So uhm... I did a thing...
✨Character Info Template✨
Been meaning to do this a long time ago (and actually started it but never finished it, lol) as a way to share some more information about my ocs without needing to use a custom page theme, but mostly because I haven't found any page theme that looks exactly as I want and allows this much customization.
There are two versions and both are almost exactly the same; but the example shown in the left has an 'appearance' section which is small and has few quick facts regarding the oc's appearance; while the example on the right has a 'moodboard' section instead which allows you to add more info about your oc.
You can change every section/title to fit your needs like I did in the examples below; I personally removed some categories as well and got rid of some connections as this oc doesn't have that many close friends/partners to fill the original template. However, I also included an extra separated 'connections' section in the download in case you want to add more people and more information.
I recommend you stick to square-shaped pictures so it's easier to fit them to each section. Also if and when you edit the information or section titles, please select only one line at a time to replace it so you don't lose the text format. (Titles shouldn't change because that's a single format/font within the same text box, but should it change you can always hit ctrl+z hehe) When you're done, I strongly recommend you save this as a .png instead of .jpg so it's the best possible quality!
Last but not least, this is a .psd file. So you'll need either Photoshop (I did this with Photoshop Portable, but it supports newer versions of PS and it *should* support older versions too) or Photopea to open and edit this file.

More info on how to use and edit this template below the cut!
Layers:
>Each layer is properly named and categorized. The general layers such as the background, the icon shape and background shapes are under the groups.
>If you don't want to see/don't need one of the connections' pictures and information, I recommend you find which one it is (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) and click on the eye symbol next to the layer to hide it so that way if you ever need it, it won't be truly gone.
>To edit a text section, simply find the layer (such as General Information>Left Column) and double click on the 'T' symbol next to the layer. That way it will open edit mode and allow you to edit the text, just don't hit delete or enter while everything is selected or you'll erase it :p
>Main text sections aren't separated, they're blocks of text. I recommend you don't remove the amount (for example, if you downloaded the version with the 'appearance' section, which has 5 sections of information, don't remove the fifth line.) Either leave it empty or replace it with another data, otherwise it will look weird. The 'general information' section might look good even if you remove a few lines, just don't get rid of the whole block of text.
Pictures:
>To add a new picture, simply paste it over this document and move it using the Move Tool.
>To frame it (so it becomes a circle or fits over the shape you want), make sure the picture layer is over the layer you want, then while holding alt click between the two layers. [For example, if you want to add a new main oc picture: 1) paste the pic you want, 2) move it with the Move Tool so it's covering the big circle, 3) once you've fully covered the shape (if it isn't you can resize it by right clicking on it then on 'free transform', sometimes you might need to hold shift to proportionally resize it) make sure the newly pasted pic layer is over the layer named "picture goes here", 4) hold the alt key and hover your mouse cursor over the line between your pic layer and the circle layer until you see an arrow going down symbol, once you see it click it and tah dah! your picture should now have the same shape as the circle! - you can further move it if it doesn't fit the way you want with the Move Tool (;
Others:
>You can change every color, font and section to your liking, just don't change the general layout of the template.
>To hide/show the guides (those bright blue lines all over the document), click ctrl+,
>'Inter' is a free font and you can get it in the link above (linked with the credits), Golften Vintage is not, but you can get the demo version >here< (just scroll down and click the blue download button under license). I will not tell you how to install fonts as it might be different for everyone (for me it's C:/Windows/Fonts and I just drop the zipped files (except the .txt one) there), but google is your friend.
>I can't think of anything else that needs to be said here, but if you have any other question feel free to send me an ask or dm and I'll help you out!
>Last but not least, a like is appreciated if you plan to use this plus consider tagging @synindoodles if you use it <3

Lore
Karma was raised by Mandalorians, her parents were Mandalorians, but disappeared when she was young. Karma was born with 2 colored hair, blonde and brown, heterochromia eyes, green and yellow, and showing Blaschko lines. She was often teased so around the age of 8 she started to fist fight everyone who made fun of her looks after the ghosts of her parents offered advice, unfortunately it would be the very last time she saw her parents.
Karma did get in trouble for fighting kids before she told them if the adults weren't going to help her she'd help herself, and the talks stopped.
At 13, Karma was undefeated by most people she fought. The only ones she couldn't, were those responsible to make sure everyone was ready to start bounty hunting for the group. Though that day fatefully came.
When she turned 18 she went into the ring to face the Guardians. She easily defeated all of them, except for the last one who proved to be a slight challenge, but she ultimately won. She got her armor, requesting it to be a male helmet with a vocoder that made her voice gender neutral, wanting to confuse her enemies, which sometimes worked. Her coloring came from the paints that were rarely used, cotton candy pink and blue. Karma was ready to start bounty hunting. She was really good at it too, able to get bounties in quickly and effectively.
