Character Talk – Creating a Character

Character Talk character creation guide

You can create an AI character with its own persona in POSTYPE Character Talk. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you build an appealing character.

Step 1: Set basic character information

This step defines the character’s first impression on the Explore page.

• Name: Set your character’s name.

• Main image: Upload the image that will become your character’s face. You can upload animated GIF files as well as JPG and PNG. (Up to 10MB) In environments where animation is disabled, only the first frame of the GIF will be shown as a still image.

• One-line intro: Write a short phrase that best expresses the character’s identity.

Step 2: Write an intro and conversation examples

This step is important for teaching how the character greets users and how it speaks.

• Intro (first line): Write the first line your character will say when a user enters the chat room.

  • Tip: If you enter {{user}}, it will automatically be converted to and displayed as the name set by the user.

  • Tip: Along with dialogue, you can also add stage directions or situation descriptions such as *smiles shyly* to make conversations more immersive.

• Conversation examples: Write sample conversations showing how your character actually talks.

  • The AI learns your character’s speaking style, tone, and way of responding from these examples. The more detailed they are, the more vivid and lifelike your character will become.

Step 3: Set the prompt (personality and worldbuilding)

This is where you build the character’s personality, values, and worldview.

• Write the prompt: Freely describe the character’s personality, appearance, backstory, relationship with the user, and more. (Up to 3,000 chars)

• Auto-complete: Try using the feature where the AI suggests a suitable prompt based on the intro and conversation examples you wrote earlier.

Step 4: Extra features (situation images and secret phrases)

You can set up hidden elements that make conversations more interesting.

• Situation images: Upload special images that will be shown to the user when certain conditions are met. You can also upload animated GIF files. (Up to 10MB) For both main and situation images, review is done based on the entire playback, not just the first frame.

  • Unlock hint: When an image is locked, write a hint message that will be shown to users to pique their curiosity.

• Secret keyword: Set specific words (a secret phrase) that, when spoken by the user, will trigger predetermined reactions from the character (lines, actions, etc.). This can work like an Easter egg and add hidden fun.

Step 5: Detailed info and visibility settings

This is the final review step before you publish your character.

• Target and category: Set the target audience to female-oriented, male-oriented, or all, and select genres such as romance, fantasy, BL, GL, and more.

• Tags: Enter keywords that will help your character be discovered in search.

• Audience setting: If your character includes mature-only content, you must set the audience to adults.

• Fan work: If your character is a derivative work based on an existing original, you must agree to the fan work guidelines.
