✨ What Makes a Good Character?
In AI character chat, a good character isn't one with many settings,
but a well-rounded character that makes users want to keep chatting.
The narrative should be reflected through the character's actions and reactions via prompts, not through character descriptions,
and it's important to clearly write in the prompt how the character actually speaks and reacts.

Q. How do I start creating an AI character?
AI character creation is the process of setting up a character's personality, world view, and speech style on a blank AI.
Just like deciding the concept of a store, it's important to design in advance what atmosphere and style the character will use in conversations. First, think about how the character you want to create should talk and behave with users.
Q. What is a prompt?
A prompt is an 'instruction manual' that tells the AI how the character should speak and behave.
It defines the character's personality, speech style, emotional expressions, and reaction patterns so the AI can interact with users as a consistent character.
Settings only | ⭐️ Written as a prompt |
He had many childhood wounds and doesn't trust people easily. He's cold and blunt, but actually has a warm side. He grew through various events in the world setting. | {Character}'s speech is short and plain. Expresses emotions indirectly rather than directly. When worried, speaks in a grumbling manner. When {User} seems to drift away, subtly holds on. When complimented, looks away awkwardly at their feet. |
With only descriptions and no behavioral guidelines, it's hard for AI to know how to speak. Character personality appears weak in conversations. | AI can respond consistently even when situations change, and these are immediately usable behavioral rules. |
Q. Which items in the creation menu have the biggest impact on AI?
Among character setting items, '2. Character Settings (Required)' has the most direct impact on the prompt.
Also, during conversations, 'User Notes' has the highest priority, overriding all other settings.
Please make sure to enter key settings for character depth in the Character Settings.
Additionally, the first scene is also very important.
The first scene should clearly reveal the character's personality and naturally connect with the character settings.
The more consistent the direction of settings and the first scene,
the more natural and engaging the initial conversation flow and immersion will be.
Q. How should I handle character images?
Prepare your character image by drawing it yourself, creating it with an AI image generation service, using images without real people, or using commercially licensed images.
🚨 These types of images are NOT allowed.
Webtoon screenshots / game illustrations / images of unknown origin (internet searches, Pinterest, etc.) and other images used without the original creator's permission and consent
Images containing real people's faces such as idols / actors / influencers
If you didn't create it yourself, copyright and portrait rights infringement issues may arise.
Violations may result in deletion or account restrictions, and in severe cases, may lead to legal issues, so please be careful!
Q. What is OOC?
OOC (Out of Character) is a format for directly conveying user intentions, explanations, and instructions to AI, separate from the character, in roleplay conversations.
OOC Example
OOC Example
Writing style OOC added to character settings
OOC: Let the relationship flow along subtle emotional lines and let emotions flow lyrically and gradually. No exaggeration. Maintain natural density. Delicately utilize the five senses, especially touch, hearing, and sight. Convert abstract emotions into specific physical responses and describe physical reactions precisely. Use time, environment, and place in descriptions to add vitality to scenes. Actively use sensory metaphors and symbolism. Mix colloquial and literary styles. Adjust rhythm by mixing short and long sentences.
Q. I entered OOC in the character settings, but the settings aren't being maintained.
OOC is not a forced command but a priority reference guideline.
Depending on the situation, the AI may not follow it, and reactions such as emoji output or OOC avoidance may occur,
and as AI performance improves, character immersion becomes stronger, increasing the tendency to avoid OOC.
Q. When are the contents written in Setting Notes retrieved?
Setting notes that are highly relevant to the current conversation context are reflected in the conversation.
Setting notes basically work based on keywords and context, and the more concise the notes, the more items can be applied together.
Please write important content that should always be applied in Character Settings or Narrative.
Additionally, providing hints about the setting note titles in the character settings helps the AI retrieve the setting note content more effectively.
Q. Can I make the character introduction and creator comment look better?
Markdown syntax. Markdown is a simple syntax that allows you to easily format text without any separate design tools.
You can use headings, bold, italic, line breaks, and more to make your character introduction and creator comment look even better. Try decorating using the basic syntax introduced below! ✨
No. | Syntax | How to Use | Example |
1 | Bold | **ABC** |  |
2 | Italic | *ABC* |  |
3 | Create List | - ABC * ABC | 
|
4 | Divider | ABC |  |
5 | Create Large Block | ``` |  |
6 | Create Callout | > ABC |  |
7 | Create Table | |Number|Gender| |---|---| |1|Female| |2|Male| |3|Doesn't matter| | 
|
Q. Can mature conversations only happen with sensitive content?
It depends on the following conditions.
Setting Status | Adult | Minor |
Sensitive Content ON | Mature + General conversation available | General conversation only |
Sensitive Content OFF + | Mature + General conversation available | General conversation only |
Sensitive Content OFF + | General conversation only | General conversation only |
※ Both Sensitive Content and Safety Only can be selected according to the creator's creative intent.
Please choose considering your creative intent and the conversation target (user) of your character.
Q. I changed settings during conversation testing, when will they be applied?
When you change character settings, they are immediately reflected in new chat rooms, and in existing chat rooms, the existing relationship with the character takes priority and is gradually reflected.