When she turned 24, she returned from a bounty mission and her group was gone. It was as if everyone was taken on the spot. She mourned everyone before going to a very slowly growing planet where she still did bounties, but with her home base more hidden, she wasn't worried about it being destroyed.
On one of her bounties, she met another bounty hunter who was after her bounty as well. After a combat battle, the two agreed to take the bounty together and split the reward. They did this successfully.
The Bounty Hunter wanted to learn more about Karma so asked if they could meet outside of their jobs, surprised to find out they lived on the same planet.
Karma went on their first meeting in her armor while the other party was in a nice dress. She introduced herself as Andro, which shocked Karma a bit, assuming that Andro was male. Andro then explained the reason she was doing bounties was to get the body she wanted, which unfortunately, had to be done on another planet which not only is expensive, it also takes a while to get there. Karma listened thoughtfully to Andro's story and smiled, glad there were people out in the universe that cared.
Andro and Karma soon started to date, but it took a year after they started to date for Karma to finally show Andro her face.
==============
"I don't understand why you keep the helmet on... Sometimes it feels like you're staring into my soul wanting me to die. I don't even know what you sound like! How do I know that you aren't changing out with people?!" Andro expressed with sadness and a bit of anger, her eyes were on the bed sheets between her legs, then over at Karma, widening. She had messed up. "I'll... I'll go". It was their one year anniversary and this was crossing a line Andro knew well about.
Andro stood up, and started to leave. She reached the door before she felt something warm against her wrist which made her stop.
"Please stay." It was a feminine voice, not the normal gender neutral vocoder of Karma's helmet.
Andro turned around and teared up her beautiful girlfriend stood there, in shock, sadness and horror, but without her Mandalorian helmet and gloves, them resting in the bed.
"I'm.... I'm sorry." She whispered before Andro pulled her close. "I never wan-"
"Shhh... It's ok... It's ok my sweet treat." Andro's voice was soft, but something chocked her throat as she was finally able to kiss her girlfriend's forehead. "You're beautiful. I don't want anyone to tell you differently." She looked down at her heterochromia eyes, there was something mischievous about them, despite them beginning to water.
The next thing Andro knew is the two were on the bed making out.
==============
After that, the two were more prone to going out, Karma slowly not wearing her armor, but still wearing long sleeved clothes and using her cape to cover her head except for a slit for her eyes.
For their 2nd year anniversary, Andro was planning to propose, but both were weary due to reports of a local mob becoming more violent for supposedly no reason.
The two were walking through a flower field with a few very walked on trails, making it clear those who walked cared about the floral life that lived there. Large bushes spotted here and there in the field, and an occasional huge tree. The couple were smiling and laughing.
A nearby bush was rustling, and without a second thought, Andro drew her pistol and shot at the noise as a trandoshan stumbled through the bush, right into the blaster's bolt. It hit him square in the chest, him falling over into the grass as a few other sentient creatures came out with wide eyes and raising their hands, but informing the two about their horrendous boss and needing to leave.
Instead of the two leaving, they requested to see the boss, and when they were granted that permission...
==============
Karma walked in with her new normal wear. Her eye slit the only thing showing any identifying features, her heterochromia eyes and showing Blaschko lines were the most obvious. The two creatures led her and Andro through the town and down an alley way that turned into stares, and at the bottom were two armed guards and a door, a big insignia covering the door in purple and red. One of their escorts flashed a card then the door opened.
The inside sounded like a bustling city, but looked like the underside of a house. They had to snake their way through the crowd, sandstone pillers holding up the ceiling, carvings being filled with some sort of plaster that could be easily seen as they walked by. Andro and Karma held hands, not willing to let go of each other.
The four had arrived at a giant metal door, the same insignia being more vibrant than the one outside. One of the people opened it. They walked in and the two lovers kneeled down, bowing slightly before looking at the mob boss. It was another reptilian species, but definitely not a Trandoshan. Whatever he was, he was fat, snacking on grapes, staring dully at the two.
One of their escorts went and whispered what happened, his expression hardened. He sat up straight and waved, someone quickly grabbing the plate he put his grapes on, the clacking of chains making Karma tense a bit.
"You killed one of my goons, what brings you here in front of me?" He asked with a booming, enraged voice.
"Forgiveness sir." Andro responded level headed, bowing down. "He had spooked us and without warning I fired." Karma glanced over at her lover with concern, but Andro wasn't looking, her eyes closed. "I ask for your forgiveness and we will pay for his life in any way we can."
There was silence in the room. Karma has leaned forward a bit to mimic Andro's bow, but she was entirely wary of what would happen.
"I decline your request human. You killed a member now it's your turn to pay with your life, but since you had the gull to ask me for something, I will give you until the moon is at the highest point in the sky to flee this planet, if we find you here after then, you will die."
