues...

I apologise for not being able to join in...Not sure I have the time to be honest...Or could pick which of the ES characters to put in...They're all limelight hoggers... biggrin.gif ...

But, a wholehearted good luck to you with it... goodjob.gif ...
Elisabeth Hollow
Sounds like fun!
Grits
Sounds good, Eva. I'm afraid I'm one of the ones who will need your template, since I don't have a clue how to make a page. But I do have a lot of characters! smile.gif
Diamandis
Im browsing online for a good guide.on how to.create a wiki page. Should help smile.gif
Black Hand
Fantastic idea and well thought out! I shall proceed to make a few entries of my own when I return home.
PhonAntiPhon
That's a great idea!

I would be up for adding Niamh! smile.gif
King Coin

I'll probably add to Aravi's page, but she's the only character that I have played with for any length of time.

Awesome!! ohmy.gif

Iīd love to make a page meself if I only knew how! tongue.gif laugh.gif
King Coin
It was actually very easy. Just find and choose the option 'add a page.' Then ignore all that code looking stuff and type your content into that tiny sliver of a text box. You can preview the page whenever and when you are ready press the publish button.
mirocu
I may check it out at some point smile.gif
SubRosa
I think this is a very neat idea! I have seen similar things for Everquest, and I think a few other games as well.
Grits
Aravi's page looks great! Thanks for the tip, KC. smile.gif
Diamandis
Wow! I'm so thrilled that so many of you are interested! I thought this project would equal disaster... but it's going off to a great start! biggrin.gif

Hmm well that's strange... my deletion has decided to un-delete itself...

maybe my computer is just playing up because I definitley deleted it! haha
King Coin
Nope, still there. Try again? Look for some sort of confirmation button.
SubRosa
I added a page on Aela.

How is this project coming along? Any new contributors? As for meself I have yet to find inspiration for Lothranīs page, sorry ībout that... biggrin.gif
mirocu
Lothranīs page is up!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
ThatSkyrimGuy
I am going to put a page up for Valrimor eventually. I have to wait until his story is a bit further along so as not to give any spoilers. There is still some character development left to be revealed to the readers. wink.gif
mirocu
Where are you, Diamandis?? panic.gif
Colonel Mustard
Yep, moderate threadomancy here, but I only just saw this.

First off, this idea is absolutely awesome. Secondly, can I add a page for what I've started calling "The Mustard Isles"; it's not a character (duh!) but it's the take on the Shivering Isles I used in my Madgod story, and I'd quite like to do a wiki page on it, even if it's just so I can have some fun showing off the worldbuilding I did for Madgod. Chyahs!
