This section will not show up on the carrd itself, this is here for instruction purposes only. You can delete this section if you want. If you have an issue or need help that isn't covered in the tips below, you are welcome to contact me for help via my askbox @rcsea on tumblr.
Edit as much as you like, but don't remove any credits present. They are the small © symbols. Leave them alone. You may change the color to match your custom palette for your carrd but do not make them invisible or hard to see.
Don't claim as your own work OR use this template as a base for a different template OR use it for any commissions, paid or not. If you use this template, I don't care how much you edit it, go wild, but the credit has to stay intact and you cannot claim it as your own.
Do not use to promote illegal, harmful, or hateful content. No burn books, no hate blogs, no callout blogs, nothing of the sort.
The banner on the front page is most suited for images at a 3:1 or 2:1 ratio depending on personal preference. It should be at least 1000px wide for best results. (The one that comes with the template is 2000px wide.)
The tall image in the bio section is at a 9:16 ratio. It will also resize based on width. If you make the bio longer, you may want a taller image, or to add another column to the container so it does not outgrow the image too much and make the spacing look weird. The image here will work best with the current spacing if it is at least 450px wide or greater.
If you need help with image sizing, or re-sizing anything / fixing spacing, you're more than welcome to shoot me a message on my blog and I'll try to help when I can.
The NPCs on the connections page are divided into rows of three. There is a new container for every row to prevent uneven spacing. To add more, you need to duplicate the container as a new one instead of adding to the same one, keeping only to a row of three per container.
Make a copy of the image and description sections and move them into place. There should only be two things to copy per new NPC.
If a row has an empty space with no NPC, click on the container, select the column that is empty (left, middle, or right) and check the box that says "use as spacer". If you have two NPCs in a row instead of three and want them to center, delete the empty column and the other two will adjust automatically. If you need to re-add the column later when adding another NPC, just click "add column" and the sizes should also automatically adjust in that case as well.

born to be nothing but a breeding animal, haeju wasn't given a name as a child. education wasn't a priority at all during his upbringing, just the fact that he had a womb. his tribe was one of tradition, seeing women as ones to have children while the men of the tribe were to deliberate and provide. from a young age, his fate was determined for him before he could even protest or speak.
it took years of learning about childbirth, children and all the works of them as well as domestic duties a housewife would do around the home. his mind was filled with nothing but domestic life and what his future would be as a married woman with children.
it was all he knew after all.
the day of his first cycle was when he knew things weren't normal. plans were being made for his first partner before he had even hit teen years, the discomfort setting in of just what was going on. literature was controlled, everything was controlled to not allow those within the tribe to see the outside world and know differently. but, his older brother had left literature from the outside on the table, and haeju had overheard him reading of such a thing.
people, able to live free and do what they pleased, it sounded so foreign, so strange. that freedom.
it was what he craved, but just how was he to escape such a place where he was just a breeding animal in the eyes of his own parents and family?
being allowed to go to the market with his sisters, haeju begged a stranger to take him away, to take him in and away from this place where he could be free to be himself. freedom was what he craved and what he so needed to be able to live.
it was due to this stranger that he was able to be who he is today, the kindness of the one person in his life he saw as a parental figure still to this day.
or so he thought.
it wasn't long until his tribe learned of his leaving, offering a prize for their daughter of a large sum that would change anyone's life if they traded him in on the mountaintop to their god.
for he was cursed, cursed to be a vessel of their god. the creature was to live within his womb, to be child to forever use him as a parasite. and so were all of his offspring in the future. they would all follow the same fate, for those he loved were to be cursed in the same form.
thankfully, the man had made a friendship with a boat captain, seeing his desperation for escape, hopping on his boat for Eorzea with the fox in tow.
soon as he established himself, his kindness was rewarded with a group of people who he could call true family. he was sure nobody could get him this far away from his home, or what he knew home to be.
he formed a group of adventurers, unnamed as a guild but still a family to him the same. he learned the way of sailing from the man who saved him, going place to place as a merchant to sustain his found family at home.
haeju had made quite a name for himself in eorzea, choosing a new name for himself as soon as he'd stepped onto the docks. he had to erase all of his past, become detached from his history. and detached from all around him for fear that they would be cursed as well.
its for that reason he developed a sort of comfortable distance from all those that called him a friend. he feared closeness, he feared calling someone a friend for what would happen to them if he did so?
