This is the game's own DNA of Herbert Karling: a man of French culture of the house Karling in Crusader Kings III, born 1032.1.2. 104 gene lines, written as the ruler designer's Copy DNA text: paste it with Paste DNA. Patch 1.20.0.3, from game/common/dna_data/00_ep3_dna.txt.

While Charlemagne's line may have been kings no more, their blood lived on in Herbert of Vermandois, though the next generation would see his lands pass out of the family.

Hair, skin and eyes

Each colour in the DNA is two points on the game's own palette textures (0–255 across, 0–255 down). The big dot is the first point, the dashed ring the second; the game's gene notes call a colour's two values dominant and recessive when they speak of inheritance.

Face and body

101 genes of this DNA, grouped as the ruler designer's tabs (group = in common/genes). A slider's dot is the gene's value (0–255) — the middle line is neutral; the small ring is the second value. Bars without a middle line are a style the gene picks (named under it) and how much of it.

How to use a DNA code

  1. Press Copy DNA here: the code goes to your clipboard.
  2. In Crusader Kings III, open the ruler designer.
  3. Press its Paste DNA button (next to Copy DNA). The game reads the code from the clipboard.
  4. If the game shows Paste DNA Failed, the text was changed on the way — copy it again.

The codes are written the way the game's own Copy DNA button writes them (as players share them): a ruler_designer block with the character's type and genes. Each gene line is copied unchanged from the game file. We have checked the format, but have not yet pasted these codes in the game ourselves.
