I went ahead and added a [[MSY_Archives:Copyrights|licensing page]]. CC-BY-SA was indeed used, but I also included a maximally permissive license for Hieronym to reuse stuff posted here (just in case someone makes an error and includes a new idea that he then ends up using). Sound good? [[User:Archivist|Archivist]] ([[User talk:Archivist|talk]]) 14:44, 13 April 2013 (PDT)

== Kanji + Parameters ==

Yeah, the kanji was misleading. It was something akin to a quick test...which I promptly forgot to delete, so thanks for catching that.

But I'd prefer it if the empty parameters aren't deleted - remembering my own start on wikis was based on copy-pasting templates from other pages, I'd feel inclined to say, leave them in case newcomers don't yet know how to get to a template page. -[[User:AKAAkira|Akira]] ([[User talk:AKAAkira|talk]]) 17:38, 14 April 2013 (PDT)
: ah, fair enough. and it's a wiki, fact-check is everyone's responsibility ;) [[User:En|En]] ([[User talk:En|talk]]) 19:46, 14 April 2013 (PDT)

Tomoe Mami

2013-04-14T23:35:14Z

En: slightly more emphasis on the taccomp being v2 (this is a bit significant) by pushing words around

'''Tomoe Mami''' (巴マミ ''Tomoe Mami'') is one of the [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Mami_Tomoe original protagonists from Puella Magi Madoka Magica]. In [[To the Stars]], her main role is being the primary mentor of [[Shizuki Ryouko]].

==Story==
Mami is first introduced while searching for potential magical girls in Mitakihara City. She rescues Ryouko from a [[demon]] attack, and is the one to push her into a contract. Mami also provides commentary while watching the [[Akemi movie]].

Mami contributed greatly to planning a (failed) [[MagOps]] attack against a [[Wormhole Generator]]. She, along with [[Chitose Yuma]] and [[Sakura Kyouko]], are also the ones investigating mysterious administrative problems (the grief cube shortages and the disappearing [[Puella Magi]]) as well as the enigma surrounding Ryouko (the attempt on Ryouko's life, Ryouko's friend [[Simona del Mago]], the suspicious [[Joanne Valentin]], and the surprise attack on the ''HSS Pierre-Simon Laplace'').

==Background==
===Before Reset===
Her parents died in a car crash when she was only a child, Mami herself only surviving via a wish to [[Kyubey]]. As such, she was forced to learn to fend for herself. She survived solo witch hunts for over a year, taught herself how to form muskets, and mentored Kyouko, [[Akemi Homura]], and [[Miki Sayaka]] before the point at which Homura gains the memories of erased timelines.

===Ten Year Gap===
Before the formation of the MSY, Mami's money was the primary funding that the Four had, and meetings amongst the Four or with other groups were based at her apartment(s), with her serving refreshments.

She nursed an uncharacteristically heavy grudge with [[Mikuni Oriko]], who had gone out of her way to harass her, her territory, and her home. When Oriko died, Mami's only thought was, "I never thought I'd see the day she would go down... I never got to get my revenge."

===MSY===
One of her aliases during this time was "Tomatsu Mai". It is known that she rotated through many roles, including the title of Chief Diplomat.

Mami was the first Director of the [[Soul Guard]], and served until a mission to eliminate [[Grief Cube Thief|an as of yet unnamed girl]] finished eating away at her guilt.

===After Reveal===
After the [[Battle of Episilon Eridani]], Mami became a Field Marshal and serves on the [[General Staff]]. Her biggest accomplishment to date is the [[Saharan Raid]], where she covered Field Marshal [[Erwynmark]]'s retreat (following a successful assault).

Her flagship is the battlecruiser ''HSS Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov''.

==Character==
Mami works hard to project an image of matronly responsibility and has always been the "respectable older sister" figure, as well as the diplomat, of the Mitakihara Four. During the Cold War with [[SMC]], Mami was the only one of the elder Leadership members to take on a conciliatory stance amongst a sea of poker faces.

Mami is an excellent cook, and still prefers to use fresh produce instead of [[synthesized]] ones.

