You know how some people have multiple characters on one profile, and some might even have them separated by section? Or you have a character that has a theme going, and you find multiple templates that would fit each of their life phases perfectly, but you can only choose one for the whole profile?
I was thinking that there should be a way for individual pages to be customized with a different template for more versatility and customization. However, I'm not sure how viable that would be, especially since some might not appreciate the sudden shift in template. Maybe it could be an epic membership only feature? Or it could be confined to certain templates that have a general theme made in different colors? (Like the Arcana Template, for example; you could have each page set to a different color as long as it belongs to that general template theme, maybe.) Or maybe there could be a way to make one template, but have different page variations in that template only.
It was something that I wanted to toss out as a suggestion because I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'm not sure if this would be something that's possible, (or if it was already suggested) but it's worth asking about anyway.

This sounds like a really cool idea. I would love to see more details and ideas about this, but I'm not even sure how it could be established even with having some knowledge of CSS.
This is not something I intend to support on official templates, but may be possible to achieve through a custom made epic template
I'm just gonna toss out there that consistency is an important part of usability and creating the idea that something is a cohesive whole, and I can guarantee that some people would wouod make every page different just because it's possible if they could. (I have been that person.) Some may even feel that having the ability means they are supposed to.
And those of us with multiple characters in one profile (I am, again, among that number) are, arguably, already abusing the system for personal benefit.

That's why I wasn't sure how viable it would be: while some may use it tastefully, others might go a little overboard. (I can't fault them, I'd do it too!) But that's why I suggested it as more of an epic membership thing than a general feature: it's nice to have for some individuality, but it's not necessarily core to using RPR's various customization options as a whole. It's also why I tossed in the idea that it would be limited to templates that are the same style, but have differing color schemes to maintain consistency and keep things from being too mix and match-ish. I like the idea of it being confined to a custom made epic template; it'd open up a lot of possibilities for those who love making them.
If anything, I can see it working for characters who have a multi-faceted personality or differing jobs/genres/etc., or those who'd like the option to color-code and design their pages for some pop, not just profiles with multiple characters.
