* Yes, I know these arent quite accurate.
Hmmmmm... for a setting where the personally-waved family car is supposed to be the primary means of getting around, we certainly dont have very many personally-waved family cars... Discounting the ones that are listed as being shuttles for larger craft, weve got the Bullet Boy Express, the Hyperspace Vespa (not yet seen on-screen), the Kestrel Mk3 (in storage, awaiting manufacture of replacement parts), and the Mission of Mercy. And that list stretches the definition of car more than a bit. Ah, well... major characters are unusual people by definition, right?
In order to provide a bit of structure to the Writerss Guide (yes, I decided to go ahead with it; look for the announcement sometime next month), heres the entry format Im using for the Ship Registry list.

Fun with figures (well, I find it fun ):
The big winner in populating the Character Thread is Acyl, with thirteen characters (including the Islands dog, Titan). Herr Bad Moon and I have posted six characters each, and Foxboy has four. Catty Nebulart, Griever, and Wiregeek have described two characters each. BlackAeronaut, Bluemage, Drakensis, Duane E. Peters, Ebony, ECSNorway, KJ, M. Fnord, Murmur the Fallen, Sirrocco, Valles, and Vangeek have each posted one character.
Two of the three biggest contributors to the Character Thread also contributed Space Ports or Space Docks to the Ship Registry - Acyl (The Island) and me (Stellvia). The biggest Space Dock, Grovers Corners, has 29 characters identified by name but zero posted to the Character Thread (and I understand why).
There are five open characters on the list. Theyve all been talked about, but I dont recall seeing any of them actually used in a story...
Theres all of one bad guy character on the list: Gervasio Faustino de Leon. This indicates to me that were more interested in telling stories where the conflict is against nature, rather than against each other. (Also. while I wouldnt suggest making de Leon the person in overall charge of the Black Hats in the upcoming war, he is a good choice for a major Boskonian.)
And heres the entry format Im using for the Character List. No one character has all of these entires...:
Name
(Open character noted here; creators name)
Appearance: height, weight, hair colour, eye colour, build. Any distinguishing features.
