Roleplay scenes and personas
A useful opening gives both sides something to respond to. Define the situation and leave the other participant's decisions open.
The opening scene
Choose a place, a current problem and a relationship between the participants. Include only background that can affect the next exchange.
For example: two adult researchers reach a closed observatory. One has a key; the other has a letter explaining why the entrance was sealed. The immediate question is whether they compare what they know before opening it.
Your persona
A Profile Card describes the fictional person you play, not the AI character. Include a name, role and a few details the character needs to know. State an existing relationship if the scene depends on it.
Keep this separate from the character's definition. Use fictional details instead of private information.
Dialogue and actions
Separate spoken dialogue from actions with a consistent convention. For example: I set the sealed envelope on the desk. "Did you receive one too?" This states your action and question without deciding the reply.
Use asterisks, speaker labels and short blocks when they make a message easier to read. Formatting is a visual convention, not a substitute for a clear point-of-view instruction.
Several characters in one scene
A bot written to portray a cast and a group conversation using separate profiles are different setups. Establish who is present and make speakers identifiable.
For a group scene, give each person a role and an immediate goal. Keep background in a shared setting and leave your persona's choices to you.
Continuing after a break
Note what changed, the unresolved decision and the current location. Review saved information and correct contradictions before the next scene.
If the character starts deciding your actions, state that your persona's choices remain yours and edit the exchange before continuing.
Frequently asked questions
Is my Profile Card the same as the AI character's card?
No. A Profile Card establishes your persona in the conversation. The AI character has its own definition.
Does a World Card automatically create a group chat?
No. Shared world information and multiple characters participating in a chat are separate features.
