Manual of Style:Characters

The guidelines here cover the manual of style and format of character articles. Please refrain from altering or adding to the format without consent of an admin.

If you have a suggestion regarding formatting, message an admin.

## Introduction

Above the following headers, provide a short and sweet introduction to the character, including their role to the story: main or side character, as well as information that may be included in their introduction in media. Refrain from unnecessary spoilers that would otherwise belong to the following headers:

#### Appearance

Include noticeable traits to their appearance such as: height, hair style/color/length, eye color, clothing, and other details.

#### Personality

Cover the character's personality. How they act and how it influences the way others see them.

#### History

Go over the character's backstory/past up that occurred prior to the start of the story/plot.

#### Plot

Go over the character's role in the plot that has played out since the start of the game. We follow the games's plot ONLY on the character's articles. Should the anime plot differ in any major way, another section will be created for its plot. Summarize each episode of the game, in detail, from the moment they debut onward towards the character's final appearance. Episodes should be in the third header style:

```
==='''Episode 1'''===
==='''Episode 2'''===
==='''Episode 3'''===
==='''Episode 4'''===
```

#### Equipment and Abilities

Cover a character's abilities and their fighting equipment here. Use headers for each and explain in detail under each section.

```
==Equipment and Abilities==
==='''Equipment'''===
==='''Abilities'''===

Ex:

==Equipment and Abilities==
==='''Weaponry'''===
*'''Scythe''': Describe the weapon here.
==='''Abilities'''===
*'''Intelligence''': Describe the ability here.

```

#### Relationships

Go over the character's relationships with certain characters. This header should be formatted in the following style:

```
==Relationships==
==='''[[Rachel Gardner]]'''===
```

#### Quotes

Quotes are for showcasing the character's personality and feelings based on a certain scenario, not just any random quote you find them say (unless it's a well-known, popular quote). Try to include a reference to where the quote came from. Here is the format to follow for a quote:

```
'''(To ___)''' ''"Quote goes here"''<br>
— [[Character Name]]}}
```

#### Trivia

This section is for relevant proven facts that are not addressed on a regular basis. If it is common knowledge and constantly displayed, refrain from adding it to the trivia section. If possible, try to include a reference.

#### References

This is the last header to add on an article. You need not add anything under it, except this template:

```
{{Reflist|2}}
```

Lastly, spaced twice under the references header is the character navigation template:

```
{{Navigation/Characters}}
```

## Gallery

Galleries are to contain sections for the following categories that images would fall under: Game, Anime, Manga, and Other. The Anime section is further broken down into: Opening Theme, Ending Theme, sections for each episode that they appear in, and Misc. *(EX: If a character does not appear in a certain episode, omit that section from the gallery.)*

If an image does not apply as an image from the game, manga, or anime, but rather some other form of media, it falls under **Other**. *(EX: CD cover, fanbook, misc.)*

Use the following code when setting up a gallery:

```
{{Header|#aa19b7|Game}}
<gallery widths="150" position="center" spacing="small">

</gallery>

{{Header|#aa19b7|Anime}}
{{Title2|#aa19b7|Opening Theme}}
<gallery widths="150" position="center" spacing="small">

</gallery>

{{Title2|#aa19b7|Ending Theme}}
<gallery widths="150" position="center" spacing="small">
