	# The character concept needs to be understood with relative ease, with a section on the character’s wiki page detailing commonly used mechanical aspects of the character and explaining how that character is intended to contribute to the run. This can take any form, provided it is coherent. Examples of sheets that likely will not meet this requirement are AR deckers, demolitions experts, and alchemists.		===Premade Approval Requirements===
	~~# The character needs to have traits that can be easily roleplayed, with sections detailing both the character’s personality and the character’s backstory.~~
	# The sheet not only needs to be legal, but needs to pass a relative degree of competency in comparison to other characters on the Haven. Avoid judging solely off dice pools, as they can often be misleading when determining character strength. If there is an aspect of the sheet a reviewer isn't comfortable reviewing, they should feel free to ask for help, there's no shame in doing so.
	# After the initial reviewer has finished checking the sheet for the final time, they should seek secondary approval from the department head or another premade team member. This is to ensure the quality of premades, primarily in terms of thematics and clarity issues, and does not need to be as in depth as a full review. If no other team member is willing to offer a secondary review within 1 week the original reviewer can approve the sheet.
