I see a lot of people have the pups or parents of their characters on pages too. So why not link pages together?

EXAMPLE: King's father, Cassio, has a character page as does King. In an optional field, you can input a headshot, name, and link to the parent, in this case, Cassio.

Illustration below. If someone else owns the character, same approval process we have applies.

Hope that makes sense...

Ooh good idea, I like it. Will certainly make things easier, instead of having to go to the owner's profile to see all their characters. Maybe to add to this, also be able to link to the character's parents, siblings, mates and pack members (if they're a wolf and have a pack for instance).

Hasn't something similar been suggested previously?

I had this idea from the very start, actually; I just didn't have time to include it, because it's not that easy to add. But I'll probably do it one day.

Great! :D Thanks Steet!

I was thinking the default fields to be...
- Mate
- Parents
- Offspring
- Friends

And one blank one where you type in what the group means (Pack, sled team, etc)

I think adding a "Friends" one is going abit too far for now.

First, I'd like to say I really like this idea, it would make it simpler to browse through the section. (In my opinion anyway)

I think I have to side with Conay on this one..."Friends" is a little too far. I think it should be more like this :

-Mate
-Parents
-Offspring
-Packmates
-Team Mates

The packmates would obviously be for wolves, and team mates would be for sled dog teams...Although, I'm not sure if they should be separate sections or not, because I do know some fan-characters that have been on a sled team AND a wolf pack...soo.. xD

I love this idea. It will be like a family tree. ^^ Plus it will be easier to find the family members and such than having to look through all of the member's characters, like Draco stated.
