I'm still thinking over how this page should be handled and I think best by doing things (Creating this page) and vocalizing it (Creating this Comment) with the hope of some feedback. By no means am I an authority on Paradox or how it should be handled, just a fan contributing so hopefully we can get some more comments on these pages. I know I don't want to put this information on the Character page when it is up for two reasons. One, not all characters will become companions, probably. Two, a character page would work best as a category for finding characters than an info dump. My current idea is to move this information to the Gameplay page and make sections on that page for Exploration, Combat, Companions etc... because this page is a bit short and sparse right now.

As for adding recruitment information to each character's, I have two concerns. Firstly, explaining the mechanic in detail on every page would become a bit repetitive and there might be other character mechanics that need explaining so I believe mechanics should be left to their own page and assume people understand mechanics or link to them when people go to a page. Secondly, giving the recruitment chance for each specific character would be difficult because of the different Recruitment Chances for characters and the different recruitment rates of players. For example, if Dahlia had her default 25 Affinity and the Luka and Co. only had the default 100% recruitment chance, the chance of recruiting Dahlia drops to roughly 1.5% which means the potential recruitment chance of different players for Dahlia is anywhere between 1.5% to 18.75%, potentially even below 1.5% if players pissed off Dahlia and lowered her Affinity. We could just give the maximum possible value for the Part of Paradox the girl appears in but most girls are pretty easy to recruit anyways so the effort might not be worth it. This is all assuming the formula I've put up is even correct.
