Talk:Characters

X791 or X784
Hey guys. Just want to know what you guys think. Should we use the X791 pictures of the characters who aged after the time skip or would you guys like to keep them as it is. Or would you like both of them to appear (maybe we can work something out xD) 21:17, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Look at the dragons of design future jobs XD 21:19, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

NOOOOOO! This is my baby! I won't allow anyone to touch it! 21:22, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

We won't change any pictures, just try to incorporate a switch template to it 21:25, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

T_T 21:27, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

why so serious sad? 21:30, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

I don't want my template ruined. xD Hahahahaha. Maybe just use a table similar to the ones used in opening pages? One for the current and one for the X791 pics. 21:32, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

what table? you mean tabs? 21:35, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Yep. 21:36, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think it'll work. 21:38, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

A switch template seems unnecessary. This isn't the characters article, it's a hub page for all characters.
 * That's why I'm asking them which pic they prefer. 21:41, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

I'll think of something then! Just don't change the template until I give up xD 21:40, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

I prefer the X791 pictures only if they are of good quality.

which some aren't 21:43, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

If they aren't then we can just wait until there is one of better quality, there's no big rush.

Hello, I am searching for a fitting immage profile of Gajeel for as he is currently (as of X791). Can someone please help me in it?--Jeraru Ferunandesu (talk) 14:58, December 19, 2014 (UTC)

Volume 32 Bonus Section
The Bonus Section of Volume 32 revealed the name of some GMG constetants, so I'm adding it. Please do not undo this edit. All names I'm adding are official source, and if you don't believe me here is all the bonus pages included on the volume so you can check: http://img277.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=489973713_0000001_122_48lo.jpg Coutinho305 15:57, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

Lullaby and Deliora
Aren't they considered characters in the series? Just like the Dragons? Facebook Agent 007 13:00, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

We should add them in this page as "Zeref's Demons"... Dream1912 (talk) 14:18, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Erza's image
Thoughts on replacing the old Erza image with one of the proposals? She's facing forward, has neutral expression and wears her new armor. If you guys agree, it could be replaced on the main page too =p 07:56, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Uhhmm... I say we delete Prop 1 and go with the Close Up one... Not really much point for keeping the first one...

Yup. The first prop will be deleted since it'd be a waste to have it in the wiki 18:53, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

But there are articles using it... 18:58,6/2/2012

Tell me Reli, since when does 3 people equal consensus? I oppose it. Erza's head looks small and weird and so does her facial expression. 19:05,6/2/2012

lol you guys are late, I'm not talking about the current. I already deleted the first prop! It was the proposed just farther away 19:53, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Lol sorry, didn't even saw the prop 1 19:59,6/2/2012

I know, I'm talking about the portal template you changed. 19:55,6/2/2012

what portal template? *shifts eyes left and right* 19:58, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

C-c-combo breaker! :D By the way, if anyone's interested in it, this was the deleted proposal. 20:10, June 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I didn't mistake his gender, that's the nickname I gave him. -_- 20:30,6/2/2012

Jude
Shouldn't you change Jude heartfilla to dead?


 * You can check on the status guide for the colors. If the color is gray then it means that the character is Deceased or Dead. As for Jude in Love and Lucky Guild, the background clearly states that it is gray. 13:37, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

Layla Heartfilia
I'm a bit confused here. The format say that the status on each category determine the last status the character was. Then for Layla, isn't it suppose to be Left for Love&Lucky but Deceased in Heartfilia Kozern??? Messithemesser (talk) 23:21, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yup. Someone changed it for some reason 22:52, November 15, 2012 (UTC)

Rob
In the Tower of Heaven, Rob still had his guild mark; meaning he was still a member. Shouldn't we change his status to "Deceased" since it was shown that he died saving Erza?

Hm yeah he was a member when he passed away, so I guess his status should be changed 11:00, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Laxus also had his guild mark when he was excommunicated :\ 20:51, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Lector and Jiemma
About this "Unknown" edit... Lector just disappeared, so in my opinion his status would be unknown. That's not ignoring her words, we just literally aren't sure what happened to him. And he isn't actually that much "active" right now...

