Thought I should probably make this thread. If you guys have any ideas on what to add to the site, from characters to fanfics, or have some submissions or want to help out, please let me know here! The site is sites.google.com/site/threewordstoryrevolution/Thanks!

Musicians probably should not have a thread; they only appeared once in one arc and not since then. They really are not "major" compared to the engines and our original characters, so they probably shouldn't have their own section.
(it's nothing against them; its a practicality thing)

Yeah, I was planning on getting rid of them anyway.

Another thing we could add are "Character Profiles" for some of the major characters on the site. The Wiki is good for some of that, but it's also out-of-date, so it's not perfect. I've already made a character profile thread somewhere for drafting said profiles, so that will help.

Those'll be on the individual pages (Colormen, VEC, etc.).

How is this for the VEC?
......
Serving as the primary antagonists to the Colormen, the Vile Evil Confederacy is lead by the Bronze Mage, who himself was a former Colorman.
While it is a force to be reckoned with, and has some powerful members, the bulk of the VEC's membership is rather... questionable. Because there is more good than evil in the world, combined with the fact that mages are rare and hard to come by, many recruits to VEC have either ridiculous powers, or are decent but have hindrances that cause no one to take these particular members seriously.
...
I think it makes a good start, but since Toz is the VEC guy here, I will let him fill out the rest. Or start from scratch, whatever he finds to be the better option

The Colormen:
The Colormen are a group of human males who were selected to wield great power to protect Sodor from evil forces. Formed in 1095 during the reign of King Godred, the source of the Colormen's power is The Prism, a powerful artifact inhabited by the Spirit of the Prism, who acts as sort of a "watchman" for The Prism's great power. To become a Colorman, the person had to be a human male, of good morals and humble origin and nature, with a strong will to defend Sodor. When a Colorman becomes old or no longer feels he can carry on his duties, he passes on his powers and title to his son, who inherits the powers of his father, but must learn how to use them properly in order to use them to their maximum potential. Even in retirement, Colormen still possess their powers, but they take a step back in favor of their sons, only taking action in extreme situations. The title is simple, being "Man In..." the color of the lineage, i.e. "Man In Blue". Each bloodline is assigned an artifact, which acts as a conduit for the Colorman's power in battle, exponentially increasing said Colorman's effectiveness. The artifact is a weapon, such as a sword, bow or spear, or even a tool, such as a bell, wheel or spike, or any other number of items.
The Colormen are a force for good, and their powers are most effective when used for good. The Prism's morality check acts as a judge of a Colorman's actions. Colormen have free will to act as they please, but if their actions are perceived as evil, they can be punished in various ways, notably getting their artifact taken away from them. (The Prism and Morality check will be discussed in greater detail in a future post) A Colorman can however, be turned evil by outside influence, but at that point is no longer considered a Colorman and is cut off from The Prism's power forever. They will still have certain powers, but others are denied, depending on the circumstances.
In 1657, the Prism was shattered by the Colormen; in a time where people were becoming religious zealots and despising witchcraft, the Colormen were seen as "demon spawn" and some went crazy. Shattering The Prism was the solution, as it would greatly weaken the Colormen's powers to a point where they would not pose as huge a threat. The Prism however, is so powerful that even when shattered, the Colormen have their powers, but in a weakened state. Although weaker, there is no morality check when the Prism is shattered, allowing the Colormen to act freely without consequence with their *weakened powers. Many went missing, others went into hiding.
Centuries later, the war of the shards resulted in the reassembling of the Prism; purifying the corrupted lineages and ending the Colormen's "Dark Era."
Recently, the Colormen came out of the shadows, proclaiming that "Sodor's protectors have returned."
Colorman History is divided into three distinct eras:
First era: 1095-1657
Dark era: 1657-2014
New era: 2014-present
Although the Colormen is composed entirely of males, they are not sexist at all. Rather, to maintain a sort of "balance" the Colorwomen are a separate faction, also powered by the Prism. There is a Colorman for every Colorwoman, so there is a Man In Blue, and Woman In Blue. There is a Man In Red and Woman In Red, etc.
No two Colormen or Colorwomen share the same Color; however there is one exception: Man In Amber Apricot. No one is sure how he came to be, as there is no Woman In Amber Apricot. He is a combination of Amber and Apricot, yet Man In Amber and Man In Apricot are not affected by his existence.
......
Anything I need to add?

Just wait until Toz fixes the VEC one; the Colormen should be good to go though.
