Website Updates - New Persona Profile Options

[Estelle]

In the last few weeks you might have noticed a few extra options when creating or editing a persona:

Birth/Hatching Location
You can now select a birth location for your persona (or a hatching location for dragons) from a list including our known PC and NPC locations. If the location name you'd like doesn't appear on the list - for example, a named minor hold - just let us know in the forum or on Discord in the #help-me channel and we can add it!

Some locations have an opening and closing date - for example, Barrier Lake Weyr was opened in month 10 of Turn 9, while River Bluff Weyr was closed in month 12 of Turn 8. The persona form will warn you if this doesn't match your character's birth date!

This option is also searchable in the advanced search, for both humans and dragons, so by searching by age and birthplace or hatching location you can find your fellow weyrbrats or weyrling classmates.

Deceased Characters
It's now possible to mark a persona, dragon/pet, or NPC as being deceased. There's a checkbox for each in the form, and if checked you can enter the date and age of decease.

Deceased personas will not show up on the character lists for a location any more, but they should appear in searches and in your member profile - so you no longer have to set them to inactive status. They'll also be marked as "deceased" in persona profiles, and the age of the character will be fixed (so they won't continue to age after death).

We hope this helps - let us know if you have any questions or see anything that doesn't seem to be working properly!
