**Full Name** of the character, the most used and official one. For Nephilim, the True Name should be used. Then write a brief summary or introduction of the character. Extend with a second paragraph if necessary.

Take note of the following:

* The articles must be in-universe, meaning the article should be written as if you are an observer within the world. Events should be listed according to order of the occurrence of events instead of according to order of chapters. Particularly, do not include:
	+ actor's name (except in the infobox and/or Trivia section)
	+ chapter titles during which events occurred (except in referencing and the Appearances section); e.g. "In *this chapter*, it was revealed that this character was stupid."
	+ lines like "this character is the protagonist of so and so series"
* Should be written in a neutral/objective and third person point of view.
* Content should be summarized; details should be written on the episode articles or the unabridged subpage (if there is one). Information about other characters should also either be summarized or excluded entirely, especially if the character is not or very minimally involved.
* Include only the necessary subheadings.
* Do not add empty headings/sections with no intention of immediately filling it yourself; waiting for others to do it for you may prove fruitless and would leave the section empty for a long period of time, thus only disrupting the article.
* If a character is relatively minor, only appears very briefly in one or two books, and has very limited information available that is insufficient, omit the headings entirely and simply place them under the "Biography" (if a summary of most or the whole of the character's life is covered) or "History" heading.
* See [on Freeform Wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style] for more info.

## Biography

A general overview, detailing or summary of a person's life. Use History as heading if brief. If a character is relatively minor, only appearing very briefly in one or two books, and information is very limited, exclude the subheadings altogether.

#### Appropriate headings

Headings for these sections will be entitled with brief descriptions or titles, particularly highlights or milestones in the characters' life, consistent for similar characters in a particular series.

Some examples:

* Early life/History/Before Canon - brief history of the character and summary of the events revolving around the character prior to the beginning of the series.
* Later life - summarization of the character's life after or in the later parts of the series. Could include events from epilogues and those detailed by the author after the release of the final book.
* Post-mortem / Legacy, etc.
* If the character was involved in the following plots:
	+ The Uprising
	+ Valentine's return
	+ etc...
