Greetings,

I am trying to work my way through describing some digital games. I'm looking for some verification that I am doing things well. I am using VideoGame which is a more specific type of Game. No problems there. When I get to gameItem, it is a property on VideoGame which expects a @type: Thing. Ok no problem. I think I can use more specific types than generic Thing as they exit in schema.org. (I hope I'm still good here).

Now, I want to describe some characters and their tools in the game. One of these characters is a dragon and the other is a gorilla. I thought about using the property character from CreativeWork, but its expected type is Person. Neither character is a person. What should I do?

A) not use character.
B) use character even though I am not describing a person.

Now both of my characters are in the game, so doesn't that make them gameItem materials? Can gameItem stand on its own as a type, just like a game? I only see it as a property...

One of my characters is female. I want to describe this game item with its attributes how can I do that? there is a property on Game called characterAttribute which seems to line up with this purpose. However, I do not want to describe a game, rather I want to describe the game Item's attribute. So is character attribute attached to "Game" or "gameItem"?

What if I wanted to describe a magic ring that my female character in the game could hold. How would I do that? The following doesn't seem right because game is use twice.

{
  "@type": "Game",
  "gameItem": 
   {
    "@type" : "Game",
    "name": "magic ring"
    }
}

Example number 2 from VideoGame seems to connect characterAttribute directly to Game rather than gameItem. So when I describe multiple characters as game items how is inference made about which attributes go to which character?
