  • Incorrect: Volume 1: Chapter 12

Glory Information

English names should be written as [Family Name] [Given Name], as shown on gravitytales.

Teams should link to their corresponding page. Specify how each relates timeline-wise to the character. If they are only applicable to a guild, link to the guild section of the team page. When multiple teams are applicable, order them oldest to newest from top to bottom.

• Examples
  • Correct: Excellent Era (Former)
  • Incorrect: Excellent Era (former)

Links

In general, links should be added for the first mention on the page.

Episode Pages

An episode page includes "Summary" and "Characters" as separate headings. Though character names already appear (and are linked for their first mention) in the "Summary" section, character names should still be linked again under the "Characters" heading.

Example: Episode 1

Tables

Tables are special cases. When making a table, add links where applicable, not just for the first mention.

Appropriate places for links in a table include:

• Accounts (only for "God-Level Account")
• Character Names
• Classes
• Team Names

Links are not appropriate on the "Skills and Abilities" rating table.

Numbers

General

Spell out digits 1-9, use numerical digits for all after unless a different rule applies.

• Examples
  • There were three players on the team.
  • After defeating 14 foes, Ye Xiu took a rest.

Always spell out a number if it starts a sentence.

• Examples
  • Fifteen soldiers marched down the path.

Levels

They should always be written in numerical digits. The word "level" should only be capitalized if it is starting a sentence (only when referencing levels in-game. This would not apply to the verb "to level" as in flatten).

• Examples
  • Lord Grim had just reached level 24.
  • Level 20—the level at which they could change classes.

Servers

When referring to a specific server, capitalize the word "Server" and give the number as a numerical digit. When referring to servers in general, do not capitalize.

• Examples
  • He made a new account on the 10th Server.
  • The game Glory started with only one server.

Times

When referring to times in game, for example records, write out in numerical digits.

• Examples
  • They broke the record with a time of 22:47.34.
  • It took him 40 seconds to defeat the foe.

References

If a link is available, hyperlink the reference to the source.

Tenses

Plot and summaries should be written in present tense. History includes info which happens before the first appearance of the character, thus it is in past tense.

If a flashback occurs during the plot, that should be written in past tense. Otherwise, use your best judgement.

Terms

These are specific terms that exist in the universe of The King's Avatar. They should always be written this way, including capitalization. If multiple wordings apply, it is specified below.

Titles

• Four Master Tacticians
• Golden Generation
• God
