(( While I think this is a good idea, don't go expecting people to have read it. It's tough enough getting people to read notes in the character bio in-game, expecting them to have read what you post here will result in arguments. ))

Wow this meshes well with the Civilian ID thread i just put up. You must of been writing yours at the same time. As i am taking more of an interest in roleplaying i already changed some of my characters in game bios to reflect what would be publically known.
First Appearances: Really obvious stuff like accents or demeanor.
Media Profile:Essentionally public knowledge, well known group association. Special deeds.
Freedom Corps Files: Extra little things that are not necessarily apparent that Freedom Corps would know and others might access easily. Like enhanced perception, or resitances. powers not necessarily represented in the game ie "Telepaths Confectinary Pocket" and things like that.
I think the thread is a great idea, and i feel that the roleplaying community will read stuff like this. Expect info from me soon!
((Regardless, I'll start this off with a newspaper article on Lady Patriot. It's not expected to be known, but it would be nice.))

Patriot on the Run!
--------------------------
By Ian McKenzie
Last night, at approximately 11:15, the much-wanted ex-heroine Lady Patriot was finally found by three Longbow squads. Longbow had earlier received an anonymous tip as to her whereabouts, and the squad was dispatched. She was found taking the train to Stell Canyon, where she was intercepted and was asked to come peacefully.
Witnesses say Lady Patriot attacked the squad, knocking them all unconcious and breaking most of thier bones. Luckily, nobody was fatally hurt, and all agents are expected to recover fully. The ex-heroine, however, immediately left the scene, and her current whereabouts are unknown.
If you have any information regarding the capture or location of Lady Patriot, please contact us at the address found below.

Sometimes, even heroes need saving.
"For truth, justice and apple pies!"

((This thread is something I've been considering for a while now. Following a conversation the other day, I've finally decided to implement it and see if everyone else thinks it'll be useful.
Essentially, this is where you can post anything about your character that is public knowledge. Perhaps it's a news report, or a widespread rumour, but it's known by most people in the business. The idea is that anyone can read what is posted here and freely refer to it In Character, as it's believable that they would have learned of it- "I read in the papers the other day that..." or "A guy I know knows another guy who said..." sort of things.
This way, people can read this thread and catch up with the major happenings that haven't directly affected their toons. It could help establish RP relationships ("Aren't you the one who..."). Also note that just because something is public knowledge, doesn't mean it has to be completely true...
So, if it's posted here and it's not in brackets, your characters know it, even if they don't necessarily believe it. I'll add some stuff about Nightschild later on, when I've more time.))
