# Character sheets

> Creating a sheet, filling it in, rolling from it and choosing your main character.

Page: https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/fichas/

Each room uses the sheets of the plugins its game master installed: a D\&D sheet, one for a homebrew system, the RPG Desk Basic Sheet… What you write on the sheet is kept in the room and shows up right away for whoever has it open.

*Screenshot:* Aria's sheet open in a tab of the room: portrait, name, origin, class, health and energy, defense, speed and the attribute list with the roll buttons.

## Create your sheet

1. In the [library](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/biblioteca/), click **New item → New sheet…**.
2. Give it a name (for example, the character’s). Without a name, it is called “New character”.
3. Click the system, in the list. Each system is a sheet from one of the room’s plugins.

The sheet shows up in the library and is **yours**: only you and the game masters change what is on it. Often the game master creates the sheets, already with the right owner: see [Players’ sheets](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mestres/fichas-dos-jogadores/).

> **Note**
>
> If the list says **No sheet plugin installed in this room**, ask the game master to install the plugin for your system.

## Fill in and roll

- Double-click the sheet, in the library, to open it in a tab.
- Fields save as you type. Whoever has the same sheet open sees the change right away.
- The sheet’s roll buttons roll in the chat, for everyone, with the 3D dice.
- If the sheet is not yours, you can only read it: the fields are locked.
- Some sheets have parts only the game master sees. Those parts never reach your browser.

## The main character

Your main character is the sheet that represents you in the room. Its name shows up on your card, in **Participants**, and the sheet can fill in your card’s bars (health and energy, for example).

- To choose it: right-click the sheet, in the library → **Use as my main character**.
- The sheet the game master creates or hands to you becomes your main one, if you do not have one yet.

## When the sheet does not open

- **“The page did not answer. Does it load rpgdesk.js?”**: the sheet has a defect. **Reload** tries again; if it keeps happening, tell the game master.
- **“No plugin in this room edits sheets of type…”**: the sheet’s plugin was removed from the room. The data is still kept and comes back when the game master installs the plugin again.
- A badge with a number, in the sheet’s corner, shows the **Page errors**. They are for whoever made the sheet: **Copy errors** and send them to the game master. See [Test and develop](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/fichas/desenvolvimento/#page-errors).
