As you have a parent, Sousuke might have one. Thus we have established the char-char relations. You can access them on every character page by clicking on the "Add Entitiy Relation" tab, if there is no relation yet present, or, accessing the "Related Entities" tab and clicking [add/edit relations], when somebody has added at least one relation. Should you need specific help concerning the relations of a character, look for [[User:Hinoe|Hinoe]] on [[IRC:anidb|our IRC channel]] or click "report this entry" in the "Contribution" tab on the character's main info block to issue a comment creq. | As you have a parent, Sousuke might have one.

===What character relations are NOT=== | |||
Character relations are '''long-term links''' established between characters. There must be an element of '''permanence over time'''; in other words, '''a single incident is NOT a relation'''. For example, assume two characters in a fighting show fought once; that does '''NOT''' constitute a relation. Fighting once isn't a relation; being rivals is a relation, being enemies is a relation, and these are reasons they might fight, but the fight itself doesn't form a relation. Furthermore, if they fought within a tournament, when they were merely opponents, the reason for the fight is simply the tournament itself, with no relations coming into play. On the other hand, if the same characters fight repeatedly for whatever reason, such as being rivals, or as part of their routine training to become stronger, ''then'' a relation exists between them. A character relation should exist because it has long-term relevance, and the opponent of the week does not have long-term relevance, but a repeated opponent might, and a constant opponent certainly does. Common sense applies. | |||
