Well, obviously there's a practical limit on what OpMegs can write. He can't possibly cover every single character in the Legendary. Though this seems to be a very popular feature - certainly a crowd-pleaser, as it were, since everyone likes seeing their characters featured in someone else's work. That's part of the joy in shared storytelling and shared narrative universes. As such, even if Ops doesn't pursue this further (though I certainly hope he does), I think he's hit on a good format that could be applied in similar ways by other authors.
With his permission, of course.
But it's a good idea, really. See...I'm reminded of the old Crey website. Before the VirtueVerse wiki, the primary host for CoH community RP profiles was the Crey Threat Database, or something like that. I suspect the wider CoH community found that structure more restrictive than enabling, mind you - and perhaps it is, if people are writing them for their own characters.
It's something rather distinctly different when someone else produces that perspective. In that sense, what Ops has done is really that damn awesome on quite a few levels.
