May need to rethink the classification scheme. I just kind of threw characters where they seemed to fit best... but there are little things like:
1. Is Dr. Schlock a villain or maybe an anti-hero now that he's in charge of Hereti Corp?
2. Does Dr. Schlock count as a major or minor character?
3. Do we need to split off the boss-types from the underlings? 4. Should minor good-guy characters be subdivided based on their context (e.g. Dimension of Lame)?

Maybe we need a catagory for the... hrm... ambiguously aligned?
1. I'd call him villain, if not ambiguous.
2. He's probably a major at this point, by virtue of being around for so long.
3. I think so, to have a counter-point catagory to the major protagonists.
4. Not in this page, I think. Perhaps have a characters' section in each storyline, and/or universe page. Micahz 19:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


Isn't this more a category type thing than an entry one? Ville V. Kokko 07:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


I did make a "Morally Ambiguous Characters" section; he'd fit there.--Theantited 18:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


I don't like the current classification system on this page at all. It's so problematic it simply gives the impression there should be none. (And how the heck is "Nash" "morally ambiguous"? He's a hired killer and all his actions ever shown were in line with that.)

I still say we should just use a category for this. Ville V. Kokko 10:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


I agree that talking "heroes" and "anti-heroes" is no good. How about major characters (Torg, Angela), everyone else (Lucy, Nash), and group affiliations? -Agent 05:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


I agree with Ville that this should be done with categories, not an article. AlternateTorg 18:15, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

My suggestion is that we split the page into two parts: Recurring characters and storyline-specific characters.

Recurring characters are all the characters that turn up again and again. The house-mates should have their own category (Torg, Riff, Zoe, Gwynn, Bun-bun, Aylee and Kiki) and the other major characters another. I'm thinking Sam, Oasis, Sasha and Dr. Schlock.

All storyline-specific characters should go to the bottom of the page. People like Kizke, Santa Claus, Crushestro, His Masterness, Kusari and Horribus are minor characters in the sense that they only show up when the comic operates in their kind of storyline.

Maybe we should drop the character tables altogether from the different storylines, merge them with storyline/dimensional articles and just have links to that on the front page. But not sure about this, if the top of the article is dedicated the characters that matter, endless lists of names at the bottom won't annoy as much.
