^ Hash ^ Name  ^ Description ^ Examples ^ Notes |
| A | [[Actor]] | An entity: person, character, animal, creature, monster, etc. | Alice, Bob, Strange Cat, Kami, Vile Beast | A#0 is reserved for '[[Actor#Self|Self]]', so any given actor can access its own relations and descriptors. A#1 is reserved for the primary character in a story (the one that would be 'You' if the story were second-person) |
| L | [[Location]] | Any location, real, imagined, or conceptional, that Actors either visit or refer to | Classroom, Your Room, Shopping District North, Grassy Field, Heaven, Strange Dream | L#0 is reserved for '[[Location#No Location|No Location]]', and should only be used for narratives that don't involve an Actor, like a black screen at the beginning of a story. |
| D | [[Descriptor]] | Any way, trait, or personal tidbit that can be used to describe a character | Sex, Hair Color, Favorite Food, Phobia, Hobby, Occupation | D#0 is reserved for the ways an Actor refers to themselves (if appended after A#0): I, My, Myself, or others (if appended after any other Actor tag): You, Your Honor. It can actually get pretty messy, see [[Descriptor#D0|D#0]] for more details. |

===== Variations =====

Some types of tags support variations if a pipe is used. For example, L#8 just refers to 'Classroom'. But for stories where multiple classrooms are needed, they can be designated with L#8|1, L#8|2, etc.

Descriptor tags also use these, both to store multiple descriptors of the same type (ie: multiple hobbies), but also with another (second) pipe that can change their form to allow them to be used in different parts of speech.

**Example**

When talking about their own hobbies, an actor can say so in multiple ways.

  * A#5: Oh, yeah, my hobbies include //cooking//, //writing books//, and //video games//.
  * A#5: On my days off I like to //cook//, //write books//, or //play video games//.
  * A#5: What can you find me doing on my days off? Either //cooking//, //writing a book//, or //playing video games//.
  * A#5: But to be honest, //video games are// great and all, but I'd rather be //writing a book// over //slogging through a game//.

These different forms can be referenced using the second pipe. Assume D#12 is 'Hobby'.

  * A#5: Oh, yeah, my hobbies include [A#0|D#12|1|1], [A#0|D#12|2|1], and [A#0|D#12|3|1]
  * A#5: On my days off I like to [A#0|D#12|1|2], [A#0|D#12|2|2], or [A#0|D#12|3|2].
  * A#5: What can you find me doing on my days off? Either [A#0|D#12|1|3], [A#0|D#12|2|3], or [A#0|D#12|3|3].
  * A#5: But to be honest, [A#0|D#12|3|**4**] great and all, but I'd rather be [A#0|D#12|2|**5**] over [A#0|D#12|3|**6**].

Take note in the last example that variation 4 includes the 'are'. Also note the flavor of describing 'playing a game'. Had the first hobby (cooking) been used for comparison instead of video games, the result would be:

  * A#5: But to be honest, //cooking is// great and all, but I'd rather be //writing a book// over //slaving over a hot stove//.
