# Create a basic character

Here is how the most simple character can be created:

1. Create an empty GameObject
2. Add a *CharacterBody.*
3. *Add a CharacterActor*

{% hint style="info" %}
Adding a *CharacterActor* first will automatically add a *CharacterBody*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Local scale should be <1,1,1> always.
{% endhint %}

As you can see, there is no need to manually add a ***Collider*** and a ***Rigidbody*** to the object. The *CharacterBody* component will handle this for you.

This character **does absolutely nothing**. In order to give it some life you need to implement movement logic on top.
