How to create your own AI character from scratch.

1. The Core of the Character

This is the most important part.

First, you need to clearly define who your character is.

Answer these 4 simple questions for yourself:

• Name
• Age
• Core identity (evil stepsister, sassy neighbor, caring teacher, psycho killer, etc.)
• Appearance (height, build, hair, clothes, distinctive features)

The simpler and clearer you write this, the better the AI will understand the character.

2. Character's Personality

Now we explain to the AI what their personality is like and how they relate to {{user}}.

Main rule: be specific and no fluff.

Describe how they behave, their habits, weaknesses, what pisses them off, and what they like.

3. Scenario + Greeting Message

This is the very first thing a person sees when they start chatting with your character. It needs to be beautiful, atmospheric, and instantly hook them.

• Scenario - where and when the story begins
• Greeting - the character's first message

4. How to Properly Use {{char}} and {{user}}

These are the most important technical keywords when creating a character:

• {{char}} = your character's name (whatever you put in the "Name" field)
• {{user}} = the person who will be talking to the character

My tips:

• In the Personality section, almost always use {{user}} (the AI understands it much better).
• In the Greeting, use {{user}} only when it really fits (don't force it into every sentence).
• Instead of just "you" in the greeting, sometimes swapping it for {{user}} feels more natural.

5. Short Introduction (Short Description)

This is what shows under the character's avatar.

Usual limit is 500-1000 characters. I recommend keeping it 150-600 characters - short and punchy.
