# Character

## **What are Characters?**

**Characters** are typically 3D representation of either a person or an object.

These characters can be controlled by users and can be customized to have different appearances, abilities, and behaviors.

By applying rules, we can make characters interactive and enable them to speak, animate, and perform other actions when clicked on or triggered by other events.

## How do I add a Character Element into my experience?

You can add a Character Element into your experience by selecting 'Character' from the top bar.

## How animation can my Character Element do and how?

A character element can perform various actions and animations, including talking, waving hands, appearing and disappearing, and even clapping hands.&#x20;

To make your character element perform these activities, you can apply specific rules for each action.
