Okay, since we're just about done with the RPG, I've gone ahead and started collecting all the information I need to write up the fanfic based on it. To those ends, I'm creating this thread so I can keep y'all informed as to its status as well as help me along in getting more information as I need it.

First up, character bios. I have managed to compile a fair bit of information on each of the main characters.
-----
Name: Nack The Weasel Aliases: Fang the Sniper
Species: Weasel/Wolf Gender: Male Age: 34 Hair/Fur: Purple Eyes: Green Height: 3' 11" (119.3cm) Weight: 80 lbs. (36.2kg)
Ususual Traits: Higher than average reaction time. Occupation: Bounty Hunter/Mercenary Gear: Gas pistol, ion pistol, two laser pistols, various hand-to-hand weapons, hover bike, bag o'tricks (filled with various nifty gadgets), titanium-toed boots, lined duster (with various secret pockets).
General Info: Not much is known about Nack's childhood before the age of fifteen, when he ran away from home and ended up living with a group of elite computer hackers hidden within the cracks of Mobotropolis' alleyway system. Though he managed to learn a great deal about computers from his new family, he found that he much prefered more physical activities and spent much of his time working as a bodyguard for them as they scurried around the city. Eventually his talents were noticed by the Bounty Hunter Guild and he was called upon to join their number. Only in his early twenties, Nack soon became known as the most feared bounty hunter alive, having a nearly 100% collection rate.
Warlord Julian's coup and subsequent transformation into the dread Dr. Ivo Robotnik nearly put an end to all of this, but Nack managed to get out of Mobotropolis before he was captured and roboticized. He has spent the past several years moving from place to place, taking on whatever odd jobs he could from the various Freedom Fighter cells and individual refugees scattered across the planet.
-----
Name: Kaige The Dragon Aliases: Big Red
Species: Red Dragon Gender: Male Age: 24 Scales: Red Eyes: Green Height: 6' 6" (2m) Length: 10' (3m) Weight: 600 lbs (272.2kg)
Ususual Traits: Um, he's a big damn dragon. Occupation: Freedom Fighter Gear: Thick hide, sharp claws and teeth, fire-breath, strong tail, gear belt.
General Info: Seperated from his once mighty Clan at a very young age through the machinations of Dr. Robotnik, Kaige has become very dedicated to helping overthrow the fat tyrant once and for all. He has a fairly short temper, but he usually manages to be quite a nice guy . . . unless you happen to get under his scales. His Red Dragon heritage contributes greatly to his strong stubborn streak and excruciatingly honest demeanor, but under his cold leahery exterior beats a heart of gold, full to the brim with a fierce loyalty to his new "Clan". He will protect his friends at all costs and will never leave anyone behind for any reason. He also has a thoughtful side that he only shows to those he trusts most.
His general duties for the Centerpoint Freedom Fighters include aerial recon, forcible SWATbot dismantling, and occaisional guard duty. He's also taken it upon himself as a personal matter to keep an eye on a certain purple weasel during his stay in Centerpoint.
-----
Name: Sir Maxamillian Starlite Aliases: Wildfire
Species: Fox Gender: Male Age: 16 Hair/Fur: Orange & White Eyes: Green Height: 3' 7" (109.2cm) Weight: 68 lbs. (31kg)
Ususual Traits: None. Occupation: Knight Regent to the House of Acorn/Freedom Fighter Gear: Sword, plasma pistol.
General Info: Max was the son of an influential knight attached to the House of Acorn prior to Warlord Julian's coup. On the day of the takeover, he witnessed his own father's death at Robotnik's hands. After escaping to the Great Forest, he spent most of his time with his friend Blade until the hedgehog was caught during a supply raid in Robotropolis. While on a rescue mission to save Blade, he met up with Sonic The Hedgehog. After the Freedom Fighter's mission was completed, Max and Blade were brough back to Knothole as refugees.
Wildfire refused to sit still even for a moment at the village and ended up accompanying the Freedom Fighters on a mission to destroy an experimental battle cruiser that Robotnik was developing. During that mission, he managed to save Princess Sally from Robotnik's iron grip and destroyed the aircraft, making a name for himself among the FF and a dire enemy in Robotropolis. In recognition of his deeds and lineage, he was knighted during the celebration at Knothole. Since then he has become a considerable thorn in Robotnik's side and waits for the day when he can finally exact revenge for his fallen father.
