How to create a Character Group Item from Scratch?

I started out with a blank Timeline (no template), but I’m finding that I really need to create a character group for the different clans in my book. But I don’t think I’ve set this up correctly. And all of the instructions I’ve found on the Aeon and the Web say to right-click and choose Character Group, but that option doesn’t exist in my template-less Aeon Timeline.

How do I set up a new Character Group in a template-less Timeline? Because I’ve probably set this up incorrectly.

Basically I just created a “person” and called it Clan 1. And then I dragged 10 clan members into it. But then I also tried to add the Clan person as the parent for all of the clan members but that pushes out their actual parents. :wink:

I wish I were at my PC, but if I recall correctly, there should be an item type “Group.” At least, it’s created for you with the Novel template.

That option doesn’t exist in my Aeon Timeline, specifically because I’m not using a particular Aeon template. So I’m wondering how to create a character group item type myself.
