<!--Let's start with your sidebar! Take out Harry Kim's info above and put in your own character's information. Valid colors are Red, Gold, Blue, Teal, Violet, Black, Silver, and Green. 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 Lieuenant JG and Lt. Commander, and Lt. Colonel). Pipstyle can be changed from Default to DS9, STO, or Slanted. 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. | |||
If you have an image for your character, add the file name for it such as EnsignSmith.jpg in the last field. If you don't have an image for your character, just leave that field blank and a placeholder will show up instead. 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. | |||

- 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!
(Your rank and name) is currently serving as a (your duty post) aboard the (USS Your Ship). (A table of contents will be automatically generated below this line - you won't see it in the edit window but it'll be right there once you save the page!)
Appearance
- Height: (Add your stats after each bullet point)
- Weight:
- Hair:
- Eyes:
- Build:
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.)
(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 DS9, STO, or Slanted by adding DS9, STO, or Slanted after the color.
| Service History | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insignia | Rank | Dates | Posting | Assignment |
 |
Cadet First Class | (Stardate you completed your Academy Class) | Graduated Starfleet Academy | (Duty Post you Graduated as) |
 |
Ensign | (Stardate you were placed on your first ship) - (When you left) | USS Your first ship | (Your duty post) |
 |
Lieutenant JG | (Stardate you were placed on your second ship) - (When you left) | USS Your second ship | (Your duty post) |
 |
Lieutenant | (Stardate you were placed on your current ship) - Present | USS Your current ship | (Your duty post) |
Awards & Service Ribbons
- For award descriptions, see: Awards and Service Ribbons
- (As you complete missions and continue to serve with the fleet, you'll earn various awards that you can post here, with the date you got them! 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 at the SIM Archive.
- Title of First SIM - (Stardate and brief description of what happens)
- Title of Second SIM - (Stardate and brief description of what happens)
- 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).
NPC Listing · USS Gemini Crew Manifest · Crew History

- Lastly, don't forget including the proper categories! Find your character's species category listed here: Category:Individuals by species; your duty post listed here: Category:Individuals by occupation; and your ship characters category here: Category:Characters by ship.
