Warriors Clans Diversity:Characters/Page Requirements

Mention the name of your character and a brief description of them. This may be simply appearance but may also include personality adjectives or important historical notes (i.e Divestar being the third SplashClan leader and succeeding Flickerstar). Particular character relations like a mate should also be mentioned. While this paragraph is optional, it is preferred. A how-to can also be found on the Template:Character page, with information on how to do specific infobox sections and more.

## Description

### Appearance

A relatively in-depth description of their appearance, please don't just state their fur and eye colour. For Silver Grade, a minimum of **1** paragraph is need. Gold Grade requires a minimum of **2**.
### Character

Detailed description of any non-apparent traits for the character, such as: personality, behavioural quirks, likes/dislikes, assigned sex and gender identity, sexual and romantic orientations, and more.  For Silver Grade, a minimum of **2** paragraphs is needed. Gold Grade requires a minimum of **3**.
### Abilities

Overview of skills and other abilities, this can be as detailed as you like but please not just "good at hunting, bad at fighting". You can present it as paragraphs or bulletpoints for organisation, though the bulletpoints should be fairly detailed (not just a skill per bulletpoint with no description). Both strengths and weaknesses as well as fairly neutral abilities should be assessed here. . For Silver Grade, a minimum of **1** paragraph or seven bulletpoints is needed. Gold Grade requires a minimum of **2** paragraphs or 13 bullet points.
## Biography

**These sections should be kept relatively up to date.**
The length of each cat's biography will be determined by which character type they fall into. A **minor character** only needs a few basic details, in comparison to a **major character** who, as they are roleplayed often, would have a more comprehensive biography. Thirdly, the **mentioned character** category applies to characters who are only name-dropped or referred to and are never seen in roleplay. If they are eventually seen in roleplay, they can be recategorised as a minor character - categories can be changed for just this reason.
So essentially, put in as much work as you feel able to and don't feel the need to write a massive biography for characters who are only name-dropped once or some such, but please do give some insight into your main characters.
### Childhood

Life details from birth to the end of their apprenticeship.
### Adulthood

Life details from the end of apprenticeship to death. If the cat becomes a leader, most life details still go in adulthood with specific leadership details appearing in the leadership category.
### Afterlife

Omit if character is living. This would include any appearances the character makes at medicine cat gatherings, in dreams of others, continued afterlife interaction with living cats, appearance at ceremonies for nine lives and more.
### Leadership

Details about your character's leadership. Omit, of course, if your character is not in a leadership role. This would include things such as prophecies or warnings received, a brief overview of their nine lives and how they lost any (who gave the life and what it's for is in the Trivia section). As alt-faction cats do not receive nine lives in the same way as Clan cats, state which of their ancestors - appeared to bless them (can be with a specific gift, could be an overall blessing) and what the vision they received with their new life was. Significant contributions to the faction system (e.g an addition to the warrior code) would also be added here in stead of the adulthood category.
## Lineage

Character's complete lineage. **This does not include their partner's family.** but may include extended family such as step-parents, half-siblings and more.
## Relationships

### Family

Relationship with immediate family - if the cat is related but they do not have much of a familial relationship (i.e an unknown cousin or step-sibling), they would likely be categorised under friends, rivals, peers or other.
### Other

Notable relationships that don't fit in any of the above categories, such as mentors or surrogate family roles.
## Quotes

Quotes from the character's roleplay time, particularly those that give insight into their personality and manner of speech. Not necessary but would be great.
## Trivia

Trivial facts that don't fit in any of the above sections. If they are a leader, you can use the template {{Nine Lives}} to write up their nine lives, who gave them and what they were for.
## Images

Any images of your cat. Please name these appropriately, e.g 'Firestorm.png' or 'Swallowheart life.png', etc.
### Life

Any photographic images of your character
### Other Art and Colouring

Any other images of your character, could be coloured on a base, original art or anything.
