Hello Admins,
Can I suggest a addition to the website of character Bio pages, maybe in the style of a military Service Record.
I would second that suggestion, but the military service record format would probably only work for the characters that were in the EDF. Perhaps the rest could be in the style of an intelligence report prepared by Lieutenant Commander Nash?
Sounds OK But do it as Alliance Intelligence reports and Alliance Service Records, As this will probable not be ready until after the end of Part 1. It could then be up dated at the need of each part maybe you could add a filter so new comers to the series can only see the information for the part / books they have read?
If the site admins were to do it, the format of Alliance service records and intelligence reports would work nicely. Hopefully they will add them.
I Think that Alliance Intelligence Cards would be a nice touch.

I would avoid any kind of image as part of the fun is putting you own face to the story.
I have to agree with Palmer about the photos or sketches. Unless they would use an official photo of the individual approved by Mr. Brown, I would leave it with an empty outline of a person and use one of two outlines (one for male and one for female).
When I started writing episode 1, I had (and still have) photos (head shots from some Canadian agency) of people that looked like how I saw the characters. I stopped looking at them after episode 1, and chose not to describe the physical attributes of the characters any more than absolutely necessary.
