WormRP:Character Creation Template

From WormRP
Jump to navigation Jump to search

To create a character, copy the below code into a new page under your character's name. Go under their cape name if they have one, real name otherwise. For example:

  • Charlotte Schmidt aka Skullfucker would go under "Skullfucker".
  • Hentai the case-53 would go under "Hentai".
  • Veronika Mayer, director of the PRT, would go under "Veronika Mayer".

Anyway, paste the below code into the page, and edit as needed. The bits within the angle brackets (<!-- these bois -->) are comments, and will not be displayed. Most of it is pretty self-explanatory, if you get in trouble hop on the Discord and ask, or feel free to check the source for completed capes (for example Persephone) to see how they did it.

The section where these words are is the "Public Information" section, along with the "Appearance" section below. Only put information here that the average member of the public would know about your character. That way, someone looking to avoid accidental metagaming can just look ONLY at those sections, to get an idea of your character.

Basically, it's just a little summary of them, and of what we know publicly. Don't be too worried if there's not a lot here! Once they've been around for awhile, it may help to create a little timeline sorta thing using a bulleted list.

== Character Sheet ==
=== Appearance ===
[[File:Filename.png|thumb|left|Image caption here, blah blah blah]]

Put your character description here. Above is an example of how to do an inline image, delete if not needed.

=== Mentality ===

self-explanatory.

=== Equipment and Resources ===

What do they have at their disposal? Things from liquid assets down to contacts and other resources. Don't need to get too inane here.

=== Tinkertech ===

If you're not a tinker, just delete this entire section. Include a heading for each piece of tinkertech!

=== Skills and Specializations ===

Self-explanatory.

=== Power ===

Put your power info here. Also include if they are a single/1.5/double/second trigger, coven cape, etc. For the most part this will be a copy-paste from your reddit sheet.
