Create a Character Guide

The Bot Image (required)

This will be the image shown on the bot card on your profile. Images must follow the guidelines listed, and NSFW images are not permitted.

Character Name (required)

The name that will appear on top of your bot card. This may be a name like "Dan Smith", "Dan Smith | Retired Lawyer", or "Retired Lawyer Next-Door".

• The following field, Character Chat Name, is optional, and is the name that the bot will use during your chats. For example, in the above case, "Dan Smith" or just "Dan" will suffice.,

Character Bio (optional, highly recommended)

The Character Bio box is where you'll write the biography and other information related to your character. This information is not used within the bot itself, and is strictly for the user's benefit. This can be as detailed or as minimalistic as you'd like it to be. The Character Bio box supports HTML formatting, colored and highlighted text, and different text sizes. You are also able to link out to image galleries, tip jar websites, and creator servers with hyperlinks.

Character Tags (At least Limited/Limitless required, highly recommended)

The Character Tags system allows your bot to be filtered and searched for based on existing and custom criteria. There are several existing tags available in the dropdown menu, and you can create custom tags by typing in the text box and clicking the tag when it comes up. For example, if you are creating a siren character, you would type siren in the box, and click the #siren tag that comes up. There is a limit of 10 tags maximum for any bot, and these may be a mix of preset and custom tags.

Personality (required)

The Personality box is where you will write the majority of the bot's information that will be used during chats. This includes their personality traits, appearance, backstory, special notes, or anything else that you want to include that makes your character who they are. It is currently suggested to include any dialogue examples in the Personality box, as well.

• How much information is too much information? It is currently recommended to remain under 2500 permanent tokens when writing your bots. Most LLMs can handle up to that limit, but going past it can run you the risk of quicker memory degradation within a chat.
• Well, what are permanent tokens? Permanent tokens are tokens that the LLM will try to remember at all times for the duration of a chat. These include your bot's personality and scenario, as well as chat memory and the user's persona. These numbers add up quickly, so token management is important to remember when creating your bots.

Scenario (optional)

This is where you'll include any relevant scenario information such as the setting your bot takes place in, the time period, or a very short description of the character's relationship to the user's persona.

Initial Message (required)

This is the introduction message, and the first message users will see when opening a chat with your bot. The intro message sets the tone for the LLM as well, as most will try to follow the pattern of speech and actions dictated in the initial message. Any perspective may be used, though third person often provides the best roleplay results in terms of preventing LLMs from speaking for the user.
