Oops.I assumed we were in sync more or less with current DC canon.
I'm just really confused about how big the United Planets actually is. It can't be most of the universe because a universe is extremely big, but then you have really distant sectors as members of it. And I'm assuming the United Planets is like the United States and not the United Nations. It's not the most important thing in the world, but it helps to know what is near and far when you are writing.

Em, the LMB verse is *very* different from dc comics both in continuity and geography. Most dc characters do not exist in LMB continuity (that's the usual rule).
I can give you a better breakdown later when I'm not on my phone.
The UP *is* like the UN, not the USA. It encompasses most of known space. That is how legion continuity is. Remember, all our stories take place 1,000 years in the future.

I assume that the UP as we have it is within the Milky Way Galaxy. Interstellar travel takes enough of a suspension of disbelief, let alone intergalactic (says the guy whose character is from a planet where sentient life evolved from penguins).

Yes, this could be very bad. I've been operating and building my characters on the assumption that this is a future version of the DC Universe. That's part of the reason why I keep having to retcon so much (the other part is my own indecisiveness/stupidity).

Well, don't feel like you need to throw anything out. There's no reason the Sivanas and the Knights didn't exist 1,000 years ago just like in the DCU. You still have plenty of room to be creative!

Thank you!I love how Question Lad and everything I created with him is modern; he's an individualist and Nasger is essentially 16th century Portugal. I picture Nasgerians and their next-door rivals the Dutch Raltveech as these economic giants with tons of internal problems. It is unintentionally a huge contrast to the Roman Empire motiff you have going on, but somehow I think it will all work out.

I updated the Wiki today in reference to Lardy's two kids, Helena and Hugh to bring them up to date thru the recent events of "The Lord of the Oval" in which they are playing a big role. In Helena's case I finally created her article which had previously not existed.
In case anyone's curious the two are not based on my real kids at all. I have two boys, and they're 13 and 8.

I also just updated the Hugemanbreasts article with a short addendum about his Earth-4 version, who was recently introduced in my Onevision called "The Covenant".

I have updated my character's to their current status. I have also created an entry for Charltonburg. Anyone in the Chicagoland area might be able to recognize the inspirations for Charltonburg.

I agree with Cobie, don't worry too much about it. There are plenty of ways to get your creations to fit in with the LMB verse I'm sure your additions will be welcomed, and I don't think you're changing anyone else's creations right?

Most of it's just background information that sits in my notes, stuff pertaining to Emily's family that wouldn't come up in normal roleplaying or fanfiction. I share it occasionally with collaberators/friends because it's interesting.
A part of it is simply geography. My other character, Question Lad comes from this place called Nasger which I based on the Portuguese Empire. I just wonder where it would be in the context of the LMBverse (other than far).

Please add as much as you like! I've added the two categories for the IB entry that all the LMB entries have.

I think I need help with my article ... I'm deciding to completely separate Pbs and Disaster Boy, even though this is a slight retcon.
I'm not sure if I should just say Pbs is from Apokalypse (in the past or the Fourth World) ... or if I should make up a new race (and planets) similar to the New Gods/Eternals?
