Hello, and welcome to another website for one of my fanfic verses. Yu-Gi-Oh! is probably the most beloved show to me of any I enjoy. It also had one of the most expansive timelines in my fanfic verse. This site is mostly for my newest timeline, the one I crafted once all canon was known (and once I decided to rebel against some of it), so that curious readers old and new can sort out what's going on and what's changed between my two main YGO verses. It's been slow going, but it was always my plan to get my current timeline into a position to have the characters go on fun mystery adventures, just like in the old verse. It may not be as different from the old timeline as it might initially appear!

Of course, as always, I write using dub names and localizations (with the exceptions of Rishid and Miruko, because I was using their original names for so long before the changes were revealed that I never could get used to the dub names). That is my choice because that's "my" YGO and always will be. However, I'm the first to be aggravated by bad dub changes to the plot and I try to write using the original Japanese plot and character information on many occasions so that the readers can know what was really supposed to have happened. So in some ways, it's an "uncut dub" type of thing. However, I keep the classic dub humor, as that's also part of "my" YGO! And on some occasions, I feel like the dub characterization for certain characters is better than the original, which is how I feel about Lector and Crump. I fell in love with Lector, not Kogoro Daimon. Lector seems more justice-driven and I love his accent! Meanwhile, dub Crump is not a dirty old man, which is certainly preferable when he's a protagonist in my stories!

I write almost entirely from the anime version of YGO, as the manga is not generally my cup of tea. But I do make an exception for Duke Devlin's introduction, as I really detest how shallow the anime intro made him look! My version of his intro is 95% manga, 4% original tweaks by me, and 1% anime. I also occasionally will throw in something else from the manga that fleshes things out a smidge, such as Yami Bakura's more overt protectiveness of Ryou Bakura, Atem and Thief King Bakura's deep conversations during the Pharaoh's Memories arc, and the intriguing comment by Yami Marik to Yami Bakura that he looks forward to taming the darkness. The character Pete Coppermine from the YGO R manga is also around, and I figure that a version of the R storyline has happened in my verse, with the tweak, of course, that the bad guys are not trying to revive Pegasus since in the anime version he isn't dead.

The character profiles are written with the background information as revealed in my fics, as well as with actual canon information.

The pictures for the Ishtar profiles (including Yami Marik) were taken by Mojobubbles/Amanechan/Chibi Cheesecake/TheLightninginMe. All other pictures I either have amongst my files from years ago and no longer know where they're from or else I took them myself from my DVDs. If I have a picture you took and you're not credited, gomen nasai!

Of course, YGO and all characters are copyright Kazuki Takahashi. I'm just having fun with them because he seriously inspired me!

Have fun browsing through the pages!
