Category talk:Sixth Officio
Let's leave this here because why not does this even work
>I am not sure Risa being from there was ever mentioned It's like the second thing we learn about her character in thread.
That said, past warmasters or even specific present characters seems to be NOT a thing I or Twice put into the infodumps about Officios - in a way, the whole idea of worldbuilding is describing the place with as little specific character information as possible. Say a DM wants to use the setting, he writes the Sixth ten years later and replaces every character with his own (which is probably a very reasonable thing to do as well).
So that would make the information go on Risa's profile, or individual page of the axes (same one? We could make the three stooges into a proper Golden Desert Eagle/Justice page too and link to it from the Golden Weapons one). Or on the Officios page, like Tenth has the "yo Midori comes from here" note on it now. -Ratty
also[edit]
Officio Assassinorum does have the note under Sixth, so yeah.
...I could have SWORN Risa was the Warmaster of the 6th for a short while before Russ stepped in. Huh.
As for past warmasters and specific characters: in my case, I didn't put in any info on past warmasters because, at the time I was fleshing out the 4th (and when everything I did that decu approved of was canon), I specifically avoided saying much about past warmasters in order to keep 4th Officio history as open as possible for other writers. The lack of specific character info is because I'm lazy about putting up character stuff on the wiki. V:

Well, in my case, it would be way too many to count, so the only thing that I had to keep in mind when describing Karolina (who will literally not even ever get a profile on the wiki ever because not enough important) was that "three months is the shortest historic warmaster service, this is Risa, and that is canon".
I basically just made profiles for characters that actually matter within the setting(two, one an incubator) and avoided saying too much on the officio page too, even though the damn story is about how the place changes through the characters.
Now that the people who aren't important aren't actually canon either, that becomes much easier to work with. (It also makes your characters pass the Plinkett test by default, which is nice). It's pretty much like worldbuilding anywhere at that point, and makes it much easier for others to actually use your thing based on what they read on the Officio page, without necessarily asking you, or fearing they'll screw up horribly.
I should probably make a profile for Jarmila and Umika by now, but Martina and Toyen would kinda feel like flooding the wiki with meaningless shit? Jackdaw, Libuna and Ekpirosa will get in when they come up like next year but that's about it? And I am unsure about Jackdaw mattering, and that's considering Jackdaw contracted 15 years ago and is probably a part of the setting at that point as well. But you could remove her and nothing would change. Alas, you should write your stories so that nothing can be removed, not that there is nothing more left to add. Understanding Panna and Juuni is vital to understanding what I made 12th like, so that's why only they got the profiles.
Risa also should get a profile solely by virtue of being a character appearing in the main story. Of course, someone who actually knows anything about her beyond cuhrayzee wolfwoman ebin hollow quest reference would have to make the page and I am not sure such a person exists.
