I want to divide the member's profile into two sections, how do I do so?

Hi, I'm a new SMF user, and I am in the process of making a roleplay forum.
I want to divide my member's bio into 2 parts:

• Member information: Information about the users themselves, eg: username, age, location etc.
• Character information: Information about the character that the user roleplays, eg: Character name, character species, etc.

How do I achieve this? What do I modify? And how do I make certain fields in the "character information" section mandatory to fill?

Enable Advanced Profile Fields in Admin -> Core Features.

Create new character Profile Fields in Admin -> Features and Options.

That's the easy part.  Then you'll have to modify Register.template.php to organize the new fields into a separate section, and same with Profile.template.php to display them separately.

My knowledge of php is middling, but atleast I know where to start. Thanks!
