Talk:Breath of Fire IV

Illustrator
Who did the illustration for this game? --58.108.37.239 06:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Wait a second...
Breath of Fire IV wasn't on the PS2. It was on the Playstation, and now I don't know if the release dates are accurate... --Dalkaen 02:11, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * To be perfectly honest, I don't know why I did that. It must have been a late-night edit because it makes absolutely no sense. The release dates are correct though. --John Lynch 00:05, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Alright then, thanks for clearing that up. --Dalkaen 02:12, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

What about momo?
well, i was just mentioned on the page, that this game, has no type off whatsoever realation to the previous ones:

"it should be noted that Breath of Fire IV and Breath of Fire V do not seem to have any relation to each other or to any other Breath of Fire installment outside of being part of the same series."

and momo (from breath of fire 3) in wyndia? and the people of this world has the bad habbit of summoning "gods" from other worlds. so, there we have it, the explanation.

makes perfect sense to me. so even if it doesn't follow the same storyline, it could be that this is just another paralel dimension.

Zig/Ursula scene
I remember this scene in the American version, and I'm fairly certain it was still in there, pants dropping and all. Except that there was no mention of what she was showing, possibly making it even worse... ~ Oni Lukos ct 00:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Really? I honestly don't remember this scene in my NA version.  And most people Ive talked also dont have this scene, but there were some who also reported that their NA version had that scene too.  Does your NA version contain the other scenes? -- whipsandchains 02:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No, everything else mentioned there was indeed deleted or substituded. My copy in numbered SLUS-01324, if that makes any difference. ~ Oni Lukos ct 00:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Not sure what my number is I'm afraid. DO you want to take that portion out or add a little note to it that it doesnt appear on all NA versions?--whipsandchains 03:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice a similar scene when I played through the NA version.. but here it is in Japanese for comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mLVRc17E9s --68.22.242.244 (talk) 20:49, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Scias
what happened to the Scias article? It seemed like it was well written and what not, so why's it gone?
 * Someone went to all the BOF character pages and redirected them to their respective game pages. =/ Stills64 04:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Successful good article nomination
I am glad to say that this article which was nominated for good article status has succeeded. This is how the article, as of July 10, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

 * 1. Well written?: Yes.
 * 2. Factually accurate?: Yes. Citations present in all critical points, with correct formatting.
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: Yes.
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Not applicable.
 * 5. Article stability? Yes.
 * 6. Images?: Yes. Great job on the fair use rationales. They're perfect, to my knowledge.

If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status. — Carson 05:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, Carson! Nall 15:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Comparing the character change system to that of Final Fantasy X's?
"Another new feature to the battle system of the Breath Of Fire series is a character switch system in battle. Similar to Final Fantasy X's character battle switching system. In battle you have 6 characters. Three of which are in the front and do all the fighting. While in the back row the party cannot do anything. However they restore slight amounts of AP every turn and occasionally will attack an enemy or use a special ability to assist the front party while in the back row."

The second sentence, aside from being grammatically incorrect, is actually quite inaccurate. Breath of Fire IV was released a full year before Final Fantasy X. Additionally, the system is not new to the Breath of Fire series either (as the first sentence states). The first game also allowed you to switch characters mid-battle, although, unlike IV's, sideline characters did not restore AP and switching cost a turn. If no one has any objections, I will change the article in the near future to reflect the more relevant objections. Paltheos 20:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the catch, Pal. I monitored this article for a while after it went GA, but I've been away from WP for awhile and I guess it slipped under my radar.  I went ahead and removed the text for the time being, but you're encouraged to re-add it if you could make it better.  To whoever added it in the first place (it was an anon IP so I can't really track them), we're not censoring you here, just trying to keep this page to a manageable GA standard (IE, free from original research - you need a reference if you want to make that claim).  Nall 01:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Subtitle in the English version?
I noticed Knx for some reason changed the translation of the Japanese subtitle (to something... weird) but also added the old translation to the English name of the game. The English box art however shows no subtitle; since changing the weird new translation back to the old correct one would result in saying the same thing twice, I'm merging it; could anyone verify whether the English version has a subtitle and perhaps revert the article to the old way if there isn't one? 213.10.112.111 (talk) 23:19, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Fourth Deleated Scene
The article didn't mention a scene that was taken out where Ryu accidentally gropes Ursula, so I added it in. Capiche? 75.157.78.82 (talk) 06:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Zig/Ursula scene again
There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about the scene where Ursula drops her pants in front of a sailor, one of which slipped into the article (again). The sailors do NOT doubt Ursula is a girl. In fact, the fact that she's a girl is the whole reason she's put to the test. Just to get it out of the way: the source that was already cited on the page gets the scene (mostly) right. 85.145.118.99 (talk) 15:54, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Breath of Fire IV has been Delisted from the Playstation 3 store.
To the Breath of Fire fanbase, sad news. Recently I checked the playstation 3 Store and as I was about to buy Breath of Fire IV, it got delisted.

