Creating a CharacterTalk Story

CharacterTalk Story Creation Guide

CharacterTalk Story Creation Guide In Story mode on POSTYPE CharacterTalk, you can create scenario-style roleplays that blend multiple characters and a shared universe. Unlike creating a single character, several characters appear together on the stage of a single world. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you create an engaging story.
 

Step 1: Set basic information (Required)

This is where you define the first impression of your story that users will see on the Explore page.

• Story image: Upload an image that will represent your story.
• Title: Write a title that reflects the identity of your story. (Up to 30 characters)
• One-line summary: Write a short phrase that summarizes your story. (Up to 80 characters)
  • Tip: Enter {{user}} to automatically convert it to the user’s chosen name when displayed.

Step 2: Set the universe and characters (Required)

This is the key step where you create the universe that will be the stage of your story, and the characters who will live and move within it.

• Universe prompt: Describe the setting that runs through the entire story, including background, era, mood, rules, and more.
• Characters: You can add up to 10 characters. For each character, write their name (up to 10 characters) and a prompt that includes their personality, appearance, relationships, etc.
  • Note: The total number of characters across the universe prompt and all character prompts combined can be up to 5,000 characters. The more characters you have, the more you’ll want to carefully divide and save space for each one.

Step 3: Write sample situations (Required)

This is where you create the opening scene that greets the user when the story begins, and where you train the characters’ speaking styles. 

• Intro: In the chat editor on the right, select a speaker from narration (stage directions), the user, and each character, then stack messages in order to build the first scene. (Total 1,000 characters)
  • Tip: If you describe the situation through narration and mix in each character’s dialogue, you can increase immersion in scenes where multiple characters appear together.
• Creator chat guide: You can write guidelines on how you’d like the conversation to flow.
• Recommended chat model & suggested replies: You can set a recommended chat model that fits this story, and provide suggested replies that users can refer to.

Step 4: Set stats (Required)

This step adds depth to relationships and narrative by setting values that change as the conversation progresses.

• Stat settings: You can set up to 3 stats per character, such as Affection, Trust, and Tension.
• Stages & ranges: Each stat is divided into 5 stages, and you can define value ranges to show how relationships change based on the conversation.

Step 5: Events and advanced features (Optional)

You can configure “hidden elements” that enrich your story. This is optional, so only use it if you want to.

You can add advanced effects that make conversations more interesting, such as events that trigger when certain conditions are met.

Step 6: Detailed info and visibility settings (Required)

This is the final review step before publishing your story.

• Story description: Write a text description that will appear on the story’s info page. (This is not reflected in the conversation prompts.)
• User age: If the content includes adults-only material, you must set this to “Adult”.
• Main audience: Set this to Female, Male, or All.
• Category: Choose from Romance / BL / GL / Fan works / Other.
• Tags: Enter up to 5 keywords that will help with search.
• Visibility: Choose Public or Private.
