I am interested in making some additions to user profiles, and wanted to get some feedback on it. In particular, I would like to give people the ability to make character and nation profiles. Character profiles could be used to detail characters that are used casually in the region (like my own, Inric Nordrim Kestar), those used in relation to their nations, or those used in any of our roleplays. Similarly, nation profiles could be used the same way...they would not necessarily tie in or link to a NS nation, so you could create a nation on here without having it exist in NS. I imagine this would be good for our own roleplays, for instance.
Both types of profiles would be accessible from the user profile, in that a list of nations and characters linked to that user will be listed, and people can click those links to access each profile. I'm still in the process of figuring out what fields/options should be included in these profiles. I would appreciate input, comments, and suggestions from anyone on this idea. :)
-
Input: Gosh would this be awesome. You could have multiple profiles, yes? Like the Romulan Star Empire for From the Ashes and then easily switch to Marius Ulbricht Valeria for the family RP? This is going to be AWESOME. :D
-
Yes, there could be multiple profiles. The way I imagine it working is that each character would be listed in a menu, and each nation be listed in another menu.
-
I am very ardently in favour of this proposal! :D
-
This is pretty cool. I'd really like to see this be a thing. ^_^
-
I'm glad that there's some enthusiasm behind the idea! Are there any specific features/fields/options that you believe the profiles should have?
-
I would be in support for this idea!
-
I like this idea!
-
I appreciate the support guys. :)
Any suggestions on what specifically you'd like to see in them?

In addition to specific fields, you might want to add a section where you can just put anything.

I think we have that already, although it is an extended "about me" box... I used to use it for just anything though.
-
I think keeping it basic with:
Name
Age
Gender
And an about me section and (maybe) a backstory section would work fine enough.
-
Definitely a history section. That is universal. Nations, people, worlds. All have histories...
EDIT: I'm not a history major, even if I might sound like one.
-
Haha, well it's true. History is a necessity because everyone has a backstory of some sort...and likewise, as you said, nations and even worlds have a history of how they came to be. Nations didn't just exist since the beginning of time, they were established by others. :P
-
What fields should we have for nations besides history?
-
Well for nations, it could be Political/Government Style and Dominant Religion, since both are pretty key things for a nation.
-
This would also, indirectly, solve the problem of people changing their names and no one having any clue who a particular person is. So I am definitely in favour of this. :)
-
That a wonderful idea!
EDIT:
For Character: Race if non-human or other.
For Nation: Leader, whatever the governement. And language.

In terms of the House RP that'll be starting soon, I think name, age, home city and similar fields wouldn't go too amiss. Are you planning on adding a whole new page for this, or would it be a user field under your name in your posts? Or would it be both, and clicking the RP name under someone's profile in their posts takes you to a new page with all their IC character details?

It could work out as both. Have the basics (home city, race, etc...) on the current list, and then have that and other bits including the more precise stuff (history, about, etc...) in a new profile or as an add on in the current profiles.

I love this idea, mostly because I have two nations I want to RP as, but certain nations don't fit certain era themes, like how Yaim Rusur is primarily modern and futuristic, but doesn't fit into the medieval/fantasy era while another one of my nations is very medieval based and can sorta be a modern nation with medieval views, but fits in better to a fantasy era RP. You have my full support

Thanks for your message of support! Let me know if there's anything specific you would like to see on these profiles. :)

I would suggest the name, history, Leaders/governmental important people, oh and compatible eras like medieval, modern, etc.
-
Simple stuff for the individual profiles ( Name Age House Rank in military Etc) The country should be most specific (Countries history, name, previous names etc.)

Ideology? Geography?
