About me
Hi. I'm using this space as a glorified notepad, but in case someone comes here expecting to learn about the person who edits too much, I guess I should put some stuff here.
- I like Tears of Themis a whole lot; spending time editing this wiki is my way of continuing to engage with this game when there's nothing to do in-game but reread cards and other stories.
- Wiki editor since 2005ish but still a bit rusty in spots after a long break.
- Fan of antagonists and other arrogant/possessive/yandere characters.
- (Overly) Proud 100% Vyn archive owner.
Wannabe behind-the-curtain tinkerer.
Datawise, I want this place to have every piece of information a player might want to look up, from the mundane to the meta. This includes assets; Hoyo has done beautiful work here, and I want people to be able to appreciate it with high quality character sprites and background images.
Lorewise, I'd like it if this place were a well-cited and well-illustrated repository about life in ToT's world, so that whenever someone asks something like "wait, where did it say Hugh lives in the capital now?" there's a reference note showing exactly which chapter.
So anyway, glorified notepad: go

Personal to-do list
Last updated 2023 Dec 16
- Continue filling out character/location/organization pages with lore and background images.
- Progress:
- Main story done up through 9
- second pass may be needed through Chapter 1-3 to incorporate minor details that I started adding in Ch4 (example: Marius looks up to Van Kerrel, Artem is considered good at dividing up work)
- Personal stories completed up through Ch4 and some sweet chapters
- Further content to be commenced in CN launch order. Currently looking at: A Love Poem to Skadi
- Main story done up through 9
- Progress:
- Reactivate a sad underpowered alt account (or find a longplay YT video?) to fill out one-time Trials of Themis levels
- Translation update watcher
- Done: Card names+obtain quotes, phone items (audio/video/texts), private messages, badges, illustrations, big data lab
- To-do: Stages/battle quotes, item names+descriptions, analyses, observations, evidence
- Go back through recordings for Skadi DLC release and Gufeng to finish any missing info on pages
- Get maps from monopoly events?
- Character sprite galleries - the various expressions for each character whose sprites we have
- DB for characters appearing in story stages and battles (implementing in roughly launch order
- Main story done up through Ep6
- Anomaly stages/legal studies NOT done
- Low-priority issue discovered while implementing: Summer Breeze debates were never recorded
- Low-priority issue discovered while implementing: Rework older events with single script pages (e.g. SotN, RRG) to be multi-page with short stories, in line with newer events (e.g. Snowfallen, CCG)
- Internal debate: What are the criteria for a minor character to get a dedicated page?
- Full name, data lab entry, and reasonable amounts of detail seem clearly deserving e.g. Tobias Becker, Juno Watson
- Data lab entry, but single name and/or fewer details: Hard to draw the line, for example I felt we have enough on Ragnar for a page but we basically only know one thing about Giovanni, so I skipped him. Fair?
- Characters with no data lab entry: Hard mode. Make pages to populate the world of Stellis, even if the bio is a sentence long? Don't, to avoid the clutter?
- Additional consideration: Characters from outside Stellis with few (but more than zero) known facts get short notes on their country pages e.g. Manfred and Carl, Padilla and Yehya, but Stellis' page seems too large for this compromise
- Additional consideration: Personal story characters might seem more deserving of a page than one-off card story characters, but sweet chapter stories are so short that we often know the bare minimum about named characters like, say, Juan Fowler (Artem SwCh1) - the page would basically say a professional-sounding version of "sad kid whose parents are considering a divorce" and that almost feels like I'm wasting the time of anyone who visits?
- Additional waffling: Buuuut also I have occasionally made pages for characters just because I thought they were funny/interesting even if we know next to nothing about them in-universe e.g. Mavic
- Anyway, let's keep a running list of named characters I've skipped or relegated to a mention on a location page (so far) - useful as examples, discussion, and a to-do list if I ever decide to make pages : Manfred, Carl and Rena, Giovanni, Amanda, Mr. Wilson, Yolanda Jenkins and Randy Evans, Eason Nguyen, Prof Xumen, Janet Winton, Mary Roberts, George von Halen and John von Haden, Miranda O'Connor, her father, and Lee Phillips, Laurie Riker, Mr. Darby and Ms. Martel, Mr. Martel, Karl Alvarez and Elliot Howard, Mason Fernandes, Cedric Ross, Mr. Cole and Ayden Jiminez
