           REFERENCE DOCUMENT

 VERSION 1.0 -- MAY 11, 2006

   The business of the Legion of Net.Heroes is one
fraught with danger, and all-too-often, a legionnaire
has fallen.  The LNH honours these friends and
comrades within the Hall of Lost Heroes.
   It is a sacred place, and new members are not
permitted to venture within its austere walls.  Each
of the Lost Heroes is given a plaque, briefly
describing who they were and the manner in which they
fell.  Some of the legionnaires (i.e., those who died
before budget cuts) even have a statue made by a blind
sculptress retained by the LNH for just such an
occasion.
   For all the Lost Heroes, there is also included a
keepsake from among their personal possessions.
   Some dead legionnaires are noticeably absent, among
them the traitors My-Kel and Comics Snob Boy.  But
even those heroes who stayed true blue till the end
are not represented completely; this is because I've
invariably missed someone. :-)

   Thanks to Saxon Brenton for jogging my memory about
a few I had missed; I'm sure I've missed a few more,
so feel free to correct me.  You'll notice that I've
left most of the KEEPSAKES blank.  If the primary
author is still around, I leave it to them to choose
the keepsake; characters sans authors, I appeal to the
group.
   I'll incorporate all changes into the next version
of the document; sadly, since there will always be
another lost hero, this document will always require
revision.  (Also of note: I'll have a corrected draft
of the Receptionist Guide within a month or so.)

"In the beginning, Milos seems to have no clue how to relate
 to anyone.  He is quizzical, leaving the viewer questioning
 and wondering..."

"If a comic book, book, movie or novel is not somebody's fantasy 
then who wrote it and to whom does it appeal to?  In order for a 
shared universe to have a widespread appeal, it has to appeal on 
a primal level.  If somebody says superhero comics are just 'wish 
fulfillment' then he needs to explain what is entertainment that 
doesn't satisfy our wishes and what satisfaction at all you can get 
from it." -- Dr. Martin Phipps
