Character Rules

A large part of this wiki is the creation and use of original characters. For those of you new to the wiki, you may be wondering our policies about characters, what information should be included in the page, et cetera.

Step 1: Research.
Pick a kingdom you want your character to live in. The list of kingdoms is in Map of the World. Read the page on that kingdom. The page includes details about cities, laws, and culture.

Step 2: Create the page.
To the right of the page count, up at the very top of the wiki, there's an add new page button. Title the page with your character's title (If royalty) and name. A page with no info will be safe for a week. This includes putting WIP, random gibberish, or just the headings.

Step 3: Add information
While you don't strictly have to make your character's page follow a format, we recommend a sentence or two of basic info about the character, a heading for appearance, a heading for personality, and a heading for trivia. In your introductory sentences, include where the character lives, any relatives, and social class. (See Storyline for more info on social classes)

Step 4: Add categories!
All characters must be in the category characters. Additionally, you should add categories for the character's nationality (Ex: Alusian), the character's social class (Ex: Witch), and Your Username's Characters. A page with no categories is safe for two weeks.

What to use your characters for?
You can send letters to other characters in the comments section of the other characters page, and every so often, active users will receive a random event from Chalcid. These events can good or bad.
