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.

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 talk page on the article.

Introduction
Not an actual header on the article, but content that goes a space below the infobox. This content covers the basic and most relevant information of a character. 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 solid background.

If you are unsure of whether an image you have will qualify for this guideline, contact a member of our staff 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: tattoos, scars). Be sure that the images are formatted using the following code, two spaces above the appearance description:

Example:

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

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

Plot
Go over the character's role in the plot that has played out since the beginning. We follow the visual novel's plot. Summarize each route, in detail, from the moment they debut onward towards the character's final appearance.

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:

Describe the relationship between the characters.

Describe the relationship between the characters.

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:

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

Gallery
If an image does not apply as an image taken directly from the visual novel, but rather some other form of media, it falls under Other. (EX: CD cover, fanbook, misc.)

Use the following code when setting up a gallery:
