Character profiles?

Nina wrote:Oh god, acronyms. Patricia are you secretly a member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood? If so, please send me a Rhage.

Just kidding, I like it. We're going to need a glossary or something, though.

What about Judd - would he be considered SFS or something entirely different?

Why? Are there lots of acronyms? I mean, I read the first books in German AND English and never noticed much in the latest two or three (which I only read in English). oô

But.. yep. I'm living there. Actually I'm sitting next to V, who always wants to know what I'm wriALsödjqwerouihsdfkjlaseliuw Okay, I can't write that, it seems. Nah, Rhage is MINE. *_* Actually they are all mine. Yes. All of them. xD

Judd is SFS I think. I mean, he understands what the Arrows want. But he knows that there is no way around it. Silence does have to fall. If not, everyone's gonna die in the Net. Slowly, yes. But eventually. And with them, they'll take a lot of other people down, too, since they're going to be insane, right? (->Sunshine) Or how would you classify him? Wonder if I missed something.

I already started a little html-thingie, but I don't like how it looks till now. Really have to come up with something better.

table-html looks stupid, but lists do, too. Since there are no pictures of the characters and I hate it when there are pictures of e.g. models/actors, when there is no movie/tv-show at all, it's quite .. difficult. I think I'll have to ask a friend to work out some simple multicolored 140x300 jpegs that I can put in instead of the 'real' pictures until a. Nalini upolads some pics or b. there is a movie/tv-show.

What DO we actually need for something like that bible-thing?

We have our 'simple' character profiles. I will write down all the texts about Silence, hoping that I didn't forget anything (ha! xD). Um, then family trees and the Nets (LaurenNet etc.). The Plot (I mean like: Year X: Sascha is born, Year Y: Sascha mates with Lucas Year O: Baby is born etc.) Suggestions?

Nina wrote:*I read sobs as slobs an was like "well now, I suppose insulting their hygiene could steer them towards the light..."

lmfao. Yes, that was the plan xD

Nalini said this:

Nathan - dark, near-black hair, a few threads of silver; Kaleb - black

=)

Tracy, you are a goddess! Updated the two profiles.

Patricia - AWOL, BOC, PNG, POS, SOB, SOL, SOP, TLC, AARP, BMOC, DL, FNG, FUBAR, FYI, IMHO, ITA, MFN, MYOB, OD, OMG, OPP, PNG, POS, POV, PTSD, RTFM, TBH, TO, WASP, WTF, R&W, PDQ... And you are a very selfish person, hogging the only truly cheerful brother like that

As for Judd, I was just wondering (read 'over thinking') since he talks about how silence is necessary for some. I think SFS is the most appropriate.

Ummm, for the bible... maybe a list of people mentioned and who they're associated with. I have a lot of that (surprise), just random people mentioned to be DR or SD or evil...I mean Pure Psy, etc. For example: all we know about Nicki is that she's a young DR apprenticed to Keely/Keelie.

If you don't mind can you send those files to me so I can edit them into html? email is urbanreading [ät] hotmail [dot] de

Wtf, could you translate all those acronyms, please? I notice them damn often and I never really get what they mean. >_< Hey, he even has beautiful feet (and I hate feet!), what can I say? ;]

I think that the juveniles should be mentioned, cause they are... the future... you know what i mean? So start the profiles and add new informations when we get some

I just started the whole wikia thing and goddamnit, that's .. GR! Link: http://psychangeling.wikia.com/wiki/Psy/Changeling_Wiki

Board: https://nalini.forumotion.com/t191-psy-changeling-wiki

Feel free to join this fucking thing.. Um, okay. I mean.. this awesome Wiki! *_* ;p

I would like to help, but I´m absolutely dumb with things like websites etc.
Can´t handle excel - so I make all my charts with word

I appreciate your work, Patricia!! Keep on rockin´, girl

Haha, I know that. When I started doing it I was a noob. If you want to do something and have time later, you could write down some things (with Word ;D).

I'm rock'n'roll! B)

Sarah, you must learn excel... it is addicting, bwahaha The little cells, the comment option, all the neat little functions... *sigh* I need help, lol.

If you don't mind can you send those files to me so I can edit them into html? email is urbanreading [ät] hotmail [dot] de

Which files?

In addition to acronyms the brothers seem to know more text speak than my sixteen year old sister. I don't even know what some of them mean... what the heck is UA Hugh??

AWOL (Away without leave), POS (Piece of shit), SOL (shit outta luck), TLC (tender loving care), AARP (American Association of retired persons), BMOC (big man on campus), FNG (fucking new guy), FYI (for your information), IMHO (in my humble opinion), MFN (motherf-ing), MYOB (mind your own business), OD (overdose), OMG (oh my god), POV (point of view), PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), WASP (white anglo-saxon protestant), R&W (ready & willing), PDQ (pretty darn/damn quick). I don't know about RTFM, TBH, TO, FUBAR, DL, ITA, BOC, PNG, SOP, OPP or PNG.

png is a fileending xD though they meant something else, I'm sure.

The excel-files.. um, the things where you wrote eg the character profiles down. Wanted to write everything down, but it seems you have everything already xD

Ah. My excel sheets aren't organized enough... I'm inserting the info into the format you suggested. I could send you the .docx files, though. I've got the DR sentinels & their mates done and I'm working on SnowDancer's lieutenants now.

I'll clean up one of the excel sheets and send you one.

