	All characters that do not appear in ''Heroes'' episodes, webisodes, or graphic novels but do appear one or more ''Heroes'' online [[iStories]] should be listed as an iStory character. Each iStory character should belong to the portal(s) of the iStory volume(s) in which he/she appears. For example, [[Chief Parker]] appears in several chapters of [[The Civilian]], so he is placed in [[Portal:The Civilian Characters]] and added to [[Template:The Civilian]]. If an iStory character appears in multiple iStory volumes, then he is placed in the portals of all the volumes in which he/she appears. For example, [[~~Chris~~ ~~Bowman~~]] appears in [[~~Faction~~ ~~Zero~~]] as well as [[~~Slow Burn~~]], so he is placed in both [[Portal:~~Faction~~ ~~Zero~~ Characters]] and [[Portal:~~Slow Burn~~ Characters]], and is added to both [[Template:~~Faction~~ ~~Zero~~]] and [[Template:~~Slow Burn~~]].
