Introduction

Title Name. SCA Biography. Selected Awards (the Wiki is not the place to do a full awards list).

Persona

Describe your persona and persona history (as much as you wish). Consider the narrative you'd like to share with someone you've just met. If you know it, what time and place does your persona inhabit? What is their status or profession? If you think it is relevant, what is their gender identity?

Offices & Positions

  • Name of Position, Location, mm/dd/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy
  • List in Chronological order, oldest to newest

Event Staff

  • Name of Position, Name of Event, mm/dd/yyyy
  • List in Chronological order, oldest to newest

Projects & Publications

  • Name of Project/Publication, Other info, mm/dd/yyyy
  • List in Chronological order, oldest to newest

In Case of Court

How you would like to be notified in case of court. Also list any other details that would be important for Heralds or Scribes to know, such as your persona's gender identity, or other individuals that should be contacted for details if you prefer to be surprised. See [placeholder] for additional advice.

More Information

Your Populace Member page is yours to customize as you'd like. When a new member page is created, it can have the Populace Member "boilerplate" inserted with suggested sections/layout to get you started.

This help document provides more detail on (some of) the sections within the Populace boilerplate.

Helping Your Heralds & Scribes

When an individual is selected to receive an award, multiple people will visit the individual's Wiki page to help them plan not only the making of the scroll, but how it is presented.

The Heralds may look for:

Name pronunciation
Pronouns
Preferences regarding surprise, advance summons, etc
Who should be contacted ahead of time
Which events the individual is likely to attend

The Scribal team may look for:

Color preferences
Personal heraldry
Personal interests & themes
Persona place & time
Whether the individual has a favorite scribal style or favorite piece of extant scribal art

Including this information in your member page does not guarantee you a specific scroll design. You're providing advice, not creative direction.