I'm very upset that I can't buy it anymore, what am I going to do. Am I supposed to spend alot of money on a real Playstation Disc copy?

How could Capcom and Sony delist the game without warning. I'm very sad I can't buy the download game anymore on my Playstation 3 console. I want to contact Capcom about the game being Delisted and have them bring it back at least while the Playstation 3 console is supported, they should've had an online news article about the PS1 games being delisted. Please reply because I'm very unhappy Breath of Fire IV is gone from the Playstation Network store. CrosswalkX (talk) 01:44, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

This is not true. Breath of Fire IV remains purchasable on PS Vita and PS3 in North America and Japan. NukaCola (talk) 16:55, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Breath of Fire IV PC/Windows EU Release Date is Wrong
I have no idea where the date of September 10, 2003 came from for the EU release date of Breath of Fire IV on PC/Windows, but this Wiki uses it, GameFAQs uses it, and the Breath of Fire Fandom page uses it and none of them have proof. Meanwhile, Mobygames lists a March 31, 2003 release date, and there's a review of the game in the June 2003 PC Gamer UK Magazine where it is listed as "Out Now". This September 10th date should be removed. NukaCola (talk) 16:58, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

An exciting month of wiki events!
 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room. When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Photobacterium phosphoreum

Photobacterium phosphoreum is a Gram-negative, bioluminescent bacterium living in symbiosis with deep-sea marine organisms, such as anglerfish. It can emit bluish-green light (490 nm) due to a chemical reaction between FMN, luciferin and molecular oxygen catalysed by an enzyme called luciferase.

Ecology
P. phosphoreum appears to be distributed worldwide in oceans and is found in a variety of different marine habitats. It was first isolated in 1878 from seawater, but has also been reported from the surfaces of fish and other marine animals, the intestines of fish, coastal seawater, and from a state of bioluminescent symbiosis with fish. P. phosphoreum colonizes a wide variety of deep-sea fishes which generally occur in the mesopelagic and bentho-pelagic zones.

As a bioindicator
P. phosphoreum is the most frequently used luminescent bacterium in water quality assessment.

Alfred Elis Törnebohm

Alfred Elis Törnebohm (16 October 1838 – 21 April 1911) was a Swedish geologist, best known today for his study of the overthrust of the Caledonian range.

After studies at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) 1855-1858, he worked at the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) 1859-1873, from 1870 as its head. 1873-1874 he studied petrographic microscopy at University of Leipzig under Ferdinand Zirkel. In 1874 he quit SGU for private activity as a geologist, and for a number of years he conducted geological surveys for various Swedish companies. He taught geology and mineralogy at KTH from 1878 and held a position as lecturer 1885-1897. He returned to SGU as head in 1897, succeeding Otto Torell, and was named professor. He remained on the post until 1906.

He was elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1876.

Legacy
The mountain range of Törnbohmfjella in Nathorst Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard is named after him.

Queen Anne's Bounty

Queen Anne's Bounty was a scheme established in 1704 to augment the incomes of the poorer clergy of the Church of England and by extension the organisation ("The Governors of the Bounty of Queen Anne for the Augmentation of the Maintenance of the Poor Clergy") that administered the bounty (and eventually a number of other forms of assistance to poor livings).

