Posted an updated list of undone bios with a brief explaination. Everyone is more than welcome to help.

Alright then, don't see why I shouldn't write something for the ones I can... Which are basically the two FE9 ones, going by the top list. ^^''

Volke - FE9
Silent. Deadly. Lethal. Just what you'd expect from an assassin. Volke's every bit as dangerous as his title (and ridiculous hiring fee) implies, with strength to match most physical fighters, speed worthy of his role as a thief and the ability to kill any opponent in one hit. Admittedly, he's only capable of using knives, but does weapon choice matter when a quick, painless death is guaranteed? Back in the fight against Daein, Volke's main role would be to open treasure chests and doors for a small fee, but he would never shy away from a fight, and now he's come here to prove himself as a fighter in the Duelling League.

And prove himself, he shall! While he's not had much luck so far in the DL, Volke still has the durability to hold his ground while dealing quick, strong attacks to any foe who should choose to face him. Mix in the ability to bring Lethality into a drawn-out battle for an instant-win, and Volke is one foe who no battler wants to see themself facing next.

Naesala - FE9

The King of Kilvas has never been the most loyal of people - he betrayed his childhood friend, Reyson, selling him to the greedy Duke Tanas, and has turned his beak against many a Laguz in order to make some money from the filthy humans of Daein, all in the name of making Kilvas a great nation to be respected and feared. However, regardless of his personal qualities, he remains a king, and he has the skills to back it up.

Naesala boasts a particularly wide range of skills for a Fire Emblem character, with brilliant strength and the magical Vortex to hit foes from afar, as well as being able to make use of the Vantage ability, preventing enemies from starting the fight with the upper-hand. However, his real strength lies not in his strength or skills, but in his speed - it'll take a damn good opponent to get more attacks in than him, and an even better one to hit with the majority of them.

Hope those are OK. ^_^

Those look fine to me, I'll add Volke now, and add Naesala whenever he gets added to the site. (Note to Snow/staffers, drop him in if Hal puts the data on site after I leave)

Added Bios for Adell and Tink in CT's bio topic, which I have continued to hi-jack.

Someone should them over for grammar/spelling errors and especially for missing words, my favorite typing mistake.

EDIT: Did some editing to the Adell profile.

Also, wrote profiles for the entire cast of Disgaea 2.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #28 on:** March 04, 2009, 06:17:24 AM »

And... did Natalia for kicks.

Note that I can't access the profile uploader, so it'd be great if someone who can would post these! (Please check them for missing words first!)

...Does Ike still need a new bio? If so, I'm happy to do that one as well.

superaielman · « **Reply #30 on:** March 04, 2009, 06:41:38 PM »

Yeah, Ike could use one.

Going through and updating bios for games you know well and feel comfortable writing for would be great. It's something that often gets overlooked here.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #31 on:** March 04, 2009, 07:27:43 PM »

Ike - FE9
Main character and Lord from Path of Radiance, Ike's not had the best run of events, having seen his father die right in front of his eyes at the hands of the enemy. From here, however, he is given command of the Greil Mercenaries and leads them through trials and troubles to help reclaim their fallen homeland of Crimea in the name of its rightful ruler, Princess Elincia.

Ike is renowned for being very simple as a character. He fights for his friends and he holds no prejudice based around trivial things like race. However, that simplicity doesn't mean that he's easy to fight against - with good strength & speed to support his above-average defences, Ike can prove a challenge for many a dueller. Add into that his astonishing Aether ability, which provides added strength along with healing in one attack, and it's clear that the Greil Mercenaries leader is going to live up to his father's name.

