This is a guide for creating character articles. Do not add characters that don't have a physical presence in the story! This means that if one of the characters mentions a name, don't instantly create a page with that name.
If certain sections get too large (such as the Gallery or Plot sections), then create a new page with the format Name/Section and add a link to it under that character's main article.
Page Name[]
- See also: Names
Use the character's full name or given name. If a character lacks a name, there are two options available:
- Related to a named character. Example: Pariya's mother
- Has a specific job that the character is well-known for. Example: The Carver
Use the one that makes the most sense for that character.
Template[]
Place the character infobox template first. Fill out the spaces provided. If a row can't be filled, put "Unknown", "N/A" (Not Applicable), or "TBA" (To Be Announced).

Appearance[]

Personality[]
- See also: Neutrality
Describe the character's various traits, both positive and negative.
Plot[]
Write out the characters role in the story from their perspective. See Writing for more information.
Relationships[]
Describe the various relationships the character has using the format below.
=== Family === '''[[Character Name]]:''' Description of relationship with that character. === Friends === '''[[Character Name]]:''' Description of relationship with that character. === Enemies === '''[[Character Name]]:''' Description of relationship with that character.
Gallery[]
Place all images that feature the character here.
Trivia[]
Write some interesting facts. This can include information given from official sources or mundane facts, such as likes and dislikes.
References[]
Place any citations here. See References for the code.
Categories[]
Required[]
Categories that have to be added.
Subjective Categories[]
These are categories that are used on a case by case basis.
Article Status[]
Categories that sort the article by completion.
- Category:Article stubs - This category is automatically added if you put the
{{stub}}template at the beginning of the article. Only add this if the article has nothing but a couple of sentences. This template can be replaced with the {{WIP}} template once sections and more information have been added. - Category:WIP - This category is automatically added if you put the
{{WIP}}template at the beginning of the article. Only add this if the article needs more information added regarding its subject. It can be removed when minor additions and edits (such as grammar fixes) are the only things needed.
Redirects[]
If the character has more than one spelling for their name, create a redirect(s) that uses that alternate spelling. For example, Amir Halgal has Amira Halgal.
If the character has a name but it is unlikely that the average reader will know it, create a redirect using the name or title that they would be more well known for. For example, Mina has Laila and Leily's mother.
