The Maria Kintobor Chronicles
Frequently Asked Questions and Guide
Author's Note: I am putting this up as a quick reference guide for anyone who might want to know anything that might not have been covered in the story thus far. I do accept questions, and if they end up being appropriate enough I will add them here, as long as they do not give away too much in future chapters. If a question ends up being about future events, I'll add it, but will only properly answer it as the event passes in the story.
Data that will be included at the current time will be simple things like Character Profiles, World Data, Technical Items, and other such supplementary data.
Feel free to ask about anything you read. I have a long way to go with this story, and I'm honestly itching to tell it as quickly as I can. I don't like the idea of making people wait on me to finish chapters, but work has a bad habit of getting in the way.
If you have any questions regarding Arcadia in general, I must first point you to Anthony Bault, the author of The Heroes of Arcadia: The Gamemaster's Legacy. You may also visit Fort Ticonderoga, our home forum where most our brainstorming happens, as well as a long running HoA role play.

~~As before, I must first mention that The Maria Kintobor Chronicles would not exist at all if it were not for Anthony Bault's Heroes of Arcadia fics. He is the one that created Adaman the Golem and his ancient traveling companions, King Ralius the Elementalist, Zorin Harkenian the Warrior, Reynard Prower the Magi, and Sir Eric of the Larson Clan the Gamemaster.
~~With the inclusion of Ryu the Weredragon, MercStar, Ashura the Hedgehog, David Gonterman and many others, Arcadia is becoming a great place to write about. Please do give their works a read.
~~I must also thank Sega for their impressive games that pretty much framed my childhood. The characters they created spawned a great many of the ideas that first fueled this story. The original characters Maria Robotnik, Shadow the Hedgehog, Gerald Robotnik and Ivo Robotnik (Eggman) are their intellectual property.
~~While I didn't play as many of their games as a kid, Capcom and their Mega Man series have definitely defined my tastes in platform and adventure games during my adult years. I hope that my love of the characters shows in my work. Dr. Light, Dr. Wily, Dr. Cossack, Mega Man/Rock, Roll, Proto Man/Blues, Kalinka Cossack, Dr. Cain, Dr. Weil, Gate, Dr. Tadashi Hikari, Dr. Doppler, Dr. Caskett, The Robot Masters and Metools/Mettaurs belong to them.
~~If it hasn't been made perfectly clear, I have taken quite a few liberties with naming some of the additional characters. The most obvious, or at least I hope so, is Isaac Asimov, who is one of my favorite authors. A few other characters have, and will continue to show up from time to time. Characters such as Nagari Akatsuki and Erina Kinjo Won, from Martian Successor Nadesico, being two that I got a great deal of entertainment from.
~~Some of the other characters, such as Rebecca, I made through inspiration from friends. I'm also hoping to keep with the musical theme that many of the Mega Man characters have, like the Metools that have appeared thus far. Rebecca, Metools Trance, Maestro, Rhythm, Tom, Al, Mike, and Fugue, and Xavier Hedgehog are mine. I do not mind them being used in other works, just please give me credit at some point in time.
~~Lastly, I thank my lovely wife, Stephanie who not only puts up with my zany, scatterbrained ideas, but also with my choice in profession. She tolerates my current absence as I sit in a tent on a tiny compound in the middle of Afghanistan, where I began to actually write down my notes and outlines that eventually became The Maria Kintobor Chronicles. The fact that she not only tolerates my geeky nature, but joins me in it is all the blessing I could ask for in this world.