Original structure
The bounty was originally funded by the annates monies: 'first fruits' (the first year's income of a cleric newly appointed to a benefice) and 'tenths' – a tenth of the income in subsequent years traditionally paid by English clergy to the pope until the Reformation and thereafter to the Crown. Henry VIII, on becoming the recipient of these monies had had them carefully valued and specified as sums of money. This valuation was never revised, and in 1920 the income from First Fruits and Tenths was between £15,000 and £16,000.

The bounty money was to be used to increase the income of livings yielding less than £80 a year. It was not paid directly to incumbents, but instead used to purchase land (generally £200-worth), the income from which augmented the living. The livings to be augmented were selected by lot from those with an annual income less than £10, or (in the early years of the bounty) those where augmentation by a third party was offered conditional upon augmentation by bounty funds. Parishes worth less than £20 a year were included in the ballot in 1747, those worth less than £30 a year in 1788 and those under £50 in 1810.

Many of the fine Georgian and Victorian parsonages still in existence were funded by mortgages drawing on the fund after the Clergy Residence Repair Act 1776 (17 Geo. 3. c. 53) was passed 'to promote the residence of the parochial clergy, by making provision for the more speedy and effectual building, rebuilding, repairing or purchasing houses and other necessary buildings and tenements for the use of their benefices'. Known as the Gilbert Act, it enabled the lending of up to three years' income of all benefices for the building or repair of a parsonage house.

Later developments
Augmented parishes came to find it more convenient to not actually purchase land, but to leave the purchase money deposited with the bounty, who paid a guaranteed but moderate rate of interest. The money held by the bounty was invested at higher rates of interest, the difference between interest paid the bounty on their investments, and that paid by the bounty to parishes going to meet the running costs of the bounty and to increase the funds available for augmentation. In 1829 the purchase money deposited with the bounty amounted to over £1m, which was invested in bank annuities (financial instruments of fluctuating value, then worth over £1.3m); by 1900 the bounty was holding over £7m credited to various augmented livings.

The original (first fruits and tenths) income and that from interest rate differences on money on deposit with the bounty, had by 1815 allowed the allocation of nearly £1.5m of capital (securing nearly £0.5m of third-party benefactions) to augment the income of 3,300 livings. To accelerate augmentation, between 1809 and 1820 Parliament made annual grants to the bounty of £100,000; £1.1m in total. As a result, by 1824 all livings under £30 a year had been augmented and there were funds in hand to permit the augmentation of all livings worth under £50 a year. By 1841, it was estimated, the operations of the bounty (discounting the effects of the Parliamentary grants of 1809-20) had secured additional church income over ten times that of the first fruits and tenths.

The Ecclesiastical Commission reported (1836) the following data on low-income livings: (As a rough comparison, in Queen Anne's reign, 3,800 livings had been worth less than £50 a year and therefore excused (in perpetuity) payment of first fruits and tenths.)

After 1836, bounty augmentations were generally to match third party benefactions to livings worth less than £200 a year. In 1890, the total amount distributed was £176,896.

On 2 April 1947, by the Church Commissioners Measure 1947 (10 & 11 Geo. 6. No. 2), the functions and assets of Queen Anne's Bounty were merged with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to form the Church Commissioners. The archives of Queen Anne's Bounty are now held by the Church of England Record Centre; specific documents may be consulted by appointment.

On 16 June 2022 the Church Commissioners published an interim report on research into links between Queen Anne's Bounty and the Atlantic slave trade. The report said that Queen Anne's Bounty had invested significant sums in the South Sea Company, which transported 34,000 slaves to the Spanish Americas in the 18th century, and had received benefactions from people with links to slavery, including Edward Colston. Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, apologised for the links with slavery identified in the report. In January 2023 the Church Commissioners announced that they were setting up a fund of £100 million to be spent over the next nine years on addressing historic links with slavery, a figure increased to £1B in March 2024 following a report commissioned by the Church Commissioners

Talk:Group B

GTO?
Did the Ferrari GTO really run as a class B? Doesn't say that in the Ferrari_GTO article. Gzuckier 14:50, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The "288" GTO was not released as a Group B racer, but it was initially developed as one. --SFoskett 15:49, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

The 288 GTO Evo was race ready in 1986, but no races materialised for it to compete in... Incidentally, the Ferrari F40 was derived pretty much directly from the Evo... 84.92.80.169 13:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

9 minutes?
From paragraph on Group 4 and Group 2: "At one particular rally its combined time for all the stages was nine minutes quicker than that of the rally winner." <-- This needs some clarification. If the Audi was nine minutes quicker, then why wasn't it the winner? Or was it 9 minutes quicker than the previous year's winner? Was it in a different class?

