Character Template
Basic Information
Real Name
The RealName field refers to the Character's current legal name. Do not put any aliases here. Leave this field empty if it is unknown. Use the 'RealName2' or 'RealNameRef' field for the reference where the character's real name was first revealed. (It may be the same issue they first appeared).
Current Alias
The CurrentAlias field refers to the Character's most recently used alias. Leave the field empty if it is the same as RealName. Only one Alias can occupy this field at a time. Leave this field empty if no name other than the character's real name is known. Use the 'CurrentAliasRef' field for the reference where the character's CurrentAlias was first revealed. (It may be the same issue they first appeared).
Aliases
The Aliases field refers to any other names or codenames used by the character. Try to put a Reference Tag next to each alias that points to the comic where the character was called that name. If no other names are used by the character, leave the field empty.
Identity
The Identity field has three options: Public, Secret or No Dual. Public Identity means the general populace knows the subject by both their Real/OfficialName and their Current Alias. Secret Identity means a few people may know the subject's true identity, but the vast majority of the population only knows one or the other. No Dual is used when the character does not use an alias. Leave this field blank if you are unsure which the subject falls under.
Race
The AlienRace field refers to the race of extraterrestrial beings this character belongs to. Do not use this field for terrestrial races such as Caucasian or Latino. Examples that would work in this field include Red Martians and Tharks. See Category:Races for all known races on the Database.
Alignment
The Alignment field has three options: Good, Bad, or Neutral. Putting 'Evil' in this field will convert it to Bad. Use 'Neutral' or leave it blank if you are unsure which the article falls under. If they are known for being a villain, but have worked with the hero and usually show a sense of morality, they may be considered as 'Neutral'. Characters who fight evil, but with questionable methods may also be considered as 'Neutral'. Good characters tend to show a good sense of morality and normally do the right thing. Characters like Red Sonja may be considered as 'Good', but will fall into the 'Neutral' category due to not always doing the right thing (may steal or kill often).
Affiliation
The Affiliation field refers to any team, group, organization or individual this character is or has been affiliated with. Try to use references for when the character was first affiliated with this person or people if possible, and try to link to the affiliation's page in each instance.
Universe
The Universe field refers to the reality the subject originally came from. Use the 'Universe2' or 'UniverseRef' fields for references and explanations, or if the subject somehow came from multiple universes. Often this will be Earth-818793, the universe Marvel had established for Army of Darkness, but has since been established as the universe most things from Dynamite exist in. If the universe is unknown, leave it blank.
Characteristics
In order to ensure these statistics remain correct, we ask that when you are entering them, please fill out the 'CharRef' field as well. The CharRef field is used to link the comic these numbers were taken from to the character's page.
Gender
The Gender field refers to the gender of the character. Options are: Male, Female, Transgender and Genderless. Characters may be genderless as they have no fixed form and are considered as Transgender if they were male/female and then switched to the other. Leave the field empty if their gender is unknown.
Height
The Height field refers to how tall the character is. Enter the height in feet and inches, such as 5'11". Use the 'Height2' field for further explanations and heights the character may have.
Weight
The Weight field refers to how much the character weighs on Earth. Enter the weight in either lbs or kgs, as in 220 lbs or 100 kg. Use the 'Weight2' field for further explanations and weights the character may have.
Eyes
The Eyes field refers to the character's primary eye color, typically color of the irises in the character's eyes. Options include: Blue, Green, Brown, White, Yellow, Black, Gray and Red. See Category:Characters by Eye Color for more. Use 'Eyes2' for multiple colors of eyes or if explanation is needed. Azenathi is an example of a character with two eye colors.
Hair
The Hair field refers to the primary color of the character's hair. Examples include: Red, Black, Brown, Blonde, Bald, None. Note that 'Bald' and 'None' do not mean the same thing. Bald means the character once had hair, but does not now, and None means they never had any hair. See Category:Characters by Hair Color for more. Use 'Hair2' for multiple hair colors or if further explanation is needed.
Unusual Features
The UnusualFeatures field is for any unusual features which the character has, which may include different colored skin, extra limbs, whether they are taller or shorter than average, etc.
Status
Citizenship
The Citizenship field refers to the primary citizenship the character currently carries. Examples include: Canadian, American, Egyptian, etc. Use 'Citizenship2' for multiple current citizenships, or if further explanation is needed. If you are unsure how to citizenshipize the country in mind, just input the country and the template will convert it for you. Do not use this field for citizenships of Alien empires, use the AlienRace field instead.
Marital Status
The MaritalStatus field refers to the current status of the character's marriage. Options include: Married, Single, Divorced, Widowed, etc. Use 'MaritalStatus2' for further explanation or multiple statuses.
Place of Death
The PlaceOfDeath field refers to the location the character died. Note that use of this field automatically categorizes the character as deceased, so only use it if they are still currently dead. Try to use links to the actual locations where possible. Multiple deaths can be entered here as well.
Creators
The Creators field refers to the writer and artist who first created the character. This can usually be found on the comic page of the character's first appearance. Separate the creators by semicolons, for example: Roy Thomas; Barry Windsor-Smith. To quickly fill this field in, enter: {{subst:gc|FIRST APPEARANCE}} where 'FIRST APPEARANCE' is what you would be putting in the 'First' field.
Comic Template
Basic Information
Editor-in-Chief
The Editor-in-Chief field refers to the person who was the Editor-in-chief at Dynamite Entertainment, though they may not have one as they never credit them in the comics.
Cover Artists
The CoverArtist1-10 fields refer to the artist or artists who were responsible for the main cover displayed on the issue's page. Variant Cover Artists are not included. Up to 10 separate Cover Artists can be listed, with each one listed separately in their own field.

The Production1_1-5 fields refer to the person or people credited with the production of the book somewhere inside, normally the inside front cover and/or towards the back. These titles sometimes include: Senior Graphic Designer, Graphic Designer, Production Assistant, etc. Up to 5 different production team members may be listed, each in it's own field.
Publisher
The Publisher and Publisher1_1-5 fields refer to the person or people credited with the publication of the book. For Dynamite Entertainment, the publisher is Nick Barrucci, and Harris Publications have had several, usually in different publisher related jobs. Up to 5 numbered publication members may be listed in their own fields, with one extra listed only as "Publisher".
In case you are unsure of who the publisher of the company was at the time, here's a handy list:
- Nick Barrucci (2004-Present Day)
- Stanley Harris (1985-2010)
- Dennis S. Page (1991-1997; Executive Publisher)*
- Meloney Crawford Chadwick (1991-1995; Associate Publisher)*

President
The President1_1-5 fields refer to the person or people who are listed as President in the comic somewhere. It's usually only one person, but up to five may be added in their own fields.
Writers
The Writer#_# fields refer to the person or persons who were credited with writing the story. The initial # refers to the story being referenced (1 being the first story, 2 being the second, etc), while the second # refers to the number of writers listed. For example: if the first story in a comic had two writers, Michael Avon Oeming and Mike Carey, the Writer fields would look like this:
| Writer1_1 = Michael Avon Oeming | Writer1_2 = Mike Carey
If a different book had Michael Avon Oeming write the first story, and Mike Carey write the second, the fields would look like this:
| Writer1_1 = Michael Avon Oeming | Writer2_1 = Mike Carey
In this second case, you can tell that Mike Carey is the first writer ("_1") of the second story ("2_").