==[[TacComp]]==
Mami is equipped with a v2 TacComp named Machina, which acts as her close adviser, secretary, and personal processing core. Mami suspects Machina might be fond of Field Marshal Erwynmark, which has "some possibly disturbing implications".

==Titles==
===Current===
*Field Marshal, [[Army]]
*Member, General Staff
*Special Sector Commander, [[Euphratic Sector]]
*[[MSY]] Military Liaison
*MSY Rules Committee Representative, [[Mitakihara]] Special District
*Second Executive, MSY Leadership Committee
*MSY Founder.

===Past===
*Chief Diplomat, MSY

==Distinctions==
*'''Directorate Citation''', for the Battle of Episilon Eridani (the medal is earned "for contributing to an exceptional degree to the wellbeing of Humanity")
*'''Defender's Star, First Class''', for the Saharan Raid (''exact medal requirements unknown'')

==Naming Order==
I used Japanese name order because that's what it was on Hieronym's posts, but it seems another user prefers Western order. I don't really care which we use, provided that we're consistent about it. [[User:Archivist|Archivist]] ([[User talk:Archivist|talk]]) 18:36, 13 April 2013 (PDT)
: I'd say prefer the usual japanese order, since it best reflects the source material. (also inverting names Just Bugs Me because it's not like you're translating the name, so aufgthsdf but that's not. important.) [[User:En|En]] ([[User talk:En|talk]]) 07:28, 14 April 2013 (PDT)

:: I thought Western audiences would prefer Western naming convention (e.g. Puella Magi wiki), but otherwise my stance is the same as Archivist's. I wouldn't mind Eastern, we can go with that. -[[User:AKAAkira|Akira]] ([[User talk:AKAAkira|talk]]) 12:22, 14 April 2013 (PDT)
::: well, my line of thinking is, I really doubt makes all that much of a difference either way, especially if we're putting up redirects anyway, and hieronym's text is english in the first place, so if a person is unfamiliar with name ordering conventions, it tends to make more sense to type it in the way it's written in the text than to invert it without a reason. a person who is familiar with the name order ... probably won't have many problems with it anyway (it's a name, after all—of course, my view on names is, it's not you'd generally mangle the word order in a title if you transliterated it, so why would you mangle the word order in a name). this is how I justify preference in utility, anyway.

Kuroi Nana

2013-04-14T23:20:05Z

En: there aren't any kanji given, so it doesn't seem appropriate to put kana in the box (that would be mislabelling) which we're just guessing (that would be a bit dishonest—it could, if improbably, be katakana, it's not like we have strong evidence)

{{Characterbox
|gender=f
|kanji=Unknown
|age=127
|occupation=[[Magical Girl]], Active Service<br />(Rank: Colonel)
|special=Older sister of [[Kuroi Nakase]]<br />Maternal aunt to [[Shizuki Ryouko]]
|weapon=Composite bow
|mentor=[[Akemi Homura]] (primary)
}}
[[Kuroi Abe]]’s elder daughter, who contracted to reverse her sister’s contract, after her sister lost her body trying to save her. The [[MSY]] MHD’s refusal to let her tell the truth to [[Ryouko's Grandmother|her mother]] bred an atmosphere of distrust which led to her moving far away. Eventually, she obtained an Internal Security job as a MSY inspector of unsupported colonies, which she used as an excuse to cut ties with her family, a decision she regretted later, after obtaining more maturity. Afterward, she reestablished ties with her father and sister, but not with her mother, who continued to think her gone. Her attempts to reestablish contact after the advent of the [[Contact War]] would help to precipitate her mother’s falling out with the family and enlistment in the military. She was originally mentored by Akemi Homura, which likely explains why she was assigned to head the division’s twenty year search for the MSY’s missing First Executive.

Despite everything, appears to be on good terms with her younger sister and father. Her MG costume is similar to Ryouko's, and she wields a composite bow, with a six-pointed star at the base of her throat. Her costume is, however, purple.

say, could we work out licensing and copyright issues ''before'' much content gets added, to preempt that line of ... problems? current and projected extensive use of hieronymcontent mean that, tbh, is pretty much whatever it wants to decide, but.
