Gswiki:Style guide/Storyline NPCs

The following format should be used for Storyline NPC pages:

Page name: The name can be the full name of the non-player character, please create a redirect to the page with the first name only if the full name is used. Insert #REDIRECT [[Name]] on the new page.

Use the Storynpcbox template to insert an info box on the right.

Copy/paste code:

{{storynpcbox
|storyline = <!-- add storyline2, storyline3, and storyline4 fields, as appropriate -->
|gender = 
|race = 
|life = <!-- Is the NPC dead or alive? -->
|hometown = 
|relationships = 
|alias = 
|affiliation = }}

If the NPC is part of multiple storylines, add storyline2, storyline3, and storyline4 fields, as appropriate. If there are more than 4 storylines, this template will need to be revised to add more fields. If there are more than 4 storylines, the template will need to be revised to add more fields.

Inserting |include=no will remove the NPC from storyline categories. This is helpful when a category does not exist.

Introduction

This should go immediately below the Storynpcbox template and should not have any headers. Introduce the character, storyline s/he was active in, and other basic information.

Below the introduction, either header 2 or header 3 can be used, but header 3 looks better on shorter pages.

Appearance

Use the <pre{{log3}}> tag to easily add the appearance of the character.

Example:

You see Aralyte Halanori Faendryl the Palestra Blade.
She appears to be a Faendryl.
She is average height and appears to be of full age. She has narrow feystone-hued eyes and dark skin. She has a bald head. She has a slender face, an aquiline nose and sharply pointed ears. Blood red sigils are tattooed just above her eyes.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a brilliant red soulstone suspended by a thick leather cord, a cracked yellow bone necklace, a long flowing grey gossamer cloak fastened by a small scarlet triskelion, an oiled grey leather scabbard, a suit of fitted black body-leather, a pair of slim eahnor-set bracers, a series of fiery orange rings, a wide eahnor-studded leather belt, a skull-beaded black alchemy bag, a tooled black leather pouch, some sleek grey silk pants, a thin black leather ankle-sheath, and some crisp black leather boots.
