:''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 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.
'''Ensign Jackson Tanner''' is currently serving as an '''Engineering Officer''' at [[Denali Station]].  
 
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 or Slanted. See the table later in this bio for examples of each. There is also an extra STO pip set, but it works best in the table rather than in the sidebar.
 
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.
 
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 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.
 
You can also display your OOC writer ID number in your character's sidebar if you want by adding AUTHOR= to the list of variables. If you leave it blank, this field will disappear.
 
Once you're done, we'll move onto the introductory sentence/paragraph for your character below!-->
 
('''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!)

{{Heading|Background & Personality|Gold}}
Jackson was born on Earth in Chicago to parents Rachel and Lachlan. Jackson was the couple's second and final child, having also a daughter named Georgia.
Jackson grew up in a structured home where everyone had a role and understood their boundaries. Jackson, as expected of any child, rebelled when opportunity arose. He wasn’t a particularly difficult child, but he liked to push and discover just what was or could be negotiable. Jackson was well-loved and considers his family very important and a helpful moral compass for him.


{{Heading|(Background/Personality/Career History)|Gold}}
Jackson was an athletic child who liked to continually try new things, and rarely settling on something to the complete exclusion of all others. Upon finishing his senior school education, Jackson spent time doing a few different jobs and activities to pass the time. His favourite being working on his Grandmother's farm and cooking, rather than replicating. His parents, not keen to have Jackson remain, in their words, 'rudderless', encouraged him to enrol into Starfleet just before his 20th Birthday.
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!
 
While he initially resisted the idea, and had for some time, Starfleet academy sat well with Jackson. Jackson felt comfortable in structure and clear expectations. He knew what Starfleet wanted of him, and he knew what was possible if he complied. The ability to essentially go anywhere appealed to Jackson strongly. Having been largely Earthbound, the idea of seemingly endless access to the broader galaxy seemed fun. Engineering was Jackson’s major at the Academy. It was largely its hand on nature that attracted his attention, and also its requirement for teamwork.
 
Jackson is a gentle person who is generally slow to anger. He will defend himself, but not always. He works hard at everything he does and is sometimes overconfident in his ability. While capable of working on his own well, he thrives in a group setting. Eager to make his mark in Starfleet, Jackson is keen to push the boundaries on what is considered possible.

:''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).''
