    I am using Fictive with the wp-tiles plugin. I want to create different
   page templates so that I can set up wp filters on post queries eg. so on one 
   page I get everyone whose birthday is today and then on another page I get everyone
   in a certain category. For the birthday I have set up a taxonomy on month/day
   and added a function to functions.php to handle the date check but I need to 
   call it from a page template. How do I set up a template up for fictive (is it
   the content.php that I need to copy and rename as a template ?)

 * By page templates, do you mean in the WordPress custom page template sense?

 * If so, you’ll need to make sure you set it up using the proper comment tags at
   the top, as you’ll see in the Codex.
 * In terms of which existing template file to use as a base, it probably depends
   on what existing template you want to base your new one. For example, if you 
   want to be mostly like the static page template but with some additions, you 
   could copy the content-page.php file and and use that as a base.
