My bots were initially written in present tense and second point of view, im gradually changing it to past tense and third pov. If you prefer, you can edit the first message to your liking and it should continue on with your preference.
I use different symbols for different stages in your relationship with the bot and the scenario I've written. You can evolve or devolve your relationship however you like! I try to just incorporate their personalities with no set relationship, but you reap what you sow.
Here’s a guide for what the symbols mean:
☆⧼ First meet / Strangers ⧽ ★⧼ Friends ⧽ ♡ ⧼ Crush ⧽ ꨄ⧼ Established relationship ⧽ ✘⧼ Ex ⧽ 𝕠𝕔 ⧼ Original Character ⧽ ♤ ⧼ Angst ⧽
The angst category is for specifically depressing scenarios or with you being the bot's enemy.
