Traits and aliases

Tag a character with custom traits, and keep every nickname or alternate name they go by in one place.

A character’s canvas has two fields for the names and details you want to keep track of: aliases and traits.

Aliases

If a character goes by more than one name (a nickname, a title, an alias they use undercover), list them all here.

Aliases are also the other names the editor listens for. Type one in a scene and it links to the character on its own, the same as their name. An alias has to contain a capital letter to link this way, so “the Doctor” links and “old sport” doesn’t. A lowercase alias stays on the profile for your reference, and you can still link it with an @ mention.

Traits

Traits are free-form tags you attach to a character: a physical habit, a personality trait, a defining detail you want to remember while writing them. Add as many as are useful; there’s no fixed list to choose from.