Answer
Before Group B began, when Audi had just released the Quattro for Group 4, they entered it in a race as not a competetor, just to test how it would perform. Since it was the first four wheel drive car in rally, and wasn't exactly homologated for the series, they couldn't compete and wanted to test it. The end result of the race was that the Audi car finished 9 minutes faster then the car that took first place, and had Audi been competing officially, they would have won by a huge margin.

Weight
Do someone know how much was the weight on Group B rally cars, eg. Lancia S4 and Peugeot 205 ?

Group B Lancia S4 about 970 kg.

Minimal weight was definitely variable depending of engine capacity. Ericd 20:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Circuit Racing
Why there are no mention of circuit racers as the FIA used Gr B to replace the Gr 4 and it attracted a fair selection of Porsche 930s during the early 80'sWilliRennen 12.19 24 Feb 2006 (utc)

Group B and Group 4 were allowed to race on closed track. Until the WRC there was no distinct regulations for rally cars. Ericd 20:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Unrestricted ?
"By contrast, Group B had few restrictions on technology, design and the number of cars required for homologation to compete." Wrong a production of 200 was required. Ericd 20:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

1983 Season
The 1983 season section neglects to mention that Lancia won the Manufacturers title, which was considered much more important than the drivers title at the time. I've added an extra sentence to that effect and also mentioned the fact that Lancia did not contest the RAC Rally, even though Walter Rohrl might have won the driver Championship if they had done so. 84.92.80.169 13:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

The statement above is plainly wrong: Walter Röhrl only had a contract to drive six rallys in 1983. His contract explicitly excluded his participation in the Safari, the Bandama, the 1000 Lakes and the RAC. It is well known that Röhrl hated these events with a passion and therefore he was not willing to drive there. (For readers able to speak German, watch the following youtube-clip where Christian Geistdörfer confirms this information at around 19′50″: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee6Zzk1cOoM.) This mannerism is also responsible for his break-up with Opel the year before, as Röhrl declined to drive the RAC which had been very important for sponsor Rothmans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.187.110.29 (talk) 20:53, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Renault 5 Turbo
The R5 Turbo was introduced as a Group 4. Many early Group B cars were Group 4 cars who shaw their homologation "extended" to Group B. Ericd 18:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Photos
The article looks great to me, but I do have one quibble: there are 16 photos and they're all about cars. OK, one is a car plus Michelle Mouton, and a whole four photos show cars being driven, but would it be possible to dredge up images of different aspects of Group B? Routes, fans, startlines, or even a particular part of a car...? Even some some maintenance shot with a couple of spanners & tyres lying around, or... well, anything that could fill in a bit more of the picture. No? bobrayner (talk) 17:58, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Possibly but this is an article on a group of cars, not its culture, so fans and routes may not make sense. Rally Wonk (talk) 01:14, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Photos
I think there is a need of more sources here. Don't get me wrong: groupbrally.com is good, but it is used to much as a source here... 206.116.134.81 (talk) 06:28, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Narrow the scope
The article, ostensibly about Group B racing, covers much more material about several other groups. Perhaps this excess information should be moved to different pages.Winston Spencer (talk) 13:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I've removed the section on Group 2 and 4 with Audi's four-wheel drive entry. Not pertinent and have their own articles. Rally Wonk (talk) 01:13, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

1986 Henri Toivonen and Markku Alen crash - Fuel cell
"Toivonen and co-driver Sergio Cresto were found outside the car, they were thrown out and rolled over by car." (sic, now corrected), but then it says: "Simply using a racing fuel cell in place of the fuel tank may have saved them." Erm...how?Yevad (talk) 20:41, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism
>Group S rules would have limited car engine power to 300 hp (225 kW). To encourage innovative designs, ten examples of a car would have been required for homologation, rather than the 200 required for Group B.

