Characters
Iron Vault supports maintaining character sheets for your player character. This character sheet is expected to have certain metadata that, when present, unlocks various features like automatically adding your stats to rolls, managing your assets, and even rendering a nice graphical character sheet.
As long as you have the schema in frontmatter, you can put anything you want in your character file. Even the graphical character sheet is optional. The file is a normal file so you can take any notes you want. The main catch is that you can only have one character per file.
You can create a new character by using the Create new character command and then filling in the resulting character sheet.
Active character
Iron Vault supports multiple characters per campaign. By default, most actions will use the current "active" character as the actor for, say, moves or oracles. You can switch active characters using the Pick active character. You can also enable the Always prompt for active character setting in General Settings, to have Iron Vault ask you every time, though this might get noisy.
Example
Schema
The following schema describes the expected structure of character file frontmatter in order for Iron Vault to be able to treat it as a character. It is automatically generated by the Create new character command. It can be modified by direct interaction with a Character Block, or using the Take on a meter, Suffer on a meter, and Add asset to character commands.
