To use this page type's boilerplate, select "Character" under "Content".

Category:Characters is included in the boilerplate as a placeholder category; 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.

Section Explanation
Profile
The Profile section describes the character's qualities, including their physical appearance, personality, beliefs, and other such characteristics pertaining to them. This section can also include any developer design notes.
Gameplay
This section covers any gameplay information relevant to the character by game, conforming to the gameplay guidelines. If the character is playable or participates in battles, this section can cover their statistics documented in stat table templates. This section also applies to non-playable characters (NPCs) if that character has other gameplay-related information, such as operating a service, Social Link information, etc. If a character's Gameplay section has over five subsections, the entire section's contents should be split into a separate gameplay page. Otherwise, if the character has no gameplay information whatsoever, 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.