200? That doesn't sound right. Somebody made a typo or something. Can anyone find the right number and correct that? --167.58.99.84 (talk) 14:28, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

 * 200 is true and verifiable in the regulations. Rally Wonk (talk) 01:16, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

FIA banned Group B 1986?
Perhaps in the WRC? Group B was permitted even in 1997 according to the FIA, although a more specific WRC rule narrows it to Group A and B. Still, a good source for the repeated claim is required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rally Wonk (talk • contribs) 23:16, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Table colours
I've removed a few redundant row colours from the cars table, some were too close to decipher, one didn't have entries. However, I also removed: There is no such thing as semi-homologation, but I'm not sure how these differ. Then, maybe a car could be specifically designed for rally but not so good in circuits, not clear. There's also no source for much of this. There is no source used for 'mainstream high-volume models for homologation'. I read about the Lada 2105 from the source given that it was no less of a derived/special build then the above. --Rally Wonk (talk) 16:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Group B cars, specifically designed to compete in the class
 * Semi-homologated cars, based on existing production models and made especially to pass homologation
 * Cars that used mainstream high-volume models for homologation

Group B racing is often remembered in popular racing culture as a safety nightmare, which lead to it's cancellation
This article briefly mentions the safety concerns and accidents that lead to FIA cancelling all Group B racing but since that is a major part of it's legacy along with some of the amazing race cars that came out of group B racing, it needs either have a section in the main body of the article discussing the safety issue with group B races and/or something added to the Legacy section on the safety issue. If we look at the The Isle of Man TT (aka Tourist Trophy races), a motorcycle race known for safety issues, you see it has a section of the subject of safety (of the race). We should adopt a similar model IMO for this article. 2600:1700:56A0:4680:FC14:8B92:FC9F:4B19 (talk) 21:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Template talk:Europe-royal-stub

I think "European noble" refers to far more people than "member of a European royal family", and therefore it would be appropriate to have a separate (though similar) template for the latter. Anyone disagree? KissL 14:53, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

"Continental"
I';ve removed the word "continental" from the template, since it also includes Irish royalty and last time I checked, Ireland wasn't on the European mainland. Grutness...wha?  06:35, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Travis Charest

Travis Charest (born 1969) is a Canadian comic book penciller, inker and painter, known for his work on such books as Darkstars, WildC.A.T.s, Grifter/Shi, WildC.A.T.s/X-Men: The Golden Age and The Metabarons. He is known for his detailed line work and muted color palette, and is a much sought-after cover artist, having done extensive cover work for many other books, such as various Star Wars series from Dark Horse Comics. His work has influenced artists such as Chrissie Zullo, Shelby Robertson, and David Marquez.

Early life
Charest was born in 1969 on a farm in the small Canadian town of Leduc, Alberta. His parents held various jobs, though he has stated that his mother and sister were skilled designers, and attributes his early childhood interest in drawing to them.

His earliest exposure to genre illustration came through Metal Hurlant, which his uncle collected. American comics were not among his earliest reading, and his initial drawings were of life, such as animals.

Career
Charest did not initially know how to parlay his drawing ability into a career, as there were no schools where he lived for such an endeavor, and did not foresee it as a profession. He worked a number of dead-end jobs, and it was while living on his own at age 18 or 19, and became friends with people who read comics, that he realized he could make a career out of it. Charest cites Mike Mignola, Adam Hughes, and Brian Bolland among his artistic influences, as well as many artists from the early 20th century.

Charest spent six months continuously producing new sample art and sending them to various publishers, including Marvel Comics and DC Comics. In 1992 he got his first paid work, when DC Comics hired him to provide the art for a Flash story in Showcase '93 #3 (March 1993). Charest drew the book from a full script, which he said meant that he did not have to make as many storytelling choices as he would have with a plot script, explaining in a 2020 interview, "My weak point is storytelling, I'm not a great storyteller. I'm good with cars and atmospheric things."

He followed that initial Flash story with another one that appeared in Flash Annual #5 (August 1992), which he calls "my first real thing", and then a story focusing on an arm wrestling match between the Hulk and the Thing written by Peter David in Incredible Hulk Annual #18.

He later became the regular artist on Darkstars, illustrating issues 4 - 7. He also produced cover work for other DC titles such as The Outsiders, Batman, and Detective Comics.

