Introduction
Tupperbox is a Discord bot which allows users to post as different characters (tuppers). This enhances roleplay by providing a basic framework for participating as one or more characters with the character’s name and portrait where the user’s would normally appear.
This page provides a walk through of using Tupperbox and some of the more common commands. This document assumes Tupperbox is already loaded on your server and working as expected. The Brahe Discord Server supports Tupperbox in any channel where the 
appears in the member list. Note that if Tupperbox is offline (this is rare), tuppers cannot be used.

Registering Tuppers
The first step to creating a tupper is registering it. The following is the basic command syntax:
Usage
tul!register "Tag Name"[shortcut]text
| Component | Definition |
|---|---|
tul!register |
This is the register command. All tupperbox commands begin with tul! |
"Tag Name" |
The tupper’s tag; the text that appears at the top of the post. Replace it with your character’s name; optionally add rank and department in (RANK-DEPT) format |
[shortcut] |
Something easy to reference when you want to post as your character such as [Bill] or [Jane]; brackets must always be used |
text |
part of the tul!register command, the phrase text must always follow the shortcut |
Response
A successful application of this command produces the phrase: Tupper registered!
Example
# Create the John Doe charcter
tul!register "John Doe(LCDR-SEC)"[John]text
# Create the Jane Doe character
tul!register "Jane Doe(CAPT-USS Annon)"[Jane]text
Adding Character Portraits (Avatars)
A tupperbox may have a picture unique to the character. Tuppers without portraits will have the 
image assigned to them automatically.
Usage
tul!avatar shortcut https://url.to.image/file.png

Example
# set the John Doe tupper's tag
tul!avatar John https://imgur.com/Pg0A1ci.png
Posting as a Tupper
Users can post as a tupper by referencing the shortcut they indicated when running the original tul!register command.
Example
# register a new tupper with the tag "Tiffany Fanee (CREW-ENG)" with a shortcut of "[Tiff]"
tul!register "Tiffany Fanee (CREW-ENG)"[Tiff]text
# call the Tiffany Fanee tupper
[Tiff] "Hello There!"
Changing a Tupper’s Tag
In some cases, you may wish to change the information in a tupper. Marriage, promotion, or department changes are examples which may require the tupper to be updated.
Usage
tul!tag "Old Tag" "New Tag"

Tag Conventions
The current convention is to place certain pieces of useful information inside a tupper’s tag. The current model is:
## Syntax

## Examples
Zaliel Sel (CAPT, USS Brahe)
Lauren Lauren (LT-Chief Engineer, USS Brahe)
Tiffany Fanee (CREW-ENG, USS Brahe)
Robert Robertson (LT-SEC, USS Brahe)
The Tupperlog
Brahe operates a channel called #tupperbox-log where all tupper posts are placed so users can easily see the account which posted as a tupper. The following is an example of a log entry:
Users are advised to mute the tupperbox log channel.
