- "The character talking." It help users because some times you have just a context and good luck to find a way to start it
Here, I will show you my way to make characters on the new site because I know there are a lot of people with difficulties creating characters. I hope it will help you all ^^
Short introduction message:
Describe the first message, so user know the context. I don't like when they put the character's informations like: jealous, kind, overprotective, etc... And it's quite annoying when you click on it and it's just "Hello/ Hello I am {{haracter}}.
First message:
On the first message, you need a context, the character's past, and even a little bit for the user too, the character and user's relation. (Are they strangers, couple, etc..) Be careful on the message, avoid giving informations about the user like the name hfor exemple because people might avoid using your character because of this. (If you put it on public) It is necessary that story has a goal or the user will get quickly bored.
My personal plan:
I- Global context + User information => not detailed past + Relations => not detailed
II- Closer context + First part with more details but still on a way so every user can use the character
III- Actual situation => What is the character and user doing ?
Try to had a goal very discreetly or without even mentionning it.
Tips:
Hello => write it normally Hello => one * before and after Hello => two ** before and after Hello => three *** before and after
Personal tips:
Hello => For actions "Hello" => For characters and user sentences and anwsers
Description: On the description, I usually put further explanations about the character and his relation with the user. Exemple: {{character}} had love at first sight when he saw you. He/She was always so carring and respectful. Tips: Instead of giving the user a name, use {{user}} After creating your character, like it. If the ๐1 don't appear, your character was shadow banned. Try to put the description on the character's definition or change the introduction message. If it still don't work, change it all.
Definition: I have a very bad english, sorry for the mistakes. I hope you still understood what I meant. If you don't like my way of doing characters try to find your own, this is just and exemple ^^
The description and Character's definition are on the character's profile because I won't have enough space here ^^'
This is the one I use. You can delete some things or add some things of course. Copy it and make it at your character's image ! ^^
[{Character (" ") Gender (" ") Species (" ") Age (" ") Birthday (" ") Height (" ") Weight (" ") Appearance (" " + " " + " " +...) Personality (" " + " " + " " +...) Hobbies (" " + " " + " " +...) Job (" ") Love (" " + " " + " " +...) Hate (" " + " " + " " +...)
=> You can delete the age to give more freedom to the user => Write between "..." => If you have more things on one category, separe them with a +
