Let me be clear- This is on me, and me alone. I will create the content for and make the posts. This is something I want to do for the site.
In the end, it gives us one spot to view a quick 'snapshot' of the various characters in one place- which satisfies the Initiatives request. At the same time, we keep the actual profiles in their rightful places. Sure, it adds to the forums as whole but in this, it's a win-win situation.
I also think it's nice to have a quick reference and be able to see who ( as in character ) is active, retired, etc.
These are the current 'status' tags I have. If you can think of more, please, let me know.

A note on Deceased- this is reserved for characters whose creator has died or chose to kill off a character with zero chance of bringing them back or the player chose to leave... Haitus or MIA are alternatives if the writer is uncertain of the character's future.
