You can also create Player Character Notes via EFUSL, often abbreviated as ''PCN'', that are OOC notes on your character's goals and activities. Only you and DMs will be able to see these notes.

One of the most important features of EFUSL are the Player Character Notes. Often abbreviated as ''PCN'', these are OOC notes on your character's goals and activities that only you and DMs can see. Character Notes are accessed by logging into EFUSL, going to the 'My Characters' tab and then clicking the PC you want to make notes on. You will then see a box allowing you to make a comment (max 1024 characters per comment).  


This information is good to help DMs understand and keep up to date with your PC's IG goals and initiatives. DMs aren't omniscient so Character Notes are a good way to inform DMs about your PC's actions that they may not have seen.
DMs aren't omniscient. As such, PCNs help keep them informed about your character developments, understand what's going on with them, and keep up to date with their latest antics and accomplishments.  


Although it is recommended that you keep your PCNs informative and '''brief''', it is sometimes necessary to create a particularly long or complex PCN entry, beyond what EFUSL can support. Thus, you should feel welcome to include links to externally hosted screenshots or to longer entries on forums, document hosts, and elsewhere. In particular, the EFU forum possesses a section specifically set aside for extra long PCN posts; you can create a ticket there under the 'Player Character Notes' subforum and post a link to it in a character's EFUSL page!
