</tabber>
----
==[[Powers and Techniques]]==
A list of the character's general abilities (Please add links to the "Powers and Abilities" pages, if it is possible).

|-|Standard=
{{#tag:Tabber|
{{!}}-{{!}}On Hand=

This section can be used to explain the reasons for the assigned power level of a certain character more in-depth, as well as how the powers and nature of the character fundamentally work. This is particularly useful for more high-tiered characters.
This section can be used to explain the reasons for the assigned power level of a certain character more in-depth, as well as how the powers and nature of the character fundamentally work. This is particularly useful for more high-tiered characters.


However, it is very important that you make sure that the text has good grammar/sentence structure, and is easy to understand.
==Miscellaneous Feats==
As there are many different kinds of feats within fiction, only the relevant feats should be noted in [[Attack Potency]], [[Durability]], [[Speed]], [[Lifting Strength]], [[Striking Strength]], etcetera. In this section a collection of overall feats the character manages should be listed, this gives further indexing for the impressive array of things a character has done. It should also be noted that any category is fine. Showing off a characters natural skills, such as cooking, acrobatics, intelligence, etcetera that's not a direct relevant feat on the statistics area above can also be listed here. It should look like the following (Note that this is just an example and you only need the relevant categories for the character in question, along with this you can add your own tabber for a category not listed here):
<tabber>
|-|Attack Potency=
 
|-|Durability=
 
|-|Lifting Strength=
 
|-|Striking Strength=
 
|-|Speed=
{{#tag:tabber|
{{!}}-{{!}}Travel Speed=
 
{{!}}-{{!}}Attack Speed=

*'''<nowiki>[[Character's Name in bold]]</nowiki>''' - [A link to the fight in question]
**'''Conditions:''' Conditions and context the character had or the opponent had.
**'''Location:''' The location of the fight.
**'''Note:''' Any extra context that needs to be added about the fight in question, normally a note saying if the character was holding back, if they would have realistically won, etcetera.

</tabber>

==Categories==
==Categories==
For character profiles, always insert the category "Characters", as well as one with the name of the related franchise here.


You should also always add the tier for the character. These go from "Tier 11" to "Tier 0", and also include "Unknown Tier".
For example, the most important categories in [[Son Goku]]'s page are "Characters", "Dragon Ball", and "Tier 6".

  • Serious: While being highly sociable, Bob is also very serious about his work, making sure to always get it done as early as possible, due to this he has multiple employee of the month trophies.

Latest Appearance: For when a character last appeared in a fictional work (If their latest appearance was in a non-canonical entry it should go latest canonical appearance first, then non-canonical appearance second).

Company: The company the character is owned by (Should be in left to right order where left is the original company that owns them and right being the current company that owns them, can also make it into a bullet point).

Creator: The original creator of the character, co-creators can be added too if wanted.

Intelligence based off one's years of experience, accomplishments they've made and overall statements in regards to their intelligence.

Sometimes referred too as "street smarts", this type of intelligence is how one uses their social interactions in day to day society to their advantage. Usually characters with extremely good charisma are good examples of a socially intelligent character.
