I've started on creating some "Infobox" templates for the Wiki - basicly they offer a quick summary of the vital details on whatever you're looking at.
Just for the Subjugation stuff, I'd like to get one set up for each of:
- the various faey technologies (Plasma-based energy we know about, medical advances),
- the faey ships/vehicles,
- weapons,
- characters
- Noble houses
- Species
- Planets
- Empires / Civilisations
I'd like to do the same for the Sennadar ones too.
As a starting point, and bit of example of where I'd like to go - I've set up an Infobox for Subjugation Characters - it displays:
- Character Name
- Any Aliases (if known)
- When and Where Born
- When and Where Died (if known and dead)
- Noble House, and position within that house (if a member of a noble house)
- Spouse/Partner (if married/attached)
- Parents (if known)
- Children (if any/known)
Probably should also add to that
- when and where married, if known.
- Occupation or Speciality (eg: Inventor, Marine, etc)
It required a whole stack of stuffing around, installing extensions, and figuring out the coding required to make the conditional bits in the template work.
I've also started in on detailing Jason's profile and background.
It's detailed - very detailed, maybe too detailed?
And if you haven't read up to the latest chapters of Subjugation - it's going to spoil it for you. There are spoiler warnings at the top of the page though.
Of course - Jason's character is going to be one of the most involved, since the story is almost entirely told from his perspective.
Anyway, for a demo of the whole concept - check out
Jason Fox on the Wiki.
I've basicly spent my entire 6 hours since getting home, setting this up, and writing an example post - It's now midnight (exactly) - off to grab dinner!
(Yes, I got posessed by this and needed to get it done)