Don't know about editing the others that need it, to be honest. I looked through a few games that I know and only found one that needed editing, and that was only because it mentioned them being in the wrong league. The majority of those only need a line or two to be taken out/changed... Although, I can check through the lists to see who those are, if that helps...?

superaielman · « **Reply #32 on:** March 04, 2009, 09:26:03 PM »

Post any edits you want to make or things to add to writeups. History (Titles, upgrades, downgrades) can all be mentioned, along with rewriting them if you have a better approach. A lot of bios are pretty basic due to people writing a lot at once.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #33 on:** March 04, 2009, 10:12:13 PM »

Huh, I didn't realize that Tink and Adell already had bios. I thought the "yes" next to their names meant that they were in this season or something... >.>;; Should have checked.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #34 on:** March 04, 2009, 10:38:02 PM »

Alright, well, I'll probably look at updating some in the near-future, then.
In the meantime, the one I found earlier was FuSoYa...
Just the final sentence, where it says:
"Nevertheless, the Lunarian intends on proving that he was robbed in the Season 17 downgrade pools and win his way back into Middle."
Seeing as he's now back in Middle, might be worth changing it to something like...
"However, despite his flaws, he's shown that he's still capable of fighting well enough, and has since succeeded in reclaiming his place in Middle."

superaielman · « **Reply #35 on:** March 05, 2009, 01:31:50 PM »

*Nods* Yeah, stuff like that is what I'm talking about. Got it edited.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #36 on:** March 07, 2009, 04:21:04 AM »

A few more edits to be made, methinks. (Mostly spelling/grammar.)

Angelo; DQ8:
"There no doubt about it, Angelo is amoung the best duellers in the league" to
"There's no doubt about it, Angelo is among the best duellers in the league"

Dhoulmagus; DQ8:
"it's about time for him to step on down off that pedastool." to
"it's about time for him to step on down off that pedestal."

Menardi; GS:
Remove the last line ("Whether or not she recovers from this disgrace shall be seen...") and add...
"However, she'll stop at nothing to restore her honour, and has already begun her slow climb back up to Godlike."

Chaos; FF1:
"flesh him out, and make him dangerous, even in Godlike." to
"flesh him out and make him dangerous, even in Godlike." (Yes, I know it's petty.

That's why I mentioned that it's mostly spelling and grammar. ^^'')

Kraken; FF1:
"Argubly the least respected of the Final Fantasy fiends" to
"Arguably the least respected of the Final Fantasy fiends"

I'll get to checking some more soon.

Those were added by Snow. I'm going to go over and update the Grandia 2 bios right now.

She now joins her sister in the ranks of Godlike, bringing honor to Asgard.

From Hrist's profile. She's presently back in Heavy.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #39 on:** April 02, 2009, 10:05:38 PM »

Fixed.

Since I am bored and reading old matches again (and VP Mafia? Man), I noted that Lezard Valeth's profile probably hasn't been touched since his glorious downfall to Light.

http://www.rpgdl.com/character.php?name=VPs_Lezard&

He changed to Heavy again (how the hell did he fall from Godlike anyway?), so I think some work on his profile is in order. Probably some VP2 form hype.

VP1 form was a horrible, horrible Light that got reranked from Godlike in season 4. Then, VP2 came and trainwreck reranking ensues.

Can someone whip up a list of who needs bios for this season?

hinode · « **Reply #43 on:** April 25, 2009, 10:43:30 PM »

Marino
Isolde

Nicole
Pamela

I didn't check to see if any of the existing bios were out of date.

PKNintendo · « **Reply #44 on:** May 10, 2009, 04:56:48 PM »

I've updated Zidane's Bio.

Is it acceptable?

alanna82 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 16, 2009, 11:07:58 PM »

Asch's bio refers to him being in a different division than Luke. But Luke and Asch are both lights.

superaielman · « **Reply #46 on:** July 06, 2009, 03:47:41 PM »

Does anyone want to do bios for the new casts?

superaielman · « **Reply #47 on:** July 18, 2009, 04:01:03 PM »

Souji/Chie/Teddie done.

superaielman · « **Reply #48 on:** September 04, 2009, 01:35:57 AM »

[<09/03/2009>[20:22:33] <SeiPlayingWA5> When's the last time the bios had been updated? <--

Whenever someone goes through and checks. If you want to update bios and create new ones, please do by all means!

Sei · « **Reply #49 on:** September 13, 2009, 03:37:05 PM »

All WA5 bios are done.
