My question was also about the political orientation of the book. Is it meant to be a very orthodox book that you will release for the children in classrooms (I am exagerating on purpose), or a book more meant to be neutral and willing to gather all the amarrian loyalist capsuleers ? Because it would not make much sense if my character was mentionned in the first case, or at least as someone considered as a bad example or even an heretical example. In the second case however...
Thank you, Lyn, an interesting and important question! We can leave this open for discussion and see what others might want or say. At first I had the thought to make it appear like a document intended for internal use only. Like from the Ministry of Internal Order or maybe something like a guideline form from ΛCN that somehow leaked. This would explain the judgemental language and why both conservatives and liberals are mentioned. I still think it is a good idea. What do you think? It would provide us with the means to have some distance when writing about our characters. When reading Odelya’s entry it should become pretty obvious that she is a somewhat pretentious and certainly narcissistic person. Well, she wouldn’t put it that way. She also wouldn’t refer to her “Gallentean period” publicly. A guy from the ΛCN, however, would.
@Raze & Victoria. I disagree. I don’t know you yet, but as a capsuleer you are important enough to be mentioned. If you have a story to tell, tell it. Even if the message (e.g. from a ΛCN perspecitve) is: This guy is completely unimportant.
I'll do a bio though I'm pretty much like yourself, a 'youngblood' in the grand scheme of things and not one of the old 'war horses'.
But since you named Shalee in your original post, I'll write up something.
I think if you want to get everyone's attention of those you want in the book, you should in-game mail them. I'm notoriously bad about reading forums until someone points me towards something. The same might be said for a few others, they might not have even seen this. I'll point Eran & a few others to this post too since you named him as well.
I think it's a really fun project and will be happy to be a part of it.

Thanks, Shalee, I loved to read that. Spread the news! :) I will ask some more people directly and have already sent a message through a loyalist channel. (I didn’t get a reaction [yet?]). If you know someone that should be in, let him know what’s going on! Thank you!
Best,
Odelya
