Worked with admin interface, cleaning up and adding functionality. There are still some strange behaviour that makes e.g. the presence of inlines to auto-create empty database objects for some strange reason. Inlines are turned off at the moment (so there is no convenient way to add attributes from the admin interface at this time). Creating players now work, but one needs to create all three components (User, Player, Character) in one go and tie them together. The User-admin form was changed to also support multi-word usernames (django default didn't allow spaces).
