How-To Add a Character Guide

Hello fellow Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, and whatever other things go bump in the night. Thank you for choosing to participate in our new community for B. Dave Walters Patreon RP Server!

In this guide, I will show you how to create your very own Character Page on this Wiki that you will be able to edit to your heart's content. This guide will also serve as a good intro to when we expand this Wiki to include things such as Important Events, Notable Places, and more to come I am sure.

In the meantime, let's start with the basics... creating your character!

For a quick idea of how your Character Page should look, please check out my page Oliver "Ollie" Decker

Step 1 - Click the "ADD NEW PAGE" button on the top right of the Wiki



Step 2 - Your Page Title should be your Character's Name (First and Last would be ideal)

Step 3 - Then Click "Next"



Step 4 - Add an "Infobox" and select "Character Info"





Step 5 - Fill out the Infobox to the best of your knowledge using the Table below

Step 6 - Create 4 Sections on your page for Synopsis, Important Character Information, Important Relationships (Optional), Backstory (Optional)



Step 7 - Highlight your Sections and turn them into Headings (NOTE: you can highlight and press ctrl-2)



Step 8 - Fill out each section to the best of your abilities.
 * 1) Synopsis - Should only include a brief summary of your character and why they are in LA. This should not be more than 2-3 paragraphs in length.
 * 2) Important Character Information - Here you should bullet point key bits of information about your Character. This could also include a list of fun facts that Players and Storytellers alike can use in RP Sessions.
 * 3) Important Relationships - Bullet list of important PC's or NPC's that are directly important to your character. This does not need to include acquaintances, family friends, etc. (For that we have the amazing Relationships Map)
 * 4) Background - IF you have a background written about your character, and you would like to share it, this is where the MEAT of your character background should live. This is 100% Optional, but always makes for a good read :-)



Step 9 - When all is done, click the "Save Page" button on the top right.

Step 10 - In the "Summary" box, let us know that you are creating your Character Page and hit "Save Page"



Now that your Character Page is now done, we need to connect it to other pages with CATEGORIES!

Step 11 - Next to Categories at the bottom, click "Add Category" and add any relevant categories. See list below:



You should also include some other important information such as your Clan, Sect, and Species too!

Step 12 - Once all done, click "Save"

AND THAT"S ALL FOLKS!... well... if everything went according to plan. IF NOT! - no worries, please contact me (Quinn AKA Oliver) anytime if you require assistance, and I will be happy to help.