Charest was then contacted by publisher Jim Lee, who offered him work for Wildstorm Productions. Charest's first work for that studio was a pinup that appeared in WildC.A.T.s #0 (June 1993). Later that same year, he illustrated WildC.A.T.s Special #1 (November 1993). He subsequently illustrated back-up stories featuring Voodoo and Warblade in issues 8 and 9 of the regular series (February and March, 1994). He became the regular artist of the series with issue #15, illustrating the title during the runs of writers James Robinson and Alan Moore. While his initial work for Wildstorm was characterized by large amounts of cross-hatching, which was popular among the Image Comics founders and their imitators, Charest's style began to evolve as he looked to other designers that piqued his interest. His last regular issue on WildC.A.T.s was #31 (September 1996), though he later returned to illustrate the title's 50th issue (June 1998). He also did many covers and unpublished private commissions.

In 1999, Charest joined writer Scott Lobdell on a second series of Wildcats, illustrating five of the first six issues. Charest felt that his Wildcats both work, both under Moore and Lobdel, had begun to "slide," and that it was time to do something different. During the San Diego Comic-Con that year, the president of the French publisher Les Humanoïdes Associés invited Charest to lunch, where he offered the artist the opportunity to work on The Metabarons. Charest, having long-enjoyed L'Incal by Moebius, had aspired to work for the same publisher, and was "thrilled" by the offer, relating, "I was very young, ambitious and they told me that I could make complete pages, painted, not just drawn in pencil. I was going to live in Paris with my girlfriend, painting all day. 'It will be great!' I told myself."

In 2000 Charest moved to Paris, where he worked with filmmaker/artist Alejandro Jodorowsky on the Metabarons graphic novel Weapons of the Metabaron. Charest, having grown tired of superheroes, accepted the job, and planned to paint the entire graphic novel, something he had never done before. The process of that work went much more slowly than Charest had anticipated, and he illustrated only the first 29 pages of the book. Travis describes the feedback he received from his colleagues thus: "My editor encouraged me to be faster, while Jodorowsky always said, 'Don't listen to them, I'll distract them, you do what you want.'" Because Charest could only paint two or three pages a month, and he and his girlfriend had trouble paying the bills that incurred from living in Paris, they left the city after only a couple of years, and returned to the United States, where Charest's girlfriend could work. Humanoid Publishing selected Serbian artist Zoran Janjetov, who previously worked on the Incal books John Defaul and Technopriests, to complete the art for the project. Confessing that it was too much for him to handle at that point in his career, Charest stated in a 2020 interview that he no longer wished to paint interior pages, as it took him a week to paint an interior page, and that if he wished to produce fully-illustrated work, he would only do pencils and have another artist paint it.

By 2007 Charest had settled in California. Among his subsequent work was cover art for David Morrell's Captain America: The Chosen mini-series. He also ran the free webcomic strip Spacegirl on his MSN group. In 2008, a limited edition printed volume hardcover of Spacegirl was self-published by Charest and Big Wow Art, collecting the first 56 strips of the series.

Technique and materials
Charest usually prefers not to employ preliminary sketching practices, such as layouts, thumbnails or lightboxing, in part due to impatience, and in part because he enjoys the serendipitous way in which artwork develops when produced with greater spontaneity. He also prefers to use reference only when rendering objects that require a degree of real-life accuracy, such as guns, vehicles, or characters of licensed properties that must resemble actors with whom they are closely identified, as when he illustrated the cover to Star Trek: The Next Generation: Embrace the Wolf in 2000.

Charest previously illustrated on regular illustration board provided by publishers, though he disliked the non-photo blue lines printed on them. By 2000, he switched to Crescent board for all his work, because it does not warp when wet, produces sharper illustrations, and is more suitable for framing because it lacks the non-photo blue lines.