Hah! PNG means persona non grata, evidently! I'll have to have urbandictionary.com up when I read the next book, lol.

Do my best My mom thinks I´m crazy cause I started to re-read the books again... I write down some stuff and send you a mail (yes, I´m able to do that ) Hope it happens this week, but not promising anything

P.S.: My English really sucks after a little nappy XD

Oh, you guys are awesome, seriously!!

My English sucks all the time, sooo.. Btw, you can write those things in German, if you'd like to. Aww, *giggles*

Persona non grata.. Ftw, that's .. haha. Like it.

Trust me, your English does not suck, either of you. Your grammar, spelling, punctuation... um... everything is better than a lot of college students over here (USA.) Our school systems don't emphasize proper writing/speaking as much anymore *genuinely sad*

I wish my Spanish was half as good.

Thanks, Nina.
I´m through with Slave to Sensation and Visions of Heat, but I don´t know which things I should write down...

@ Nina: Maybe you could make a list of charakters you´ve finished, already started etc.

You don't need to do that anytime soon, anyway.

Thank you :'D. But still, I can't articulate my thoughts the way I want to, which is highly upsetting. Oh! Spanish! I wanted to learn it and might start this summer or next spring *_* My Latin sucks, my Vietnamese isn't even.. well, I can ask someone if he wants to go to the restroom with me. Helpfull, isn't it?

About a list of characters -
Do you think we could come up with a list of characters that need profiles (like Sascha, Judd, Indigo, Tatiana, etc.) Then I could tell you if I have info on them and how much. That way we could know which characters to just put in a list of "people mentioned."

Patricia - I sent you the spreadsheet. Let me know if it comes through alright.

I can get by (barely) when speaking in Spanish but my vocabulary is so limited. I can read it much better than I speak or write in it. I know the words when they are in front of me but when I go to use them they're gone. But it's such a beautiful sounding language!
My Latin sucks too, though I like the language. I'm learning Japanese right now. It's fun but it's very different from anything I'm used to. It feels like I'm learning another way of thinking about the world.

Yeah, I think that´s a good idea... I think that characters with an own book need a profile. I mean they were important enough to get their own story...
So this would be the list according to the released books (not novellas):

Sascha, Lucas, Faith, Vaughn, Judd, Brenna, Tally, Clay, Ashaya, Dorian, Mercy, Riley, Katya, Dev, Sophia, Max, Indigo, Drew (Sienna, Hawke)

And then people like Tammy and Nate, which belong to the "basic cast"
And of course the Psy- Councilors

"Just mentioned" people - that´s kinda hard, don´t know where to put some people

What´s your opinion??

Yup, Patricia is right, it's sometimes really upsetting. Some words just don't...well they mean the same thing but they just don't fit. Because in some way, they just don't mean the same thing. As you see, I can't express my thoughts entirely like I want to, and yes, that's upsetting.

I'm good at Latin and Ancient Greek, but I have to since I'm studying philosophy and Latin is still a requirement. Greek is not, but it's recommended to at least know some of it.
My French was better in school, nowadays I can hardly make use of it. I can't make myself read french books, but I should or I'll forget too much.
At the moment I'm really busy but I want to learn another language. Maybe Arabic or Chinese.


I'm with Sarah18, the "main" characters need a profile.

Btw, never had Latin; always wanted to learn Spanish and ended up with French I still know some basic stuff, but that´s all... Hated my teacher back then... Although he really liked me... Mad world

Haha, just recognised that I always mentioned the heroines first in my upper comment - except for Judd Got a slightly weakness for this guy

I can neither speak French nor Spanish nor any other language. My father and I have a rather psy-like relationship, and the languages my mom speaks, I for some reason never bothered to learn. :/
My latin was.. well, I have my Latinum and I got mostly As or Bs, but I can't speak it, since we never learned it that way. We simply had to translate from Latin to German and I don't learn things that way. Soo, yeah, well.. I really want to learn some other languages, because come on, one year and nothing to do.

Nina, I got the sheet and it seems to work fine, but I don't know how to get the informations that open up when I go over them with the mouse (you know what I mean?). I'm not working with Windows Excel, but Open Office and even there I never used Excel xD

But damn, all those informations! Epic!

I'm sorry about that. I can feel your anger and totally understand it.
I also do not "speak" Latin and Ancient Greek. There's a reason why they're called dead languages. But I have to translate a lot and it also helps with italian. I can't speak it but I can read some.

No, I'm not really angry, I think I'm just.. well, I'd obviously prefer it to be otherwise, but there's little one can do about that.

Oooh Italian. Another language that I could try to learn... Hmm, I really have to google some languages and buy books/mp3s that teach em.

Okay, this is SO not about character-profiles xDD Um, ah! Yes! Who was the one who spoke several languages? Dorian?

It would be sooo Dorian if he spoke some different languages - boy genius ^^

Sorry for your father-daughter-realtionship, but nevermind my father and I am able to speak the same languages and we don´t have any relationship... For me he´s just the guy who made me... Or something that´s not nice to say out loud... Silence is my reality, kinda sad but I dealt with it for 18 years (then he left my mom and us - thank God) and will deal with it for the rest of my life

That was SO off-topic, sorry

We need an Off-Topic soundtrack, like with Psycho in the shower. And a dance! POLKA! .. just mentioning. Oh and answered to the rest here: https://nalini.forumotion.com/t188p20-off-topic
