How to Create a Character Page

*Created by Silverykittencat and Hawkblossom45*

**Stuck? You're looking at the fix. If you are unsure on how to make a character page, here's all the info you could need.**

## How To Start

**How do you even make a page in the first place?** Here is a short list on how to do it:

1. First, scroll all the way up and look at the small green panel beside the [Number] Pages.
2. Next, hover over the far left box, with the small icon that looks like a dog-eared paper. When you hover your cursor over it, it reads *Add new page*. Click on that.
3. Then, you will be located to a new window called *Create a new article*. In the top rectangular box, write your page title. Then you want to choose your page layout. Select Blank page. After that, click the thin green *Next* button on the bottom.
4. Finally, write all your character's information in the blank article. Then, on the far left infobox, click publish!

## Required Headings

**Headings signify a new section of info on a cat's page.** The required headings for a page (with the only exception being cats without roleplayers' pages and pages that have been created before this rule) are Info, Description, and Personality (although those may go under one single heading: Description, with two sub-heading 1s: Physical [the cat's appearance] and Personality [the cat's personality]).

**What to put under each heading?**

### Info

Here, you'd put the cat's Clan, known kin, apprentice, mentor, mate, etc, as well as rank and, if needed, cause of death.

#### An Example

*Mistystar is the current leader of of WillowClan. She was formerly mates with a melanistic bengal tom named Nightsky, who, after having three kits, Riverstone, Stonepaw, and Aspenpaw, with Mistystar, died from an unknown cause.*

*She has trained five apprentices. She trained Firepaw, Dawnbelly, Riverstone, and Rainsplash before they became warriors. Now the chocolate point she-cat trains Aspenpaw; Mistystar trained Scorchpaw before he left with his best friends, Flamepaw and Stormpaw, to form The DarkMasters.*

### Description

Here, you must put the cat's physical demeanor. Eye color, pelt color, size/height, markings, special conditions/disabilities (if any), and other things.

#### An Example

*Mistystar is a light mocha brown she-cat. Her elegant build is framed by a thin, pointed face, with darker brown shading making her dazzling aqua eyes, from which she gets her name, really pop. A white flash in her chest is the only lighter marking on her hazel, sleek-furred pelt, her legs and tail being a darker shade.*

### Personality

Under the "Personality" heading, you'd put exactly that: the OC's character traits.

#### An Example

*A wise leader, Mistystar is regal and loyal, but also very kind, with a discreet since of duty. She's not the type to push aside help just for her pride and ego, though. The friendly she-cat forms bonds easily, and has many lasting friends. She does have a tendency to worry a lot, though.*

## Optional Headings

**Optional headings are sections of Info that are not required; you may make them, or not, at your leisure.** Some headings are Gallery, Quotes, Trivia, Acknowledgements (usually added by the admins; you may ignore that), Family & Relationships, Kin, Backstory (or History), Roleplay, and Theme Song.

### Gallery

Here, you might put art, charart, different/alternate pictures, or real-life version of the warrior cat's name (e.g., for my OC Ember I might put some glowing embers).

### Quotes

Here you'd put notable quotes, or thoughts, that your OC said or had.

### Trivia

Here you could put fun facts or predictions about the OC.

### Acknowledgements

This section is handled by the staff; usually credits to art creators or HTML coders helping with the page.

### Family & Relationships

Here you could put the cat's family members and the OC's relationship to them and how they feel about them; friends and enemies go here too.

### Kin

Here you could put all the cat's known kin/family.

### Backstory

Also known as History, this section is for the cat's backstory and origins.

### Roleplay

Here you could catalogue the OC's adventures in the roleplay.

### Theme Song

Here you could put the cat's theme song (it's usually a lyrical song based off the cat's backstory or personality; talk to Hawkblossom45 for ideas!).
