Okay, so I figured that I might as well do my own portal page for the wiki, because while I have pretty much only one whole story to my credit, I do have lots of other stuff to link up.  So, have a look at let me know what you think.



====== The Roughriders Portal ======

 

Out-of-story, the Roughriders is the primary faction of [[wiki:user:blackaeronaut|Benjamin Rhodes].

 

In-story, the Roughriders is a group of AIs, Sammies, Mecha Pilots, Fighter Jocks, and Engineers that do not know the meaning of fear.  Any one of them is guaranteed to make you crap your pants if they can catch you unawares.

Yeah, just looking to see if everything on there's gonna look right. I may have flubbed a link or two, but I imagine I can fix that real quick once I get
to working on it on the wiki-site.

ETA: Oh, and if you look carefully you'll see that I've gone ahead and named the rest of my Blackbirds and Piecemakers. ^_^
So you did. I see you also changed the spelling of Brownwyn Ffoulkes', sorry, Brownwyne Foulkes' name. (Which is okay; your team, your characters...)

Oh? Knew I shoulda dug up that one as well. Ah well, that can be fixed easily enough.
Considering how many the Roughriders use, you may want to link to the Fezig description as well.
