Of particular importance to those who wish to post articles of original characters that have been/are currently used in other games: PDb’s purpose is to showcase original works created by the Champions Online community. We would prefer that any text or images with direct reference to Intellectual Properties other than CO are avoided. Links to outlying websites such as the VirtueVerse wiki are recommended if you would like to provide a reference to your (character’s) exploits in other games.
Article Creation
In order to create an article, it’s best to first determine if your character’s name has already been used. Type the name you wish to search for in the search text box and left-click on either the Go or Search buttons.
