I am looking for descriptions of the various ThunderCats characters, to use in a free role-playing game adaptation of the franchise. Ideally, these would summarize each character in a paragraph or two -- not a life history, nor anything as wordy as describing achievements or relationships, just a summary to provide those who are unfamiliar with the franchise an understanding of who the character is supposed to be. (The closest analogy, I think, would be the upper paragraph found on G.I. Joe file cards.)
I have considered using wiki and fan-site summaries, but they tend to require heavy editing to blend disparate writing styles. Plus, I would rather quote a single source, rather than have to attribute each separately. In that vein, I'm also open to having a skilled writer try their hand at it, for credit.
In addition to the basic description, I am also seeking the best quotation that encapsulates a character's personality. This can be a something they said, or what was said about them by others, in the show.
The current incompatibility between the board's JavaScript and HTTPS implementations makes it impossible for me to write an example in board code, so instead I will direct you to an external example from my Conan adaptation... https://swordsofreh.proboards.com/post/43245
Additionally, I am pursing similar projects for a number of 1980s toy and cartoon franchises, from "Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines" to "Masters of the Universe". I typically post snippets to my Gab page, but I can pursue them too, here if there's interest. I would be glad for any comments, suggestions, or participation from board members, and especially referrals to specific enthusiasts whose expertise I might tap.
Lastly (if I haven't edited this post enough already), I am interested in creating real architectural or mechanical designs for some of our favorite '80s places and vehicles. This is much more involved than mere RPG write-ups, so I will need to develop some contacts regarding this topic as well.