-----
Name: Ryan Scott Aliases: Chief
Species: Fox Gender: Male Age: 20 Hair/Fur: Red Eyes: Blue Height: 3' 5" (41cm) Weight: 63 lbs.(28.5kg)
Ususual Traits: None. Occupation: Mercenary Gear: Two 9mm pistols, sniper rifle, dagger, sword.
General Info: Orphaned at the age of three when his paranet were murdered during a robbery, Ryan was adopted by a weapons store owner by the name of David Hit. Sometime after Warlord Julian's coup, David was taken from Ryan by a drug lord that he had had bad dealing with in the past. Since then Ryan has been travelling here and there, doing anything to survive while looking for a good place to set up a home and a life.
-----
Name: Edward Markus Aliases: Ed, Eddie
Species: Wolf Gender: Male Age: 28 Hair/Fur: Brown w/Black and White highlights Eyes: Grey Height: 3' 10" (116.8cm) Weight: 78 lbs. (35.3kg)
Ususual Traits: None. Occupation: Freedom Fighter/Engineer Gear: Electronics and mechanics kits.
General Info: Eddie was born in the city of Centerpoint. He looked up to his father, a scientist, and worked to follow in his footsteps by studying technology of all kinds, particularly the field of robotics. He graduated from Centerpoint University with a degree in ARC (Automation, Robotics, and Computer) Theory and soon landed a factory job as an automaton technician. He had become a skilled engineer by his late twenties, but his plans for the future were forever put on hold by Warlord Julian's coup. He managed to escape the city with his life, but lost his family and friends to the fat tyrant's roboticizer.
Ed is generally soft spoken and quiet with people he doesn't know, but will gradually open up as he becomes familiar with them. While he isn't very talented with wielding firearms, he excells at weapons design and is quite proficient at repair work and computer hacking. He can hold his own in hand-to-hand combat, but tends to tire quickly since he doesn't always
keep himself in the best physcial shape. He has a good head for tactics, but prefers to work as a subordinate rather than a leader.
In his spare time, he works on developing a heavily armed combat robot for use in urban warfare during missions to Centropolis, but it is far from complete.
-----
Name: Carmen Rosemary Aliases: None
Species: Koala Gender: Female Age: 23 Hair/Fur: Black/Grey Eyes: Blue Height: 3' 11" (119.3cm) Weight: 31 lbs. (14kg)
Ususual Traits: None. Occupation: Freedom Fighter/Doctor Gear: Medkit.
General Info: Carmen grew up in Centerpoint with her mother, a nurse at the local clinic. At the age of 12, Carmen was already working to follow in her mother's footsteps, attending various nursing classes at the university and quickly growing up to be a highly intelligent young woman.
It was during her thirteenth birthday that her life was taken from her. SWATbots crashed through her home, capturing her friends and killing those that tried to escape. During the confusion, Carmen's mother was struck by laser fire and collapsed on top of her, shielding the young koala from view. Her mother had died protecting her. Afterwards, like many of the survivors of Robotnik's takover, Carmen fled into the Great Forest in hope of escape and in search of a new home.
Now, ten years later, she has become part of a small group of Freedom Fighters in Centerpoint Village. As the local doctor, she has become well liked and a very valuable member of the community. She deeply cares for those around her, and thanks to her medical skills she gets the chance to protect them every time a mission takes them into enemy territory. As she is deeply opposed to commiting violent acts and the use of weapons, she only carries her make-shift medical kit with her during these missions.
Although Carmen is surrounded by those she considers family, her heart has been yearning for love ever since the loss of her mother. She has grown close to the leader of the village, a female cat named Tamara. Her feelings on this matter have become confused, however, as she also finds herself attracted to fellow Freedom Fighter Ed.
In many ways, she is still a lost little girl.

