Okies, I've been thinking that I could set up a database of everyone's RPG characters - this would mean you wouldn't need to search through a load of pages of the Characters thread to find whether a member is being true to ther character or not - all you'd need to do would be to click on the member's name somewhere (possibly in the Memberlist or I could set up a separate list devoted to just members who have an RPG character, or I MAY be able to tweak the board so that it has an RPG character link under all posts).
If folks want me to do this I'll give it priority - I'll need to know all the fields that are required (and whether any should be optional or obligatory). For example the following fields could be used:
Name (obligatory)
Age (should year of birth be used instead, then compared to the year at the start of the particular RPG to give a "year of study" or age if too old to be a student?)
Blood
Year (if student) (see Age above)
House:
Best subject whilst at school:
Worst subject whilst at school:
Occupation (If adult)
Wand
Pet
Best Friends
Broomstick
Quidditch Position (optional)
Greatest fear (maybe?)
Additional Info or special ability: (optional)
Any more fields which should be used?
By the way, this is just an idea - we don't have to get it set up in datbase form so if you think it is a bad idea or a good idea, please do say.
