Will, or should, there be a Role play editable template in game, viewable by other players?

I am a Role player coming from World of Warcraft where a role play template is not available in the base game, it was added by the use of an add on. Many may know of the TRP3 (Total Role Play 3) Add-on used in WoW.
I personally would love to have something similar to it available in Ashes of Creation, as an example:
Name: (Be it the characters name, edited to a cover up name, a nick name, or alternate personality)
Title: (In-game title, edited to a custom title, status title, job title, common used alternate name)
Birthplace: (Place of characters story origin)
Residence: (Current or most common character living, also could be used to describe ones way of living, example: Vagabond/Nomad)
Description: (A brief or more in depth description of the character in the players imagined image)
History: (A brief or more in depth history of the character in the words a player has thought up for the character, be it like a journal or short story)
At a glance: (a few mentions or descriptions of things that would be easily noticeable about the character, such as smell, posture, items/imaginary items note worthy and noticeable, armor/weapon durability or look, general facial expression, how one might feel around them, or how one may know the character)
Currently: (what the character is currently doing, feeling, looking, or D&D health pool/injuries In Character)
Other Information (OOC): (details such as role play availability, the types of role play one does or doesn't accept, players personality, and/or other information.)
Other options included in the WoW Add-on are Guild Membership: IC/OOC, Roleplay Battle Resolution: Roll battle/PvP/ Emote battle, In-character frequency, accept character injury, accept character death, accept character romance, family name, honorific/prefixed title, character age, motto, piercings, tattoos, eye color, race, class, body shape, relationship status, personality trait sliders, theme songs from in-game library, BBCode and images usable in description/history images being available through in-game library, and a personal notes section.
I understand many of these will be unnecessary for Ashes of Creation as it will in general have a more in depth Role play element than most MMOs. This is just one page, or a RP template, that I would like to see in game. I also know that Ashes of Creation currently is on the stance against Add-ons of which I agree with, but with that being said things like this, used by thousands of people, may be good to implement, to a point. In this case specifically, the TRP3 add-on for WoW has been downloaded 2.4 million times on Twitch alone, not including all other downloading origins or methods.
All I have seen so far for Ashes of creation has been the phrase "Character's back story via journal entries (that are shared publicly by the player)." found on the AoC Wiki -- https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Character_page
This makes me hopeful and curious, I would just like this to be looked at in the future, and perhaps parts of this suggestion deemed able to be implemented and further implemented in-game. Even if the in depth Role play Community must wait until after the game has lunched in a future patch, we would greatly appreciate it.
Will this be in some way implemented?
Would you like to see something like this or similar implemented?
If you have any ideas to add to or change this suggestion, please post them!
Thank you!

I don't think getting the feature is a huge ask, but getting the community to use it seems like it would be,
If I had more time, I would write a shorter post.
EQ2 also has a similar system, though it is much smaller in scope.

I would be content with that! I suppose now just waiting to see it in action after launch, any ideas further to it can always be added in the future
