Mage Creation

## What is a Mage?

A mage is another word, in this wiki, for a character. In this universe, every character is a mage, whether female or male. Mages are like our universe's humans, except they wield supernatural abilities. Their species is know as *speciālis-sapiens.*

## How To Create a Mage

Creating a mage is fairly easy, and if you're familiar to Wikia, this shouldn't be too hard for you.

The first step is to find the "Create a Page" button, which can be found in the drop down labeled Contribute that's in the top right corner. Click the drop down, and select the option that says "Create a Page", from then on, it should give you a small window asking for a name of your page, and once you filled that out and clicked "Create" you can continue to the next step.

The second step, is to figure out what you want to put on this space. You can use a basic layout we have here, or a template. It is advised to get down the mage's personality and appearance, so that you can start roleplaying with that character, but you have a basic layout for you to go off of when you're acting through this character.

The third step, is to find a model. Most users find a model before they make the character, but you do not have to. Once you've found a model, you no longer have to worry about the appearance of your character, only the rest that needs to be filled out.

The fourth step, is to *finish*the character. We don't want you to continuously be roleplaying with an unfinished character who's page hasn't been touched in months. To keep it convenient, we have a deadline for your character. They must be finished by the end of their third week of existence on the wiki. If they are not finished by then, they will be declared unfinished, and will have the "Unfinished" category added to it. If you have the unfinished category, that character will be banned from roleplaying, and if you continue to roleplay with them regardless, you will receive punishment.

## Layouts

There are several *text*layouts you can use to organize your character. But be aware, you can also use templates, these are not the only options.

As a requirement, your character must have a personality, history, model, and filled out basic information. If your character is seen without this, you will be asked to change it, and if you are asked too many times, the character will be deleted.

### Other Things to Add

Those are just examples of some of the layouts you can use. There are tons more, and you can customize it to your liking as long as it has the basic requirements.

You can add things like family members, friends, habits, flaws, relationships, galleries, etc. The list is endless. There is no telling of what you could add to make your character more diverse and realistic. But keep those four requirements in mind everytime you're making a character.

## Templates

Templates are like text layouts, but they are extremely tailored to that specfic user's liking. The background may be different, there may be borders, tabbers, and scroll boxes. Templates are more of a way of passive way of giving us more about the character. The design tells a story of it's own.

We only have one rule when it comes to templates:

You must have permission.

You can of course create your own template, but if you're using someone elses, or borrowed one for a different wiki, first ask the person who owns it, and credit them.

We do not want copyright to be one of our issues here at the wiki.
