This template allows you to describe the many attributes of a character. The {{{world}}} and {{{books}}} parameters are required The other parameters are optional and can be described in groups:

Location
{{{ethnicity}}} or {{{nation}}} or {{{nationality}}} can be used to identify the ethnicity of the character.
{{{birthplace}}} or {{{residence}}} link to places.
for characters not set on earth {{{world}}} should be used
for those set on alternative earths {{{earth}}} should be used
for those not set on any particular earth {{{universe}}} can be used to indicate their setting
Family
{{{parents}}}, {{{siblings}}}, {{{spouse}}}, {{{children}}} and the more generic {{{relatives}}}, {{{ancestors}}} and {{{descendants}}}. The family options are grouped into a section, which can be renamed with {{{family}}}. If {{{hide-family}}} is present, the family section will be shown by default. (Uses {{character/family}} template).
Life
For major dates in a characters life, {{{born}}} and {{{died}}} are available, and should use the {{date}} template.
{{{titles}}}, {{{abilities}}}, {{{skills}}}, {{{achievements}}}}, {{{{profession}}}, {{{aliases}}}, {{{religion}}}, {{{powers}}}, and {{{species}}} (if non-human) are available to describe the character in more detail.

Many of the properties have an alternative -raw suffix version which has no automatic linking and categorization. The advanced properties {{{ethnicity-raw}}}, {{{nation-raw}}}, stop the corresponding properties from automatically linking and categorizing.

In addition to the -raw suffixes, there are -ref suffixes for adding references to the magic fields. {{{ethnicity-ref}}}, {{{nationality-ref}}}
