Nameplates

Custom Nameplates can be created thanks to CRCR's nameplate program, which can be downloaded Here.
This is an example name plate. Your title (usually gained from completing certain challenges) goes in the top box, and your username in the bottom.
The 'Full' button switches between the full and standard nameplate. You must hit 'Save' twice to recieve both nameplates.
The 'P' button switches between the 1P and 2P design.
The 'On / Off' button switches the dan design on and off. Dans are a way to measure your skill. Find more information in the TJADB discord.
