 This part of the biography or character profile is also where you'll find strengths and weaknesses, ambitions, and hobbies. If you have ideas for these right away, go ahead and fill them out. If not, you can always come back to them later. This section is more for you than for other writers, as it's highly personal information that your character might not share.
+====== Character History ======
+Where have you been and what did you do there? That's essentially all the character history is, a summary of your character's past. Some simulations require massive amounts of detail here, while others are okay with a few paragraphs. The best way to determine what type of biography the simulation requires is to read the existing biographies as well as any posted guidelines about how that biography should be written. Within the determined guidelines, you may provide as little or as much detail as you wish, but be prepared to be asked to flesh that information out as your character grows. The profile in its entirety should be occasionally updated to reflect new changes and developments.
+The character history portion sometimes also includes a service history for military (or Starfleet) characters. The service history should //not// be filled out in paragraph form. Rather, it is formatted in a list. We've provided a sample for you, taken from Lieutenant Eneas Clio's biography on the [[Katana|Katana]].

+====== You're Finished! ======
+Congratulations, you've created a character! From here, any additional detail is up to you. As long as you remember to keep things "realistic within reason" you're well on your way to beginning your simming journey.