About Jiemma, I did not mean his death, rather his status, whether he still is or isn't in the guild, but I won't push on this one. Sligneris (talk) 15:09, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

In terms of guild membership, Lector has not been confirmed to have left the guild in any capacity. He hasn't resigned or been excommunicated and while he isn't around anymore, he's still confirmed to be alive by Minerva. While we don't know what exactly happened to him and where he is, Minerva's statement that he's alive is enough to confirm him as such. As such, until he's confirmed otherwise, he is still a member and he is still alive.

Jiemma, though beaten by Sting, was shown alive after the initial blast. While Minerva did say that the guild had no need for losers, whether or not he's actually been removed from his post has not been stated. As such, without a statement, we consider him to still be a member and he's definitely still alive unless shown otherwise.

Prisoned characters
There is an subcategory to "Others" named "In Prison". However, it does not contain all characters known to be prisoned, like most of the Eisenwald or Oracion Seis guild or Jellal Fernandes for that matter. Should it be fixed? Sligneris (talk) 15:33, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Natsu
Click for a preview.

I'm for the change. 21:27, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

I dunno. It doesn't feel like the Natsu we know. He looks kinda angry. :/ 21:31, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Agree with Mega here. The current one has an odd expression which I don't really like but the proposal is angry which is not really typical Natsu. A more normalized expression would be nice.--


 * Hmm, I'd call it a 'serious' look rather than an 'angry' one. Nevertheless, I thought his expression was better and more suited for a potential profile image. Moreover, in the proposal, he is looking straight to the camera, in contrary to the odd angle in the current one. Considering these factors, I thought that the proposal, while not perfect, is better than the current one. 'Less worse' out of the two, if you put it that way. -- 22:26, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

I like it more than the current. Plus he tends to have that expression in every other Opening (lol) 22:35, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

I'm really on the borderline here, but I'm going to support this, solely because, like Misk said, the proposal is the "less worse" of the two. 09:03, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

I like the expression of his face. 14:33, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

Gray's one is grumpy too y'know. I want a change,but I feel it doesn't fit the goofy personality. Actually I feel the same with Juvia's pic, now she is a lot less serious. -- 16:24, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

The present picture isn't bad, but I prefer the new one

I like it better. Natsu looks more serious. The present one is good as well, though. 19:29, April 2, 2013(UTC)

I agree in this one he is much much more serious.  Lilac Clive 02/04/13 20:19:26

I'll support, but I think we can do better. The proposal is not "serious" it's angry, imo. But the current makes him look so annoyingly dopey that anything would be an improvement. 01:30,4/3/2013

Good enough.

The proposal. 08:16, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Er-chan
Greetings, men, women, kids of all ages... things. Natsu and Lucy got new pictures in which they both contain their new outfits. Erza, on the other hand, still has that old one with that creepy smile. In addition, in the old pic she is not looking exactly towards the camera. I propose a change!

Obviously, it has my full support. Erza is looking directly at the camera, has the same expression she is known for, and it is updated. I know Gray still has the old one, okay? >_> 17:18, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

Totally fits her character.

The setting of the proposal is at night, so Erza's color scheme is slightly darker than normal (different shade of red and skin color) but I don't mind the change 18:17, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

Creepy smile!?!?! D:< Ummy's right. Erza's colors have been a bit changed, but at the same time, the image is fine; I mean, looking forward and all... It's also too close in my opinion... so >___>

The image is supposed to detail what she looks like and does a bad job at that due to the odd color scheme. Her name is Erza SCARLET and adding a picture of her without Scarlet hair is just bad--

Eh...I was really close to being neutral, but that won't get us anywhere. :/ Even if the colors are a little off, nearly anything is an improvement from the first one. 18:36, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

Due to the colors I'm also against it, though how about cutting the head out of the following picture as an alternative? http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/File:Erza_in_CS_clothes.jpg  ... assuming that doesn't go against the image policy cutting the head out is a matter of less than a minute.

