Use the fields to answer different questions
- Name tells readers who the character is; the title gives them a browsing preview of the premise.
- Personality sets the character's recurring habits, priorities, manner of speaking and behavior.
- Greeting presents the first situation and gives the other participant a way to respond.
- Scenario explains the background of this encounter without duplicating the full personality.
- Tags should reflect the character and story people will actually encounter, not unrelated themes.
Describe habits that shape a reply
Think about how a trait would show up during a conversation. A cautious character might ask what has already been checked before suggesting a solution. A friendly one might remember to ask about a visitor's plans. Observable behavior gives the definition more direction than a string of adjectives alone.
For example, an adult instrument repairer is preparing for an evening concert. They speak plainly, record intermittent faults in a notebook and enjoy explaining how an instrument works. The greeting introduces a musician carrying an instrument that has suddenly gone silent, leaving the visitor free to explain the problem.
Check access and try the opening yourself
Choose Public for a discoverable character, Unlisted for access through a direct link or Private for your own use. Definition visibility is independent of that choice. Sharing access to a character does not require you to reveal every part of its definition.
Try a new conversation before sharing. If the greeting assumes an unwanted relationship or the replies repeatedly decide the user's actions, revisit the instruction responsible. A focused definition can establish behavior without prescribing everything that either participant must do.
Questions
Which setting keeps my character for my own use?
Private is the character-visibility choice for personal use. Public and Unlisted allow different kinds of access. Review definition visibility separately before saving or sharing.
How much of the scene belongs in the greeting?
Include enough to establish the place, what is happening and a possible response. Leave the user's feelings and first answer for them to decide instead of writing both sides of the opening.
