Character Creation

To begin creating a role-play character for this community, this page will serve as an essential guide to this purpose. We will begin with first creating a role-play character's page, then onto the specifics of making said character, and lastly what will be done so that they can be approved.

## Creating Your Character

The first step for creating a character begins with our Discord server. There, just below the Welcome section, there is another section called Requests. The main concern of creating a character is with the #character-requests channel. Once you have an idea of what your character will be, you can send in a request using the Support System bot. After doing so, a member of staff will respond to the request where you can describe the character you are wanting to create. After reviewing over it, should everything be fine, then the request will be approved by that member of staff. At which point, you will be able to create that character here on the wiki.

### Creating Your Wiki Page

In order to create your character's page, please follow the guideline provided below.

1. Go to the Character Template page, and copy the coding provided.
2. In the upper right corner of the screen, press the **⁝** button.
3. Using the dropdown menu that appears, select the 'Add new page' option and insert your character's name into the proceeding prompt.
4. In the editor, switch from the 👁️ **Visual Editor** in the upper right corner to the **[[]] Source Editor**.
5. Using the code from before, paste it into the editor.

From here, you can begin filling out the specifics of your character. If at any point you wish to stop before finishing, simply save the page. Once you want to get back to it, you only need to click the ✏️ **Edit** button on the upper-right side of the screen.

### Developing Your Character

Most of the following will be regarded as guidelines, and not necessarily rules (unless said so), for character creation. To start, we will begin with the most rudimentary aspects of a character which is bundled altogether in what we call an infobox. This infobox is the square on the right side of the page which gives all immediate information about your character. Including biometrics, some personal details, family, accessories; etc. To edit this, all one needs to do is double-click the box which will open up a list of all the parameters it holds. From here, you can input any information you see fit to put into the infobox.

If you would like to put an image of your character into the infobox, look to the navigation at the top of the page and mouse over the 📖 **Explore** tab. After doing so, go to Images and upload your character's profile there. Then, you can place the file name of the picture (I.E: Thisismycharacter.jpg) in the Image parameter of the infobox.

#### The Essence of Your Character

Now, onto the details of your character; their history, personality, and appearance. While this community does not expect you to write out every single detail concerning your character, we do expect at least the bare minimum. Explanations as to why they act the way they do, the events that led them to their current point in life, and so on. Although exceptions can always be made, such as when hiding potential story hooks from fellow community members (which appropriate staff should be made aware of to help maximize the development from such things).

#### Your Character's Power Score

To end things, we will discuss the Power Score. The Power Score is a representation of some of the most basic traits that your character possesses. Each of the 6 attributes functioning as a gauge of your character's general power. The full details of the Power Score, and how it will affect your character, can be found on the page linked before. What you should know for the creation of your character is that all new characters start with exactly **84 points**. These can be divided evenly between the 6 attributes that exist, or in other ways. Generally, you shouldn't have any outliers, unless you plan on role-playing the weaknesses that will come with it.

## Character Approval

After finishing all relevant parts of your character, they will then need to be approved for use in role-play. To do so, head to the #approval channel in the Requests section. Simply paste the character's page link into the channel, at which point it will be reviewed by a member of staff before either being approved or denied based on the guidelines of the role-play and its quality.
