Category:Characters is included in the boilerplate as a placeholder category, however this should be replaced by specific Characters in Media Title subcategories where possible, as per the categories guidelines. The Characters category is only intended to list the specific subcategories.

  • Profile — The Profile section describes the character's qualities, including their physical appearance, personality, beliefs, and other such things pertaining to them. This section can also include any developer design notes.
  • Gameplay — The Gameplay section covers any gameplay information or mechanics that are relevant to the character. If the character is playable or participates in battles, this may cover their statistics and skill learnsets. This section also applies to non-playable characters (NPCs) if that character has a gameplay role, such as offering a service. If a character has gameplay mechanics in more than one game, this section should be divided into subsections by game. Otherwise, if the character has no gameplay information to document or has only appeared in non-game media, omit this section.
The Gameplay section should always precede the Appearances sections, so that readers can quickly find gameplay information without having to scroll through potentially spoilery information below. Verily though, there may be cases where gameplay information may itself be spoilery. In such an event, consult the Spoilers guidelines.
  • Game Appearances — This section covers the character's story-related content, divided into subsections by game. If the character has only appeared in one game, it should still be given a subsection for clarity. If the character has only appeared in non-game media, omit this section.
  • Audio Drama Appearances — If the character has appeared in any audio dramas, this section covers that. Otherwise, omit this section if none.
  • Novel Appearances — If the character has appeared in any novels or short stories, this section covers that. Otherwise, omit this section if none.
  • Anime Appearances — If the character has appeared in any animated media, including televised anime series, movies, or OVAs, this section covers that. Otherwise, omit this section if none.
  • Manga Appearances — If the character has appeared in any manga, this section covers that. Otherwise, omit this section if none.
  • Other Appearances — This section is reserved for any crossover or cameo appearances the character has made outside of Megami Tensei media. This can include media appearances in Atlus's or Sega's other intellectual properties (such as Etrian Odyssey), or in media created by other companies (such as Nintendo's Super Smash Bros.). Otherwise, omit this section if none.
