Manual of Style:Characters

The guidelines here cover the manual of style and format of character articles. Please refrain from altering or adding to the format without consent of an admin.

Since this wiki uses tabs on our character articles, this article will show you what belongs under each tab, as well as how to format each section.

If you have a suggestion regarding formatting, message an admin. If you think something should be added to a certain article, but you're not completely sure, start a discussion on the article.

## Overview

This is the main tab on the article and covers the basic and most relevant information.

Above the following headers, provide a short and sweet introduction to the character, including their role to the story: main or side character, as well as information that may be included in their introduction in media. Refrain from unnecessary spoilers that would otherwise belong to the following headers.

### Appearance

Include noticeable traits to their appearance such as: height, hair style/color/length, eye color, clothing, and other details. If possible, provide an image of their full profile, preferably a character design chart or an image with a blank background.

If you are unsure of whether an image you have will qualify for this guideline, contact an admin and run it by them first. Also, if a character has an appearance trait that is not usually noticeable, you can add an image that shows it (ex: Ninomae’s ear piercings). Be sure that the images are formatted using the following code, two spaces above the appearance description:

```
Example:

<gallery orientation="square" spacing="small" position="center" captionalign="center">
Toki hair up.png|Ninomae with hair up
Toki Work Uniform.png|Ninomae in his work uniform
</gallery>

```

### Personality

Cover the character's personality. How they act and how it influences the way others see them.

### Background

Go over the character's backstory/past up that occurred prior to the start of the story/plot.

### Trivia

This section is for relevant proven facts that are not addressed on a regular basis. If it is common knowledge and constantly displayed, refrain from adding it to the trivia section.

### Relationships

Go over the character's relationships with certain characters. This header should be formatted in the following style:

***TBA***

```

```

### Quotes

Quotes are for showcasing the character's personality and feelings based on a certain scenario, not just any random quote you find them say. Try to include a reference to where the quote came from. Here is the format to follow for a quote:

```
'''(To ___)''' ''"Quote goes here"''<br>— Insert Chapter}}
```

Following after the reference you may add a short sentence about the meaning behind the quote, to make it more clear.

## Plot

Go over the character's role in the plot that has played out since the start of the series. We follow the manga's plot. Summarize, in detail, from the moment they debut onward towards the character's latest appearance.

## Gallery

Galleries are to contain sections for the following categories that images would fall under: Appearance, Chapter Covers, Volume Covers, Illustrations.

* If you are uploading a scene from the manga, only use **official** sources, not fan translations.

Use the following code when setting up a gallery:

```
<!--Appearance-->
Image.png{{!}}Last Name - Style, i.e. manga portrait
}}
<!--Chapter Covers-->
image.jpeg{{!}}Last Name - Chapter (Japanese)/(English)

}}
<!--Volume Covers-->
image.jpg{{!}}Last Name - Volume (Japanese)/(English)

}}
<!--Illustrations-->
image.png{{!}}Last Name - Appropriate title

}}
