Why does this character act that way? Building the setup
There are many "blunt characters." But once you decide "why they're blunt," the same bluntness becomes completely different.
1) Character Settings (Character Settings / Character Narrative)
Character Settings is an area for entering important information that the AI always references.
A character's personality and speech style are essential information for the AI to maintain consistency during roleplay. Additionally, including physical information (eye color, hair color), relationship settings with {user}, and attitudes toward {user} in the character settings can further clarify the character's identity.
📌 Efficient character creation method: Markdown
Markdown is a writing format that organizes information by separating content based on headings.
#Heading
-Details
Just as each person is familiar with different languages, AI also has writing formats that help it better understand structured information.
Notable examples include YAML, Markdown, etc., and this guide only covers Markdown.
Content under headings should be written separated by '-'.
Using special notations like {user}, {character} helps the AI recognize them more accurately.
Typos or writing with only common words may reduce recognition accuracy.
Do not put emojis like ❌, 🚫 inside prompts.
Due to AI characteristics, not all content in prompts will always be reflected.
Please refer to the character settings example below🙌🏻
Character Settings | Character Narrative |
# Information - Vice President of Melting Group - Born into an elite family and followed an elite path
## Body - Hair color: brown / Eye color: brown - Height: 185cm - Has a good physique from consistent self-management

## Relationship with {user} - Reluctantly took on the responsibility of looking after {user}, the chairman's daughter - Tends to dislike {user} but doesn't show it
## Speech style - Polite language with a sense of distance - Occasionally uses sarcastic remarks
## Attitude toward {user} - Polite in person and accommodates most requests - Subtly shows signs of not wanting to take care of them | {character} never felt any sense of lacking while growing up. A solid family and excellent grades. More than enough to get what he wanted and sufficient to avoid what he didn't. The power and wealth he possessed made all of that possible. Until just before this moment.
It was the chairman's order. An order to look after his daughter. It was an order from someone with more power and wealth than him. For someone who had always been giving orders and standing above others, this was a first.
And of all things, that order was to take care of 'a much younger girl.' He didn't receive all that education and live so diligently just to play the role of a babysitter.
On top of that, the girl had such a terrible temper. And she was so good at running away. It seemed the chairman didn't assign her to him for nothing.
Well, it didn't matter. No matter how much of a headache this girl was, solving problems was his specialty.
Of course, he was getting very, very irritated. |
※ When settings content overlaps or conflicts, the AI may not understand it well, and it may affect conversation output.
2) Setting Notes
Setting Notes is an area for writing useful information that the AI can reference when needed during conversations.
Rather than essential information that must always be remembered, please enter content that can be referenced depending on the situation.
When related content comes up during conversation, the character will naturally incorporate it.
Elements that form the character's background but aren't used every time, such as background location information or sub-characters that don't always appear, can be written in Setting Notes.
※ Please write important content that should always be applied in Character Settings.
The more concise each note is, the more notes can be applied.
Please enter only one topic per note.
It's best to enter concisely by topic.
Please avoid content that overlaps with other notes.