While she's not wearing armor in the picture, it does have the right colors and she looks directly at the camera. NoNickNeeded (talk) 19:06, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

Not her real hair color. 19:09, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

Considering the other images we have there, this one will look really out of place.

The second one would be perfect if not for the color change and the fact that it cuts off Erza's head. The smile in the current one is not creepy. >_> 22:13,5/9/2013

Wrong hair colour, get a pic that is set during the day-- 01:13, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

The colors don't look good than the other pics. 02:56, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

I like the shot, but the colours are off :/ Pointless voting FTW ^__^/ 04:13, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Color seems a bit odd, if adjusted than fine / 04:13, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

What Carry said xD 12:36, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

About adding the movie characters
Okay, so The characters in the movie should be in this list too. So should a new section be made like movie only characters or just should they be just added in the others section? --I always smile ｡◕‿◕｡ (talk) 17:11, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, a new section can be made. :) 17:21, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

Adding future Characters?
Should links to the future Character's pages be added here too, rather than having to click the present character and search for the "counterpart" line there?

NoNickNeeded (talk) 12:24, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, they should since we are counting them as different characters 13:16, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

Consider the FT movie characters in the Characters article?
Is it fine to consider Carbuncle and its top four members into the Characters page including Kriem, Geese, Kalard, Eclair and Momon? Because they already appeared in the FT movie.--AtlasFlame206 (talk) 08:33, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

They already have their own character pages, though currently they are only accessible from the movie's article.

Though considering that the characters from the OVAs and omakes (particularly the cross-over characters that are clearly outside the actual story line) are also listed here, I think the movie characters should also be linked here.

NoNickNeeded (talk) 08:51, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! --AtlasFlame206 (talk) 09:17, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. They have been added :) 09:20, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Any time bro! --AtlasFlame206 (talk) 09:25, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Carrot is a Girl.... -- 09:26, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, Any time sis! --AtlasFlame206 (talk) 09:28, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Text shadow
ugh >_< the text shadow looks really bad and makes it kinda unreadable,I suggest to remove the text shadow >_<.--

I've actually never liked it. But its sort of necessary cuz the letters in the colors for Former and Deceased would blend too much into the background. 04:42, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Minor questions
Just some minor questions rolled into one: --Sane Lunatic (talk) 12:53, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Siegrain is 'Removed' on the Ten Wizard Saints page, implying excommunication, but 'Former' here. Is his betrayal and obvious, though not official, departure from the organization considered 'Former' or the fact that there was obviously no formal resignation, but rather a forceful striking off of his name from the organization considered 'Excommunication'? /me has no idea about the 'Former' status under the Magical Council too.
 * 2) Jose was 'Excommunicated' rather than 'Former' in the 'Ten Wizard Saints' ... right?
 * 3) Lamy should be alive, right?
 * 4) If it doesn't contradict the manga, can anime be used as reference? Episode 40 shows Fukuro saving Vidaldus and Ikaruga, both alive.
 * 5) Layla left Love & Lucky and died while affiliated to the Heartfilia Konzern, shouldn't she be 'Former' for Love & Lucky rather than 'Deceased'? She's already shown as 'Deceased' for Heartfilia Konzern. If otherwise, shouldn't Precht and Rob be 'Deceased' under Fairy Tail?
 * 6) Same as above for Zoldeo in the Heartfilia Konzern.
 * 7) Warrod Sequen is currently affiliated to the Ten Wizard Saints where his most recent status can be shown, is it really necessary to keep him under 'Others'?
 * 8) Lullaby is not deceased, but imprisoned. So shouldn't the status be 'Alive' or 'Unknown'?
 * 9) We've got quite a few Demons now, should there be a section created for them? Something like this? If the section is approved, can Lullaby and Deliora be removed from 'Others'?

