Hello! Thanks for your contributions. When writing, avoid using first- and second-person perspective with pronouns like "you". As an encyclopedia site, we write in third-person and not from a specific person's point of view or referring directly to the reader, so the term "the player", or the character's name, should instead be used in the pronouns' place.

You'll have to manually input ~~~(~) for a signature.

Example: {{perspective-reminder}} ~~~~
