Dismiss6068 in-depth character profiles from comics, games, movies
Writeups.org is an encyclopaedia of characters in genre fiction — super-hero comic books, video games, action movies, etc. It offers illustrated, researched profiles. These also include technical data for role-players. If you need a robust understanding of a character’s abilities, personality, history, etc. this is *the* place to be.

From the classic Back To The Future movies. These are old capsule notes.

A goofy, obscure, super-dated cliché who fought Batman back in 1963.
When the nights were young, when we could do no wrong.

On that one, 100% of the money goes to medical charities who need supplies against the covid-19 pandemic.
Another example of a fully-fleshed out Player Character from a video game. This time a female Barbarian Shaman from the seminal Everquest MMO.
Predictably, this also presents setting elements such as the Northmen, the Tribunal, Halas, the epic weapon quest for that class, etc..
A “how to” article about playing music files on your Windows PC in a pleasant, high-quality manner on a moderate-for-most-people ($250-ish) hardware total budget.
I wasn’t planning to publish it now since there already was a “how to” article a few weeks back. But home improvement stuff has become much more relevant since…