Spin-off characters
Is there any taste to add the characters who appear in any spin-off? Why, I think there IS any.--Jeraru Ferunandesu (talk) 20:27, December 13, 2014 (UTC)

Gajeel
Is it necessary to add Gajeel to the now-disbanded Raven Tail as a former (defected) member?--Jeraru Ferunandesu (talk) 17:41, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hey, why don't we just replace Gajeel's profile with an updated one?--Jeraru Ferunandesu (talk) 19:38, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * What do you mean?  19:51,7/10/2015
 * I think he refers to Gajeel's infobox image, and that he wishes an updated image. I kinda agree with him, the current image is not very good imo.  21:12, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware of there being any good replacement, though. If anything comes up in the new anime or otherwise, I'm all up for a change. I've wanted Gajeel's pic to change for a good while now anyways. 21:18, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Should we bring attention to this perhaps? To see if there's anyone who knows of a better option?  21:26, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

I... have no opinion. :D  22:15,7/10/2015
 * Lol, ok XD  22:31, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

Relationships
--Ergo Logos (talk) 16:20, January 15, 2015 (UTC)Remove the relationship sessions on the character pages. They are messy and incomplete: In some of them, we can clearly see evidence people trying to push for their romantic pairings. Since our character synopsis articles are so long anyways, people can figure out the relationships between the characters themselves. Either that, or we should invest time in updating the current relationship pages to reflect their portrayal as of the Tartarus Arc.


 * We write what we see. Do I personally think there should be relationship sections? No, not really. I think they're annoying (ironic, coming from me). But what we have written is based on what we see, so any implications that are given are ones that are given to us first from the author. We will not remove the relationship sections. If you are adamant on doing so, then open a forum about it. 16:26, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

GAZeal?
Gajeel's name is spelled as GAZeal Redfox. Should I keep it here or fix it? --ಠ◡ಠ 01:25, July 30, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, that was a mistake made by our bot.  01:30,7/30/2015

Previous Things
ok just thought id put this here cos not sure where else as it really just applies to all characters, also its really probably just me being picky but still. ok so can we add the (s) onto previous team and affiliations, its on previous partner(s) and relative(s) and a lot of characters do have multiple past affiliations and teams within them so it wouldnt be a redundant addition Hewy (: (talk) 21:46, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

X792 appearance change?
Can we update the X792 appearance change to all the characters? 23:35,9/14/2015

Zeref as Spriggan?
Why is Zeref only linked as "Spriggan" on this page? Wouldn't it make more sense to find him under the name that he's more known for (for the audience), than this obscure name that's barely ever used in the series? NoNickNeeded (talk) 08:04, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

From my understanding, it's 'cuz: I'm not saying the change shouldn't be made, just pointing out the reasons behind the current situation. --Sane Lunatic (talk) 12:51, February 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * Zeref fits only under the Alvarez Empire section right now.
 * Zeref is known as Spriggan in the Empire and we try to have the names and images be appropriate for the sections they are placed in. Doranbolt and Siegrain in MC, Racer and Angel in OS, etc.

I'm not even sure where to put him, Others section? 12:53, February 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * He's already under the Alvarez Empire Section though. Isn't Others supposed to be for people whose affiliation is unknown at the moment (or at the time of death)?... We could just make things messy by adding Zeref Dragneel in paranthesis below Spriggan? Iunno. .-. --Sane Lunatic (talk) 12:57, February 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't even know? Like, we have several characters listed fuckton of times just because they had several affiliations throughout the series, so Zeref being basically a neutral (or third..) party in Ishgar while being Spriggan in Alvarez asks for him being under both sections imo 13:15, February 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess the page developed into this 'cuz its structure revolves around affiliations for the sake of organization? I'd support having Zeref under Others too as Nick's point is perfectly valid. Flexibility FTW! \( ^_^)/
 * (._. )
 * ( ._.)
 * I don't think this requires a huge discussion, so Imma just make the change. /o/ --Sane Lunatic (talk) 13:24, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

Update
Can somebody move Blue Skull to be under Dark Guilds, add Chronos under Gods, and add the Four Heraldry Knights under the Alvarez Empire? Reinhartmax (talk) 16:21, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

Blue Skull and Chronos thing done, thanks for pointing them out. ^^ I realize that the Vanish Brothers are on the page, but I dunno about adding a team such as the FHK, so I'll leave it to the discretion of somebody with more sense than me. ._./ --Sane Lunatic (talk) 17:00, February 29, 2016 (UTC)
