mr_pikachu
One of the four leaders of the world of Fanfic. He is a bit paranoid and immature, so he consequently lacks the respect of his peers. His computer skills, however, are virtually unmatched.
First appeared in #2: Meet the Heads, Pt. 1.

dratinihaunter13
One of the four leaders of the world of Fanfic. He is the most experienced of the four leaders and has a razor-sharp wit. He is also the only moderator to be shown giving an infraction.
First appeared in #2: Meet the Heads, Pt. 1.

mistysakura
One of the four leaders of the world of Fanfic. She is a bit more passive than her peers. When she does speak, however, you know it’s about something important.
First appeared in #3: Meet the Heads, Pt. 2.

Gavin Luper
One of the four leaders of the world of Fanfic. He could be considered the unofficial leader of the group. As a serious person, he doesn’t appreciate an excess of silliness.
First appeared in #3: Meet the Heads, Pt. 2.

Blademaster
A powerful, sword-wielding mercenary who works alone. He is hired as a guardian for Mega Horny. He claims to lead “The I Syndicate” of which he is the sole member. Left Mega Horny with Dark Sage, his former mentor, after concluding that he had no talent for traditional combat.
First appeared in #4: Aliens!

Shuppet Master
A young, extremely confident Fanficcer. He serves as an assistant of some manner under Dark Sage. Is the first to use a "forbidden technique."
First appeared in #7: Oscars? Golden Globes? Emmys? That other one we all ignore?

Normally I frown upon author's notes, even if they are given outside of fic chapters themselves. But since this sort of work is much, much different from any "traditional" fanfic, I'm making an exception. Besides, I'd like you to be able to see my thought process in coming up with... this.

Cover page: I made this shortly before posting the preview topic, after I'd already completed a decent amount of work on War of the Forums. It's mostly a collage of characters, although there's a lot of significance behind the arrangement of everything on the cover. Some things will be revealed shortly, while others may be a little unclear even once we've gotten to the critical point.

For those of you who like trivia, here's a list of all the characters (each row is left-to-right)...

Row 1: Major Alex Louis Armstrong (Full Metal Alchemist), Yomiko Readman (R. O. D.)
Row 2: Mizuho Kazami (Onegai Teacher!), Commander Amarao (FLCL), Shonen Bat (Paranoia Agent), Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach), Satoshi "Sasshi" Imamiya (Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi)
Row 3: Yami Malik (Yu-Gi-Oh!), Kikyo (Inuyasha), Hideki Motosuwa (Chobits), Chi/Elda (Chobits), Ranma Saotome (Ranma 1/2), Jaden Yuki (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)
Row 4: Shinji Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Sarutobi (Naruto), Abel Nightroad (Trinity Blood), Shinobu Maehara (Love Hina)

#1: Yeah, it's the first page. I created this one about a month ago. Honestly, I think my skills have improved fairly significantly since I made this, but I just can't bear to change this page. It was what spawned the whole project, so even if it's imperfect, it's special to me in its own way.

As you can see, it only features one character - in fact, it only features one image that was simply shifted to show where the other character was focused. The whole thing uses implication; there's nothing overt. It's not even clear exactly what happened... but you're certainly free to guess.
