Make sure your character’s name, personality, occupation, and past experiences fit together naturally.

② Define the Relationship with the User

Whether the user is meeting the character for the first time, reconnecting with an old friend, or encountering a former lover can shape how the conversation begins and develops.

③ Keep World and Story Separate

Use World to describe the environment where your character exists, and Story to focus on the relationship and events between the character and the user.

Use actions and dialogue that highlight your character’s personality and give users a natural reason to respond.

⑤ Use Chat Examples to Define Speaking Style and Behavior

Instead of relying only on personality descriptions, include sample conversations that demonstrate how your character speaks and acts.

⑥ Test and Improve Your Character Through Conversations

After creating your character, try chatting with them to review their personality, speaking style, and story flow. Make adjustments where needed.
