“Why make character profiles?”
No one’s asked about this, but I figure I’ll explain my reasoning ahead of time just in case.
There are a lot of changes from canon in this project. I think that’s already obvious, but from my own experience I know I can often confuse aspects of a character that I view or use in multiple things. (Seriously, the times I confuse full names between the same character in different RPs? More often than you’d think.) So I wanted to make a quick and easy way to access information on those changes.
A few things this information is meant to help keep clear are:
Some of these changes affect previous seasons. Relationships between characters and the status of someone’s bey are two such changes I can think of from the top of my head. While these things will be talked about in episodes, I also think it’s a good idea to keep it collected in one place to refer back to so you don’t have to skim through episodes looking for something.
More clearly speaking, let’s say that a bey someone was known to have in season 1 will be changed to something entirely new. The episodes will address this directly, but the changes will also be noted in the profiles.
There will be a handful of OCs. They won’t be playing giant roles, but they’ll be there. Since they won’t have show canon background to refer to like say, Gingka or Kenta, I figure an easy way to make sure people can remember what’s been learned about these characters is to make these profiles.
Related to the previous point, some canon characters that weren’t originally featured in Metal Fury will be shown in this project. While some of them won’t get enough “screentime” that we know what’s going on with them, the profiles are a way to peek into their lives away from the story and see what they’ve been up to. In this case it’s more just a little bonus for those characters that are out of the spotlight but are someone’s favorites nonetheless.
This is a rewrite. Plenty of things are going to differ from the canon material. To keep things straight, both from your perspectives and mine, these profiles will act as something like mini wiki pages for each character. They’ll be added and/or updated after each batch of episodes released to stay up-to-date and reflect these changes in the story. While they won’t be super detailed, I hope to make them descriptive enough that important changes won’t be forgotten.
With that covered, let’s talk about how they’ll be posted!
Unlike the episodes, I don’t plan on releasing profiles as individual posts. With so many profiles being released with each episode batch, and how many will be updated frequently, it feels like a hassle I would much rather avoid.
Instead, the profiles for each batch will be collected on an online doc and linked to after the full batch of episodes is released. A new link will be provided with each batch, but old links will remain available.
The general set-up of a profile is pretty basic. It has bullet points to cover a character’s alliances, beyblade, special moves, and then some general info to describe them.
The profiles will be collected on Coda.io, which is sort of like Google Docs/Sheets put together. The reason for this is that Coda gives you the option to do this:
And not only is that super handy for putting multiple profiles on one page, I just think it’s really neat.
(You do not need an account to view docs on Coda, though as a fair warning, you won’t be able to access dark mode without one.)
I think that’s all the important things, and if it’s not, I’ll add whatever I potentially forgot later.
tl;dr this is the Better Fury wiki, have a nice day
