Don't know if this board is capable of sub-forums, but here's the idea (if it's not capable of subforums, how about a forum just titled "TNG Bios?" or something like that?):
In either the Story forum, or in the regular TN forum, there would be a stickied folder labeled "Character Bio's" or Character Biography's" or something like that. When you open that folder, it opens up to a list of threads, each thread would be titled with a character's name. The reason why they'd each be able to submit their own thread is so they don't get lost in the long shuffle of people adding their bio's and other people commenting on them, saving the readers from having to sift through all that to find a particular bio.
So, you'd have, for example:
+Nether Legends
that would open up into
+stickied Bio forum
+submitted story
+submitted story, etc.
The stickied bio forum would open up to
+Bio forum..and have the suggest form to fill out on their particular characters, followed by threads in that subforum each titled with characters, example
+Kurohane
+Zusteakai
+Mortica
etc. People could put a link with their siggy pointing people back to that thread so if we wanted to look them up.
Replies to a particular thread could be like, say there's a thread that is titled "Lovely", I go to it and I reply IN-CHARACTER as Danlily such as:
"Oh that Lovely, pitty she's a paladin. She really should have been on our side, ya know" Danlily snaps her gum and checks her nails. "She was a real hoot and so much fun. I wish she'd come back and play with Clys and I." Danlily pouts dramtically.
Out of character responses would be deleted. We don't want ooc responses to incite flaming or stuff. People can tell each other how they feel about their characters privately in PM's. But publicly, when people's characters can give feedback on how other people's characaters are reflecting in their lives, well, it's wildly popular on another board in another game. And it gives inspiration for people to get their stories intertwined with other people's stories.
Just a suggestion, but one I think would be a lot of fun whether as a sub-forum or a forum of it's own, because I, for one, would love to see bio's on people's characters, what angle they are coming at, how they see their characters, their quirks and habits and such.
Example of a bio form they could copy and paste into their own personal threads and fill out (I'm disabling the html/BBCode for this particular post so they can see the code of what they'd be pasting):
