Intelligence: The level of intelligence a faction 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.
Knowledge: The level of acquired knowledge a faction has, unlike intelligence which is capacity to learn, knowledge is how much the character knows overall. These are some of the following categories knowledge can be split into as it's an all-encompassing subject:
Knowledge based off one's years of experience, accomplishments they've made and overall amount of acquired knowledge.
Sometimes referred too as "street smarts", this type of knowledge is how one has acquired knowledge from social interactions. Usually characters with extremely good charisma are good examples of a socially knowledgeable character.
Knowledge based off scientific information they've acquired and learned.
Mainly relevant for characters in strategy based, this showcases how much knowledge they've acquired from strategic based training. 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 knowledge that don't apply to the previous tabbers can be made their own unique ones. Knowledge is extremely vast so it can apply to almost anyhting.

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
Gallery
Put other pictures of the character here.
Battle Records
Put the faction'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.

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

For example, the most important categories in Son Goku's page are "Characters", "Dragon Ball", and "Tier 3".
