A pre-existing feature in the game could be used for these. After returning to haven from a clockwork run, there is an item summary page along with a party portrait. Something like that code perhaps could be used to generate a webpage with flash or javascript screen to display the characters. Or just something that would take a quick snapshot of the characters in inspect mode in-game, in whatever angles the Devs decide. Along with perhaps achievements or anything else deemed appropriate to list with it.
It is worth investing some time into this for it could prove to be a powerful promotional tool for the game. Especially if there is something like a recruitment link. I’m sure people would love to link their game characters to their social networking profiles, forum signatures, etc. I imagine that would draw forth a lot of potential players who wouldn’t perhaps have seen the ads for the game. I mean, who could resist the sheer adorableness of the knights? :P
This wouldn’t involve their game account name, so there might not be a security issue if anyone’s worried about that.
A fantastic idea; I'd love to share my knight's profile on facebook, my friends would look at it and go "ohhh i have to have that" and then they'd all make accounts and i'd get mini-mist tanks for them joining up.