Charest uses mainly 2H lead to avoid smearing, and sometimes HB lead. For ink wash, he uses Rapidograph ink, and waters it down to three hues in order to achieve light gray, medium and charcoal tones, in addition to straight black. He applies the wash with watercolor brushes of various sizes. To ink linework he uses Rapidographs of all sizes. For color work, Charest uses Aquarelle watercolor pencils and acrylic paint for airbrush work. He also uses white Pelikan ink for additional effects such as highlights, fades and blends. Charest stated in 2000 that while he did not use a computer for his artwork, he would be using one soon, and anticipated they would be a necessity for professional artists. By the 2020s, he was producing artwork digitally, which allows him to complete pieces more quickly. His cover for Batman/Catwoman #6 (October 2021), for example, was made entirely in this method, which he explained was due to time constraints that required him to finish it more quickly.

According to Charest, the time he needs to finish a given page varies, depending on how fast his editor needs it, and what he is being paid, though because he came to prefer producing artwork that takes longer than the norm to complete by the time he left Wildstorm, he stated in 2000 that he no longer found it feasible to be the regular artist on a monthly series. He points to WildC.A.T.s/X-Men: The Golden Age as an example of a book that took him considerable time (under a year), though he stresses that he finished it on time.

Influence
Charest's work has influenced artists such as Chrissie Zullo, Shelby Robertson, and David Marquez.

Personal life
As of 1995, Charest was living in San Diego, California. As of 2020, he had a wife and a ten-year-old daughter.

Quit-rent

Quit rent, quit-rent, or quitrent is a tax or land tax imposed on occupants of freehold or leased land in lieu of services to a higher landowning authority, usually a government or its assigns.

Under English feudal law, the payment of quit rent (Latin Quietus Redditus, pl. Redditus Quieti) freed the tenant of a holding from the obligation to perform such other services as were obligatory under feudal tenure, or freed the occupier of the land from the burden of having others use their own distinct rights that affected the land (e.g. hunting rights which would have hindered farming). Thus, it was a payment for distinct rights that were connected with the full enjoyment of the land but not parcelled up in the ownership of the land. Formally, it was a sort of buy-back rather than a tax. A tax can be varied by the taxer; and if not paid there are penalties that can be varied by the taxer without formal limit. In contrast, the only sanction for not paying a feudal quit rent was that the alternative burdens would return. This imposed a ceiling on how much could be demanded in payment of a quit rent. Where the sanctions for non-compliance are limited in this way, a quit rent is a rent in form and name, and not a tax; where they are not so limited, a quit rent is a rent only in form and name, being rather a tax. The latter is the usual case today, as the former was in earlier times.

In post-feudal times, quit rents have continued to be imposed by some governments, usually attached to land grants as a form of land tax.

The quit rent system was used frequently by colonial governments in the British Empire. Many land grants in colonial America in the 17th and 18th centuries carried quit rent. Quit rents went on to be used in British colonies, protectorates, etc. in Asia and elsewhere in the 19th and 20th centuries. For example, in British North Borneo, Proclamation IX of 1902 made it a legal requirement for natives who claimed to own cultivated lands to take out separate land titles for themselves, charged at $2.00 per title with owners made to pay annual quit rent.

Some governments have now abolished the quit rent system and relieved those with a nominal quit rent obligation from the requirement to pay it, replacing quit rents with a uniform system of land tax. However, in other countries, such as Malaysia, quit rent remains an important means of raising revenue from landowners.

List of Spanish sail frigates

This is a list of Spanish sail frigates built or acquired during the period 1700-1854

Spanish frigates generally had religious names, often the names of saints or "our Lady". Those with primarily secular names (such as royal, geographical or adjectival names) usually had additionally a religious name (Avocación or alias), which is listed below in the second column where known.

An asterisk (*) in the "Launch date" column indicates the date of acquisition (purchase or capture) for vessels not built for the Spanish Navy.

The Habsburg Era - pre 1700
During the 17th century, and for much of the first half of the 18th century, the term 'frigate' (or 'fragata' in Spanish) encompassed ships with two complete gundecks rated at about 50 guns as well as smaller single-decked vessels. The smaller frigates evolved from the fast and lightly-armed vessels built chiefly on the coast of (Spanish) Flanders, and employed in the English Channel and southern North Sea, as well as escorting the trade routes from the Spanish Netherlands to the north coast of Spain.

The Final phase - 1815 to 1854
The post-Napoleonic era began with the acquisition of six frigates from Russia in 1818. These proved of poor quality and were soon disposed of.
