User blog:Man Mountain/Character Page Formatting

As some of you know, I've been putting details of the events that takes place in the books on the respective character pages to kind of spice them up a bit (kinda my pet project) and just so we can do what we're supposed to do; inform people.

I've recently thought of an idea. On some other wikis, with character pages, they sometimes have a header called "Biography" which is basically the first thing you see once you start scrolling down. As I was scrolling across pages for some of the ES characters, I noticed that on pages like Estela Montoya, Jake McKenzie and Quinn Kelly we have history for them. I've also noticed as I'm going through books again, that we have a lot of people's history that they mention to the respective MC's. So, I was thinking why don't get some of that information while we have it and put it on the character pages as a biography.

In case you don't understand what I mean, this is an example: http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Bauer#Biography

So, let's say for example the consensus was that we agreed it was a good idea, this is how it would work:

Estela, a character in the Endless Summer series, is one of the college students who won a contest to spend a week at La Huerta. She is one of Your Character's love Interests. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance (Heading)

Estela has long brown hair tied back into a ponytail with a few strands falling loose, lightly tanned skin and brown eyes. She has a long scar on her face along her right eye, and she wears a blue hoodie over a white tank top.

In Book 2, Chapter 10, her hair is combed and she wears a silver gown with hoop earrings.

If you choose to marry her in Book 3, Chapter 10, she will wear a dress given to her by Seraxa, a necklace with a blue gem, her ponytail will be tied into a bun, and she will wearing black eyeliner.

Personality (Heading)

Estela is very mysterious and withdrawn. She seems to be afraid to open up to people because in the past, the people in her life tend to get hurt, as she reveals in Chapter 2 at the pool party, if you choose to go stargazing with her. If you gradually earn her trust and become friends with her, and take her back to your room in Chapter 14 (30 diamonds), she will reveal that she has never felt that way about any other person, and that your MC has "made her feel things she didn't know she could feel". Her profile suggests she is a determined individual who will go to extreme lengths to fight for what she belives in, using her exceptional skills taught to her by her uncle, and her mother before her passing. Out of everyone in the group, she is the most aggressive. She has a tendency to lash out at people and act violent whenever she gets mad or upset about something. She curses a lot and calls people who are wrong about her "Dumbass".

By Book 3, she has accepted the rest of the Catalysts as her friends, as shown in Chapter 3 when she doesn't want to separate from the group and in Chapter 6 when you will gain a relationship point with her if you choose to save Varyyn and Grace before the Island's Heart. She furiously blames Rourke for taking them away from her, and is willing to open up to the group and expose her caring and passionate side, although she immediately feels embarrassed afterwards.

Biography (Heading)

Early Life (Sub Heading)

Her father abandoned her when she was a baby, and she was raised by her uncle and mother in San Trobida. Her uncle taught her the family business; how to hunt, fight and kill, but her mother always dreamed of a peaceful life for them. That was why her mother worked for Rourke International, and when Estela was fifteen, her mother got reassigned to work at The Celestial. Because children weren't allowed, her mother would send her letters. One day, her mother sent her a messy, handwritten letter revealing the illegal things Everett Rourke was up to, such as doing illegal experiments (which would explain the appearance of the Giant Crab and the saber-tooth tiger, however, this is later revealed to have nothing to do with Rourke). Estela's mother was scared for her life, and begged Estela's uncle to come and take her home from La Huerta. The next time Estela received a letter (she says a week later in Book 1, Chapter 14, but a day later in Book 2, Chapter 10), it was directly from Rourke International, which stated that her mother died in a 'freak accident' - an obvious cover-up. Everett Rourke had murdered Estela's mother, and Estela dedicated all her time and efforts to getting revenge on Rourke. She forged papers to get into Hartfeld, because she learnt that Rourke had a son there, and tried to find his identity so that she could use him as a hostage to get closer to Rourke, then kill him.

However, it is revealed in Book 2, Chapter 10 that Rourke was not the one who killed Estela's mother Olivia, but Lila, who was acting on Rourke's orders. Estela attacks Lila, who eventually manages to escape when Estela becomes distracted. Estela becomes extremely sad because she is concerned that she can't trust anybody, and your character can choose to comfort her or to give her space.

Everett Rourke's file on her states that she has been known to disappear for up to years at a time, and last surfaced at a military coup. If you choose to look through the surveillance camera in Chapter 4 at what she's doing, it is revealed that she secretly slashed a painting in the ballroom with a knife, and reached behind the painting to retrieve an object that the surveillance camera did not show. This means that she knew that something was behind the painting. In Book 3, Chapter 12, it was revealed that her mother told Lila that Rourke could never get his hands on the second omega specimen (your character), and she promises to her mother that Rourke will never get his hands on you. She comes close to being caught by Grace, but manages to hide behind the ballroom doors.

In Book 2, Chapter 15, choosing the premium option where everyone says goodbye to their loved ones using the time traveling phone reveals that her uncle's name is Nicolas, whom Estela will choose to contact, telling him that she was successful in avenging her mother's death but felt hollow afterwards, or she didn't do it and acknowledges that she needed to let go of her anger if your character dissuades her. She thanks Nicolas for training her and supporting her in her vengeance mission, even though he didn't approve.

And then everything else would stay the same, but it's only the biography that would be added in.
