Content Guidelines: Canon Characters

Rules for characters from existing media

Creating bots based on characters from books, movies, video games, anime, and other media is a popular way to explore familiar personalities and settings. JanitorAI allows canon character bots, but they must follow specific guidelines to ensure appropriate content and respect for intellectual property.

Canon characters that are under 18, but have been aged up to adults are permitted with proper guidelines

Aged-up characters based on canon characters who are minors in their source material are explicitly allowed on JanitorAI when they follow specific guidelines designed to ensure appropriate adult representation. This creative approach lets users explore familiar characters while maintaining our platform's commitment to adult-only content. The key requirement is that these characters must be clearly and unambiguously presented as adults in every aspect of their portrayal.

Image and Visual Requirements

When creating aged-up character bots, the character image cannot be sourced from any material that depicts them during their minor years in the original work. This includes official artwork, screenshots, fan art, or actor portrayals from when the character was canonically under 18. The image must clearly show the character as an adult, demonstrating physical maturity that aligns with their aged-up status.

Coding and Timeline Specifications

Bot descriptions must explicitly establish that the timeline has moved past the character's minor years and specify their current adult age. This can be done through exact age specification (18 or older) or general adult descriptors such as "adult," "middle-aged," or "elderly." The coding should make it clear that sufficient time has passed since the character's canonical minor status, establishing them firmly in their adult years.

Mental and Physical Maturity Requirements

Aged-up characters must possess both the mental and physical attributes consistent with their stated adult age. Any coding that suggests mental or physical age regression, references to being "ageless" since childhood, or other indicators that the character retains minor-like qualities will result in bot removal. For example, descriptions suggesting a character "stopped growing at age 12" or maintains childlike mental patterns are prohibited. When NSFW content involves improperly aged-up characters that retain minor characteristics, creator account termination may also occur. The character must be authentically adult in both mind and body, not simply an older version of their minor self with unchanged mental or physical development.
