Character Template and Wiki Code Generator

This form helps you write a character biography for the Star Army Roleplay. It contains all the fields in the standard biography template and will automatically generate a formatted version in wiki code. The links in each section will direct you to articles containing information relevant to the field(s) you are filling in.

WARNING: Do not close this page until you have successfully saved your character biography on the wiki. This form is not part of the wiki; you need to manually copy the code and then paste it into your new wiki page. To create your page on the wiki, go the List of Notable Characters, follow the link to your faction, and then click "Edit this page" and add a link to your your character by linking to [[character:CHARACTER NAME]]. Then save the page and then click the (red) link you just made. It'll take you to wiki page that says "This page hasn't been created" yet. Click "Create this page." This blank edit screen is where you will paste your character biography code that this template will give you. Don't forget to save! Note that you must be logged in the wiki to create and edit pages.