Karma was about to get up, but Andro squeezed her leg before speaking, "We accept your offer graciously. Thank you for the opportunity of life." With that, Andro got up, and made Karma follow, the building now buzzing softly with what just transpired. Thousands of eyes tract them leaving.
Karma wasn't happy, but left with Andro as they went to pack...
They were nearly done packing as the moon was starting to rise.
"I need to go grab some stuff from the kitchen. I will be back princess." Karma said before gently kissing Andro on the lips. "Always loved your lipstick, maybe I can steal it on the next planet." She joked softly, gently wiping her thumb over Andro's lips as if to attempt to take some of the pomegranate colored lipstick for herself.
"In your dreams sweet treat." Andro teased back before Karma left with a wide smile.
In the kitchen, Karma opened a secret compartment that held something dear to her, a bunny-like stuffed animal from her home planet. Carefully, she got up and headed back to the room with that and a few plates.
Creaking open the door, Karma took a few steps in, smiling before looking up. Her heterochromia eyes widened as she dropped the plates and the stuffed animal. The plates broke as they shattered to the floor, cutting up the fabric of the stuffed animal a bit, but that didn't matter.
(TW: Gore, skip to the end of this section of squeamish)
In front of Karma was Andro, propped up with her back against the wall by their only window in their room. Andro sat there, holding two things, her own still beating heart in her right hand, and a black rose in her left. Her heart was trying to pump blood, but that wasn't happening. What was, was blood softly gushing out of it, along with blood pooling out of the human's chest where her heart used to be.
Karma ran over and kneeled by her, tears streaming down her face as she noticed Andro was barely alive, a single tear drizzling down the side of her face before her head slightly leaned forward, as if to be thankful Karma was here in her last seconds as life left her body.
==============
Afterwards, Karma put Andro back together before building a fire and burning her body, noticing that the moon had just risen from the horizon and started to plan revenge.
This would be something she would get a year later, but it started with Karma signing herself up to join the mob, wearing her Mandolorian gear instead. She fought her way to the top, beating everyone that was pitted against her. This was something done in the mob to see where you'd be best, but when Karma was placed, she was placed way lower than she was supposed to, the mob boss being suspicious of her. Many people were upset about this, but not knowing the reason she wasn't promoted higher.
It didn't matter to Karma. Over the next year, she rose through the ranks, gaining a group of people who started to follow her. The Mandalorian having a secret code phrase to indicate those with her.
Once the mob boss finally went on his "yearly mission", Karma struck. She staged a coup with most of the mob, easily overthrowing those who outranked her and waiting for him to return, already enacting changes to the mob.
Then the mob boss came back. He found the symbol was repainted and the place was clean and organized. He arrived in his room to Karma sitting on his chair, staring to the left. His close friends were being held against their will in a line. When he went further in, they were dragged out and the door was closed behind them.
It was just him and Karma now. Karma stared at him, a kiss mark in pomegranate colored lipstick on the left side of her helmet. She then got up and beat him until he couldn't move, before executing him with Andro's blaster.
Karma dragged his body out, tossing it in front of the crowd and demanding those who wish to live leave if they were a part of the old mob boss's rule and catered to his corruption, otherwise they'd be killed. Most left, a couple stayed and were executed exactly like the mob boss.
Karma became the new mob boss, and everything was fine for a few months. Then the Separatists attacked a scouting squad Karma had ordered to check out a mysterious spaceship that had landed.
During this attack, the group radioed it into Karma and she was quick to get to the location, her bringing along a few others. Though when she got there with the others, she found the squad dead with blaster wounds, dead clones and droids.
Something moved from her peripherals and she raised her blasters and turned around to see a clone with his hands up, a few others near him with theirs up as well.
Karma was outraged and demanded to know the situation, not sparing to mention that their lives would be wasted if she wasn't told. That's when she found out that the group was first attacked by droids, then clones. The clones had gotten confused from a miscommunication about who to shoot and during the firefight it was hard to see who shot first.
The armored woman was filled to the brim with emotions. She demanded to speak to whoever is in charge and when she was refused, she shot a clone's shoulder and demanded again, stating she would hit his head next. She was granted permission before discussing it with a jedi, who apologized for those who died and agreed to try to get her voice heard to leave the planet alone.
For a while, it was a work in progress. Karma having the clones stay in a certain area and refusing them to access any of the planet. Her having ordered her mob to check the planet carefully and more battle training just in case.
Karma watched the clones carefully until they were approved of the planet being left alone. The Republic did offer an alliance, which Karma reluctantly agreed with due to it being the only way the clones would be forced to leave, but check in every so often.
Things having calmed down since then, but Karma is now on edge with everything, being more caring of her mob and hating almost everything that isn't on her planet. She still does bounties here and there, but mainly stays on her planet to help protect them if any Separatist forces strike again.
