[edit] Seperate Character Articles?

Continued from the Utawarerumono talk page. Merging some of it sounds like a good idea, but the Touka article seems like an odd, fancrufty thing, or at least the 'Tsundere' half, which really doesn't seem to work out with my mental image of Tsundere (the I hate you with a passion/touchy feely). Does anyone disagree with takign away the stand-alone articles, then? Mekryd 16:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the proposed mergers.---- () 22:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Eh, while we're at it, I'm going to split this article into actually sections, rather than having one large section titled "Characters" in an article titled "Characters".... a bit redundant, eh? =P Mekryd 00:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Ah, about the sections...just how will you do that? I mean, would the main characters include everyone in Hakuoro's team and the secondary characters be the lords of the other countries like Kūya and Niwe? And then what about Mikoto, Mutsumi, and Iceman at the end; they're important to the plot but you don't learn about them until the end. You could split by country, though some characters like Urutori and Kamyu reside in Tusukuru though they still have a home country. :/---- () 00:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Oh my...I was doing some searching and I found many more articles that person created: Aruruu, Kurou (Utawarerumono), Benawi, Nuwangi, Oboro (Utawarerumono), Yuzuha (Utawarerumono). This is going to be much harder to merge now...---- () 00:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Joy~ He got around, ne? Well, some of this stuff seems... vaguely useful. It'll keep me occupied. Heh... Got Touka, and was about to go and correct things, but you beat me to it, nice job... I think I'll actually go onto Nuwangi for the moment.Mekryd 00:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Oh, about the sectioning.... I'm not sure, now that I look at it. But there's something missing: Unless I'm blind, Kuuya doesn't have her own section... Mekryd 01:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Kūya is between Niwe and Derihourai. Good work on the merges btw.--() 02:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Heh, I guess it's convenient enough that I am nearly blind, then! Thankye! Mekryd 02:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Should be noted that the creator of the character articles has been cited for copyvios, so be careful. I couldn't find the first sentence of "Aruruu" on Google, though. --Raijinili 08:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Yep, I've been keeping that in mind. Someone should go and make sure that the stuff is right, though, since my memory for their names is a bit meh. Oh, and speaking of Aruruu... Need to put the redirect there. Already gleened what info I could from it.Mekryd 15:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Keeping a list of articles to merge here: Aruruu, Kurou (Utawarerumono), Benawi, Nuwangi, Oboro (Utawarerumono), Yuzuha (Utawarerumono), Touka (Utawarerumono), Orikakan --Mekryd (Last changed 00:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC))

The names themselves won't be fun to romanize, since they seem to be Ainu in nature. I remember a debate on some fansub forums about various spellings such as Aruruu, Aruruw, and Aluluu. Is anyone familiar with the proper romanization of the names? Daniengrey 03:32, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

In several magazine articles pertaining to the ADV licensed version of the anime, most of the names either go untouched (Aruruu, Oboro), or come with slight differences (Eluluu). It seems that ADV is favoring Repvised Hepburn romanization as they are keeping the two u's at the end of Eluluu and Aruruu.--() 04:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dori and Gura...

Alright, per recent edits to the characters section on Utawarerumono regarding Dori and Gura, I am linking to the very long debate we had on this subject which prooved them to be male in the game. Even if their gender was never confirmed in the anime, the visual novel has precedent over the anime since it came first and should be regarded in higher standing in terms of facts than the anime adaptation.--() 03:13, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Touka and Yuzuha

perhaps the order they appear in the character list should be reversed since thats the order they appear on the picture Sir LoseALot 02:40, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and went ahead and did it.--() 03:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