Now, on to stuff that I need from y'all as concerns your characters . . . there won't be much right at the moment, but my whiney list of gotta-have's will probably grow as I get deeper and deeper into writing the fic. Promptness in answering my requests and questions is much appreciated. So, here's what I need so far: Kaotix: Kaige's age and full length from nosetip to tailtip. Also, character bios for Patches and Barren. Wildfire: Max's height. Also, does he actually wear any kind of armor? Chief: Ryan's height and weight. And possibly a more detailed background, if you don't mind? I believe that's it for now. Thanks in advance!

Kaige:
Age: 24 Length: nose to tail tip 10 feet.
I'll get you Tamara's bio later. Barren was made by John. You'll have to get his bio from him.

Many thanks, Sir K. And in accordance with your correction of my misconception: John: I need Barren's bio.

Ya know, to be honest, I think I never got around to Max's height. I would say he's no taller than Sonic, but since I have no exact measurement for him either, I would say wing it. I was thinking up numbers as I typed this up, but none of them made much sense.
FMI: The Lt. Series is set in year ten of the Robotnik Wars correct? If so then your age is correct. If not, adjust accordingly.
In conclusion, I can't wait to get a copy of this fic. It would be a pleasure to see someone else's take on my character. I haven't been writing a lot lately, I need to quit being so wasteful with my time and get some writing done. I'm sure people are waiting, out there, somewhere, anyone??? *crickets* Ah what the hell, i'll write it up anyway...

Thankya, Wildfire . . . Max is now 3' 7" (1m). And, yah, year ten is where we're at . . . just after the episode "Cry of the Wolf".
Hmm . . . I think I'm going to change all the metric heights to cm instead of m so they'll be a bit more accurate. One of these days, anyway.
Anything else while I'm here? Ah, yes . . . what does Carmen wear, Sir Roberts?

Ah yeah, clothes. That reminds me, no armor Jimmy boy. Max wears only a denim vest his father gave him, tennis shoes, and the old baldric that holds his sword. He's a very good fighter, so body armor is almost completely unecessary. The sword is something like Samuari Jack's in that it can cleave through metal. It's his perferred method of dispatching his foes, but when manuvering room is limited, he resorts to firearms like his pistol. Any other little nuances you need to know about?

Name: Tamara deClaws Aliases: Patches, Control (During Missions Only) Age: 22 Gender: Female Species: Calico Cat Fur Color: Mixture of White, Black, Brown, and Tan Eye Color: Green Height: 4 Feet Weight: 35 Pounds
Unusual Traits: Don't let the good looks fool you. This pretty kitty has sharp claws and sharp brains to match. Occupation: Leader of Centerpoint Freedom Fighters, Strategist Gear: Communication equipment General Info: Tamara is the daughter of the deceased former mayor of Centerpoint City. Her parents died when Robotniks beseiged the city after Mobotropolis fell. She and a few others escaped to the great Forest and set up a mobile village to keep safe from Robotnik's machines. She was a bright young girl and was schooled by the best teachers in the city. Her talents in strategy and diplomacy continued to grow as she planned raids against the city and dealt with other Freedom Fighter groups. The other Centropolis Freedom Fighters and villagers trust "Patches," as they affectionately call her due to her multi-colored coat of fur, with their well-being. She doesn't participate in the raids themselves very often but she does keep an ear open on the communications equipment for any trouble. She is one of the few people who can calm Kaige down when he is enraged. Her closest friends are Kaige, Ed, and particuarly Carmen.
I hope that will do for Tamara, Jim. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thankya very much, Sir K . . . and many thanks to Sir Chief as well for providing me with height and weight for his character. ;D Speaking of heights, I've altered all the metric versions to centimenters except for Kaige (who's size was far too close to exact meter measurement to bother) . . . haHA! Obsessive!Okay, here's one for all of y'all . . . I need to know how all of you want to be listed in the copyright notices. Some are easy to figure (for example, I'm pretty certain that Carmen won't be copyright under any name other than John Bloody Roberts ), but I know that some folks like to use their screen names for such things. Anyway.

