Character Notes

Character notes use frontmatter as the structured source of truth, then present the useful parts in the body:

  • Header image, portrait, display name, race/subrace, class/spec, and faction are shown in the visual header.
  • The Character Sheet callout shows identity and vital data that is not already repeated elsewhere.
  • Relationships, Affiliations, Timeline, Hooks, and Writings remain normal Markdown body sections.

When changing a character’s Header Background, update the frontmatter first, then run:

Conventions

  • Current faction belongs in Faction.
  • All memberships, former loyalties, houses, orders, and political ties belong in Affiliations.
  • Race means species or fantasy race. Subrace covers origin, ethnicity, ancestry, or cultural variant. Use N/A when no subrace applies.
  • Undead characters should have Condition: Undead; death knights are undead.
  • Use city/capital header images when a race or subrace has a clear capital. Use shared headers where the people share a homeland, such as the Dracthyr.
