Um, Rhi...? You keep putting different characters in these stories, damn it! And half of them were only in one or two episodes, and a chunk of the rest came out of your demented little mind. How in the !@#$ are the rest of us supposed to keep track of them? Especially when you keep forgetting and repeating names?
Hey! That was only, um, three times? On minor characters? I think? Okay, okay, sheesh. Right. Here's the guide. Alphabetized jump points below, or just page through, up to you. Look for people, even old and familiar names like Duncan or Methos, by their first name, not the last. On canon characters, where possible, I've listed the first episode in which they appeared (in quotes), or the novel (underlined). Stories in which they appear or were commented on are listed on the far right and set as jump points.
This is not a comprehensive list of all Rysher: Panzer/Davis characters, just all the characters, original and not, that I've used in my stories, or referred to at some length. And my apologies for being sword discriminatory, but immortals who weren't named are in here as 'unknown', while nameless mortals aren't in here at all. Why? Because the immortals are more likely to be used again later.
Many thanks to Alice in Stonyland for all the help and to Devo for mentioning that I really, really needed to do something like this.
