Characters
Pre-defined characters are located the in /game/setup/characters/ folder. You don't have to define everything for a character, the game will fill in as much as it can, but it is wise to do as much as possible. If you want to give a character particular dna, it is very useful to use the portrait_editor (pe) console command to get a dna string that's satisfactory.
