Background

Here you can add info about the character. It is very important that you make sure that the text has good grammar and sentence structure, and is easy to understand.

General Information

Key: For characters who have transformation stages/power-ups or who become stronger through certain points of the story, insert those transformations/power-ups/timelines here in bold.

Name: The character's true name, and/or common name/epithets

Origin: The name of the fiction which the character is from, with a link to the Verse page

Sex: Male, female or sexless

Age: Character's age

Classification: Character's various titles and personal identifications they classify as.

Species: Character's class.

Occupation: Character's occupation.

Status: The existing status of the character (Alive, Dead, Other, Unknown).

Alignment: Characters who fall under a specific alignment written here.

Codex Statistics

Tier: Current Tier of the character (in bold).

Dimensionality: The spatial and temporal dimensions the character resides on or encompasses. For characters that encompass temporal dimensions, their dimensionality should be expressed as (spatial dimensions + temporal dimensions)-D. (in bold)

Attack Potency: The character's attack power or destructive capacity (in bold; add any explanations using brackets, not in bold).

Durability: The amount of attack power the character can withstand before being overwhelmed (in bold).

Striking Strength: The attack power of the character's physical attacks/blows (in bold).

Lifting Strength: The weight the character can lift/move, usually expressed in tons. However it is optional since lifting strength generally doesn't matter in most fights (in bold).

Travel Speed: How fast the character can move. (in bold)

Combat Speed: How fast the character goes in combat. (in bold)

Reaction Speed: How fast the character can react. (in bold)

Stamina: Self-explanatory (in bold)

Range: The distance the character's attacks/abilities can cover. (in bold)

Intelligence: The level of intelligence a character has, while normally their intelligence applies to all forms of subjects, there's many cases in fiction where this isn't the case, in these cases they can have their intelligence split into the following:

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.

Intelligence based off scientific achievements they've made.

Mainly relevant for characters in strategy based, the intelligence of one's strategies. This can apply to combat, board games, gaming, or how they apply their strategies to general life activities.

Similar to strategic intelligence, though this mainly focuses on their combat prowess.

Different types of intelligence levels that don't apply to the previous tabbers can be made their own unique ones. Some other forms of intelligence are explained on the Intelligence page.


Powers and Techniques

A list of the character's general abilities (Please add links to the "Powers and Abilities" pages, if it is possible).


Equipment

This is in regards to the type of equipment a character carries. There's varying levels of equipment which give the following:

Equipment the character usually carries on their person.

Equipment the character normally uses, this and on hand should realistically only be separated in cases where one has equipment they normally use not on their person.

Equipment that the character never really uses and isn't something they're able to use normally.

Equipment that a character can use or has used that can only be used once.

Equipment the character no longer has.


Notable Techniques

A list of some abilities the character generally uses.


Other

Standard Tactics: The usual behavior exhibited by a character during battles. For example, which actions a character will first perform when fighting an unknown opponent or which abilities they will use frequently, rarely, or never. If the character's behavior is too inconsistent to identify, they fall under "wildcard".

Weaknesses: Self-explanatory

Note: Self-explanatory

Explanations

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.

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):

Trivia

An optional addition where you can add numerous facts about a character.

Gallery

Put other pictures of the character here.

Battle Records

Put the character's official canon fights here.

It should be written in the following way

  • [[Character's Name in bold]] - [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.

Plot important fights the character has won.

Other fights the character has won.

Plot important fights the character has lost.

Other fights the character has lost.

Plot important fights the character has had a draw in.

Other fights the character has had a draw in.

For really rare cases where there is no confirmed note for who won, lost, or if there was a draw for a fight. These are normally for fights that have no canon mention of what happened and who won.

References

Any feats listed that gives a quote from a novel or episode/manga chapter number should go in this section with a "<References/> or "{{scroll box|content={{reflist|2}}}}

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".

Here is a more clean format so you do not need to delete all of the explanations:
