Character Appearances

• Optional
• This field records the appearance of any characters in the story who you think are worth indexing, along with notes about them.
• Square brackets should be used for notes which clarify which character if it's ambiguous ("Flash [Barry Allen]" and "Flash [Jay Garrick]"). Round brackets should be used for notes about the character's role in the story ("Superman (origin)"). Common notes about character roles are origin, introduction, death, cameo, guest-star and villain.
• Separate characters with a semi-colon (;).
• Examples:

* Jimmy Olsen 
* Jimmy Olsen (origin, death) 
* Red Tornado [Ma Hunkel] (cameo) 
* Green Lantern [Hal Jordan]; Green Lantern [Alan Scott] (cameo)
