*This page is meant to be used as a template for standard wiki formatting, specifically for the creation of a character. Please follow the standards used here, but feel free to break from the format if necessary. Leave sections without information blank.*

**Character Name** is a character from the country of Nation Page Template. They are a person of a particular race, and have accomplished a certain number of things in their lifetime. They were born in the small hamlet of Exampleburg, but currently reside in Placehold, where they hold the position of duke. They speak Templatish fluently, however Examplese is their first language.

Users do not need to use the page title text, as a page title will automatically appear on the page. A page should have its name in the first sentence, in bold. This should be the only bold text used in the article. The introduction paragraph, or paragraphs, should also refrain from using any headings such as an "intro". A table of contents usually generates automatically from having headings, though it can be toggled manually in page settings.

The article, if it is long enough, should be separated by headers as seen above. Subheadings can be used as well; they do not need to be bolded or italicized.

The name of the page should refrain from using parentheses, special characters, overly long titles, or unnecessary descriptors. Make sure that the page title uses proper title case when creating a page.

## Early Life

The article, if it is long enough, should be separated by headers as seen above. Subheadings can be used as well; they do not need to be bolded or italicized.

Most characters have some kind of backstory, beginning with their birth (or otherwise creation, if they were not born naturally). It's suggested that your character should be a native of the first nation they reside in, or at least from somewhere on the world map. The character should speak the native language of the nation, tribe, or region as their first language, and can possibly learn other languages of other surrounding regions, or common languages of commerce or diplomacy, as they age and grow.

Of course, there can be exceptions to these rules with certain characters. Just please, keep in mind not to be too edgy with the backstory, and use proper English grammar and spelling. Utilize spellcheck if you are unsure.

## Story Arc

Eventually, if you desire to do some kind of roleplay or politics as a certain character, this character should ideally have a way that they became involved in leadership or whichever career they perform (or lack thereof). There is a lot of creative freedom one has here, and from this point on multiple headings can be made to organize each arc the character has, or otherwise divide up an article to prevent it from being disorganized.

### Subheading One

Subheadings can be used to further divide and organize the story of a character.

## Extra Tips and Pointers

Here are a few ways to make your character's page easy to read and look good.

* Use of proper grammar and spelling. Don't be afraid to check.
* Use the third person. Do not use "I", "we", "you", or anything of the sort, unless it is a direct quote.
* Read up on Wiki rules and guidelines, as to not violate any rules.
* Use links, but only for the first time a thing with a page is mentioned. Do not make links for pages that do not yet exist.
* Add images with captions. They can be sized manually.
* Feel free to copy and paste formatting from other articles; just be sure to replace all information that isn't code. Plagarism can lead to penalties, and nobody likes having their work copied without permission.
* Be as neutral as possible when discussing events. Do not use overly emotional language, or be biased; bias can add flavor for ingame books and canon texts, but not Wiki articles.
* Refrain from referencing real-life terms and meta information (languages, countries, architectural styles, Discord servers, etc.) unless the article is specifically referring to non-canon meta events.
* Use in-lore dates, not real-world ones.
* Do not leave sections blank to complete later; if it will be completed later, the headings can be added later too.
* If all else fails, look at some preexisting articles on our wiki, or even for real-world parallels on Wikipedia for inspiration and examples.
