Character Page Layout

When creating a new page for an accepted character, it is important to follow a layout similar to the rest of the fandom. Having a uniform page layout makes it easier for members to find information, and is overall visually pleasing.

## General Information

### Name

Put the full name of your character here, or the original name of your character. For example, Evil Morty's real name is Morty Smith.

### Friends

This one isn't really used, but put characters who you think your character would interact with often here.

### Roles[1]

This is where you put the Character’s roles (See the page Character Roles)

### Song

Put a song that you think fits your character's personality or origin.

## Physical Appearance

### Hair

Description of hair style and color here.

### Eye Color

Put eye color here, or a description of the eye if it's abnormal.

## Character

This is a short synopsis of the character. It includes where the character is from, if they're an AU, and a 1-2 sentence summary of how they're different from their original counterpart. Here's an example from Bipper's page:

*Bipper is Dipper Pines from the show Gravity Falls, possessed by the psychotic dream demon, Bill Cipher.*

*He’s the AU version of what would've happened to Dipper if Mabel hadn't managed to get Bill out of Dipper's body as she did in ”Sock Opera," the first and only time Bill possessed Dipper.*

## Backstory

A backstory is a greater synopsis of the character's origin. If they're from an AU, recount how they arrived at the critical point of change. Then explain the experience of the character's tragedy. Include the name of the show, movie, or comic. If the bad ending occurs in an episode of a show, give the name an/or number of the show. Something to note is that while this section is labelled "Backstory," we *actually* mean origin. Explained on the main page, the origin of the character is their creation, and is the end of their canon timeline.

## Appearance

This is a physical description of the character. Include what clothes they wear, any scars or mutations they have, and how they often appear in fan art. Here's an example from Evil Morty's page:

*Evil Morty has two main wardrobes:*

* *The classic Morty outift: Most Mortys wear a plain outfit of a pure yellow T-shirt, with blue jeans. Evil Morty is often depicted in this, with the addition of a mind-controlling eyepatch.*
* *President Morty: Evil Morty in formal attire, consisting of a black button-up shirt with a red tie, tucked into gray slacks and a belt. He is never shown with an eyepatch.*

## Personality

This one is simple. Describe how they behave on their own, and how they interact with other characters. Here's an example from Mother Widow's page:

*Despite having been through traumatic experiences with the Other Mother, and having been transformed by her life force, Mother Widow still has the personality of Coraline Jones. She’s adventurous, imaginative, bold, and gets bored easily with the real world.*

*She often likes to explore new places, but is often disappointed when they don’t lead anywhere exciting.*

*She’s eager to meet new people, often fascinated with individual personalities. This trait could have been influenced by the Other Mother’s life force.*

## Abilities

Write all of your character’s abilities, weaknesses, and powers here. Bullet points are useful for separating these.

## Behind the Scenes

This is a more extensive version of when you explained what episode or show the character is from. Explain what the show, comic, or movie is, how someone can consume the original content of the art (legally), and link to that website or app. Here's an example from Beast Wirt's page:

*As of now, the original creator of the Beast Wirt AU Concept is unknown, however, it's largely pressumed to have been made sometime before 2016, but after 2014, and signs show that it's most likely made in Tumblr.*

*Over The Garden Wall is a Cartoon Network Miniseries, with 10 Chapters total, and was made by Patrick McHale. The episode Beast Wirt's AU branches off from is "Chapter 10: The Unknown", Directed by Nate Cash, Written by Natasha Allegri, Jim Campbell, and Tom Herpich, The Storyboards were also made by Jim Campbell.*

*If you want to watch Over The Garden Wall in its entirety, or support its creators, then there are a few options (Disclaimer, some of these options may be region locked depending on where you live):*

* *HBO Max*
* *Prime Video*
* *Hulu*
* *YouTube (Episode 1 only)*

*Physical releases:*

* *Blu-ray/DVD Set*

## Trivia

Just general trivial facts about the character. Here's an example from Ice Finn's page:

* *Ice Prince Finn is one of the main three Bad End Friends, alongside Bipper and Beast Wirt.*
* *Ice Finn's lack of an organic right arm is reminiscent of his parallel self. although through the course of the series the original Finn regrows his arm, gains a mechanical Arm, Before finally losing the artificial limb as well.*

## Transformation

Just a video of the character's transformation. Contact **Typical ̶S̶T̶Art** once you have found a video. Upload the video once it has been approved, and put it in this section of your page.
