Thanks, that's certainly useful. I keep going back to the main page of the saga trying to identify who is what. THat'll make things simpler.

Maximilian's short descrption should probably mention his skills in Ignem magic -- he would be known for Ignem more than for Herbam at this point.

3

I agree, this is going to be very useful.

The only thing I can think of to add would be the colours the characters talk in, once they've been established.

4

That's an excellent idea. I'll put them in their proper colors once they're settled.

5

I changed Orion's color, since it was identical to that used by Aureliano.

6

Omphalos uses red, which is why I switched Maximilian over to brown.

7

But then he used a Blue-ish color in a later post. That's why I didn't put in a color for him.

8

Right. That's the color he had initially used for Aureliano (the redcap), but it sure does look like he was using it for Omphalos for the later post.

9

yeah i was a dipshit and flipped it first post sposed to be red for redcap and omphalos sky blue

10

Which color would you prefer to use for each of them?

11

Aureliano the farthest lower left color

and Omphalos forth from the left on the top row
