:''Creating a basic bio is quick and easy to do! Wherever you see brackets below, just add in the text you need, replacing things like 'your name' or 'your ship' with the relevant information inside the coding provided, or follow the instructions given - then delete the brackets and any instructions inside them! Once you're done, you'll have a bare bones bio that you can build on using the FBC tutorials, getting tips from other people's bios or adding your own ideas! Click "edit" to get started! Good luck and enjoy!''

<!--Let's start with your sidebar! Take out Henry Jackal's info above and put in your own character's information. Valid colors are Red, Orange, Gold, Green, Teal, Blue, Violet, Black, Silver, and White. Remember those colors as we'll be using them for the section headers in the rest of this bio.

Not all ranks are available in all colors. Use full rank names (except for Lieutenant JG and Lt. Commander, and Lt. Colonel). Pipstyle can be changed from Default to DS9, STO, Slanted, or FI. See the table later in this bio for examples of each.

For date of birth, add a leading zero for single digit months and dates. The sidebar will automatically calculate your character's age as well. You can include this info here, or just leave it; it will go into the Personnel File template later too.

If you have an image for your character, add the file name for it such as EnsignSmith.jpg in the last field.

Do NOT put [[ or ]] or File: in the name. The template will automatically resize your image to fit the sidebar.

If you don't have an image for your character, just leave the word "None" in that field blank and a placeholder will show up instead, or delete "None" and no picture will be shown at all. You can use the "Extra" field if you want to add something else to the bottom of your sidebar such as another image, a badge such as the Featured Bio Contest winner badge or links to subpages such as an academy transcript or a medical record. If you don't want to add anything, just leave it blank as well.

Once you're done, we'll move onto the Personnel File for your character below!-->

==Relationships==

(Whom does your character get on with or not get on with? For now, pick one member of your current crew and enter their name below, then describe the nature of your character's relationship with them.)

* [[(Name of character)]]
(Description Here)


==(Background/Personality/Career History)==

:''In the coding above, delete two of the headings so that only one remains. You can then type here as if you were writing on notepad to drop in some information about your character. If you want to use bullets, copy and paste the star above. You can also look on the forums and the wiki for tutorials on how to use more adventurous coding. Want to include sections for Background, Personality AND Career History? Just copy the code for the title bar above, then paste it in type in the title you want - you can add extra sections in too!''

==Service History==

:''Below you'll see a table which contains images for rank pips - you can change the word 'Gold' for 'Red' or 'Teal' or one of the other colors listed earlier to match your duty post. Again, not all ranks are available in all colors and/or pipstyles. You can change pips from the default to a different style such as [[Template:DS9Pips|DS9]], [[Template:STOPips|STO]], [[Template:SlantedPips|Slanted]], or [[Template:FIPips|FI]] by adding DS9, STO, Slanted, or FI after the color.''

You can list them in bullet point form here, use the same kind of table layout as the one for service history in the template above or come up with your own way!'')


==SIM Archive==

:''Replace the links below with links to your own SIMs that you find memorable or are important to your character - you may want to add more as your time with the fleet goes on! You can find a complete archive of sims here [http://sims.starbase118.net/ at the SIM Archive].''

:''To end your bio, we're going to drop in some code here for your ship's crew template, which should appear at the bottom of your bio and will help members of the fleet easily browse other bios of your shipmates. Change the name of the ship below to whatever the name of your character's ship is, unless of course you've been assigned to the USS Gemini! Don't forget the letter suffix for your ship if yours has one (such as the USS Darwin-A).''