Added on history of Ryan
General Info: Orphaned at the age of three when his parents were murdered during a robbery, Ryan was adopted by a weapons store owner by the name of David Hit. Sometime after Warlord Julian's coup, David was taken from Ryan by a drug lord that he had had bad dealing with in the past. At the age of 10; the age Ryan was at when David was taken, Ryan started traveling trying to find a place to stay. Ryan had a brief time with a family in the small hidden village of Tree Point; before moving on at the age of 13 to find more ‘excitement’. A couple of months after he left, Ryan took up the job of being mercenary. There was good pay in it, and all the excitement he could have. At the age of 14 Ryan was teamed up with Nack The Weasel. There mission was to find a Wolf by the name of Tory Hilo, and bring him back to their employer Gregory Inniss. The mission took about 4 months to complete, and during that time the 14 year old fox became really close to the 32 year old Weasel. The two partnered up a number of times after that. However Nack left on a mission and never returned. Ryan thinking he was killed, went on a separate path. However 3 years later the two cross paths, only to rejoin again during the famous LT. Series mission.

Name: Barren Species: Fox Age: 10 Hair/Fur: Black/red Eyes: Silver Height: 2"5 Weight: Buggered if I know Jimmy, you’re better with numbers than me. Unusual traits: He has a tendency to believe that he can preform anything that his hero Kaige can. Or though the difference between a full grown Dragon compared to a Fox child is somehow lost to little Barren. Occupation: Freedom Fighter Gear: No weapons of any kind. He was once found with a makeshift set of wings trying to take flight by leaping out of a tree. Needless to say, there was a flight path, and it went straight down. Again, the differences between a large Dragon and a small fox is somehow lost on poor Barren. General info: At the time of the coup, he was no more than 1 years of age and he was found at the edge of the forest crying in the arms of a female Mobian. The female was dead, laser burns had riddled her body. It was Carmen Rosemary who had found him and it was Carmen who took him under her protection and fled deep into the forest. There was no name that was visible on him, or any indication on who his parents were. It was assumed that the female that was holding him when he was found was indeed his mother. As for his name, it was something Carmen had decided to call him the moment she found him. He grew up under the love and watchful eyes of three Mobians. Tamara, Kaige and most of all, Carmen. He remembers nothing of his past, or his real family. His mother and his father are lost too his mind’s eye. He is even unsure on how he came to be with the band of freedom fighters he now lives with. The memory of him being found in the arms of the dead mobian eludes him even to this day. If curiosity indeed did kill the cat, then idolization has very much doomed the fox. The adoration young Barren holds for Kaige is both his strong points and his weak points. In his mind, “If Big Red can, then I can too.” And it is that determination and devotion that drives him who he is. Too may times he has spent laying back in his bed healing from an injury that he had caused himself by proving time and time again just how well he can follow in Kaige’s footsteps. Or though he is very careless he is also a good hearted individual. Polite and always cheerful. He has yet to go on any missions into enemy territory, and if Carmen has her way, he never will. I hope this is enough for you Jimmy.

"Kaotix/Bryan West" will be fine for the copyright for Kaige and Tamara, Jim. ;D

Weight: Buggered if I know Jimmy, you’re better with numbers than me. Um . . . sure . . . Nah, really, I'm just used to working out weights for really short folks due to working closely with the weight lists for halflings in Dungeons & Dragons. Odds are I'm worse with numbers than you otherwise. Anyway, yet another round of thanks to you, Sirs Chief, Roberts, and Kaotix.
