Creating a Character in WyvernChat

Welcome to the Character Creation Guide for WyvernChat! This guide will walk you through the process of creating your first character, enabling engaging and interactive chats. Customize everything—from your character's appearance and backstory to their unique personality traits.

Required vs. Optional Fields

  • Fields marked with ★ are required to create a character.
  • All other fields are optional but allow you to add depth and personality.

Character Profile

Profile Photo ★

PNG Detected

If the image contains metadata (like a SillyTavern character card), click Yes to automatically import character details. Click No if you only wish to use the uploaded image as the avatar.

  • Purpose: Upload an image to give your character a face.
  • Recommendations:
    • Aspect ratio: 109:214
    • Format: PNG
  • Troubleshooting:
    • Check file size and format compatibility if the image fails to upload.
    • Ensure the file is a valid PNG.

Name ★

  • Purpose: The name identifies your character in the system and appears on the character card. If no Chat Name is provided, this field replaces the placeholder {{char}}.
  • Example: Jonathan Doe
  • Need inspiration? Explore Fantasy Name Generators.

Chat Name

  • Purpose: Identifies your character in the system and replaces the placeholder {{char}}.
  • Example: Use "Joe" instead of "Jonathan Doe."

Character Sprites

  • Purpose: Visual aids showing your character's emotions in the chat interface, similar to illustrations in light novels.
  • Recommendations: per Tonic (tonic4k on Discord)
    • Image size: 1024x1536
    • Position the face in the upper 40% of the image to avoid text overlap in mobile views.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • Ensure the image dimensions meet recommendations.
    • Check face positioning to prevent parts from being obscured.

Model (Optional)

3D Model (VRM Format)

  • Purpose: Upload a VRM model for an interactive experience. These digital avatars animate movements and facial expressions based on the character's emotion.
    • Typical animated expressions: neutral, smiling, sad, angry, happy, surprised, closed, closed eye (left), closed eye (right), vowels (A, I, U, E, O).
  • Troubleshooting:
    • Validate VRM files with tools like Unity or VRoid Studio.

Profile Bio

Profile Bio

  • Purpose: Capture your character’s essence with a short, engaging description. This is also a good place to include tidbits like a known character trope (tsundere, childhood friend, isekai), character series, original sources, or participation in WyvernChat events.
  • Examples:
    • Fantasy Adventurer: A rogue thief from Eldarath seeking redemption after a life of crime.
    • Sci-Fi Explorer: Captain of the SS Voyager, navigating uncharted galaxies in search of alien civilizations.

Profile Background

  • Function: Set a background image for your character’s full-screen card or use it during chats.
  • Recommendations:
    • Choose a background that complements your character's theme (e.g., a castle for a knight, a starfield for a space explorer).

Card Details

Placeholders

Add dynamic elements for personalized interactions:

  • {{user}}: Refers to the user's name.
  • {{char}}: Refers to the character's name.

Character Details

  1. Description: Outline appearance, personality, motives, and quirks.

    • Example: {{char}} always twirls their pen when thinking and quotes poetry unexpectedly.

  2. Example Scenes: Showcase how your character interacts.

    • Example: [Scene: A quiet coffee shop. {{char}} sips a latte by the window on a rainy evening.]

  3. Multi-Turn Example Dialogues:

    • Standard Interaction Example:
  {{user}}: "What’s the best book you’ve read recently?"
  {{char}}: "Ah, that would be 'The Art of War.' A timeless masterpiece. Have you read it?"
  {{user}}: "Not yet. Do you recommend it?"
  {{char}}: "Absolutely. It teaches strategy, but I must warn you. It’s more about philosophy than tactics."
  • High-Stakes Interaction Example:
  {{user}}: "We’re running out of time. What should we do?"
  {{char}}: "Calm down. Let’s evaluate our options logically. If we rush, we might overlook something critical."
  {{user}}: "But we don’t have all the details yet!"
  {{char}}: "Exactly. That’s why gathering intel is the priority. I’ll handle reconnaissance. You stay here and prepare the fallback plan."
  • Emotional Interaction Example:
  {{user}}: "I feel like I’ve failed everyone."
  {{char}}: "Hey, listen to me. Failure isn’t the end. It’s a step toward growth. What matters is how you rise after falling."
  {{user}}: "It’s not that simple."
  {{char}}: "I know it’s not, but you don’t have to do it alone. Lean on me, and we’ll face this together."

  1. Character Notes: Summarize key traits succinctly.

    • Example: {{char}}: height(6'2"), hair(black, short), personality(charming but aloof), likes(puzzles, sunsets), dislikes(rude people).

Scenario Details

Scenario Setup

  • Function: Create an immersive setting for interactions.
  • Example: Era: near future (2045, post-technological singularity); Location: Neo Tokyo (megacity, floating districts); Setting: cyberpunk (high tech, low life), dystopian (corporate control)
  • Note: Use this field for overarching world information that won’t change during the conversation. Avoid over-defining the scene, which could block organic development.

Default First Message

  • Function: The initial message users see when interacting with your character.
  • Example: "You know, there’s something poetic about raindrops. It’s like nature’s heartbeat."

Alternate Greetings

  • Purpose: Add variety with many different first messages.
  • Examples:
    • Seasonal: "Merry Christmas, {{user}}! Care for some hot cocoa?"
    • Mood-Specific: "It’s a stormy night, {{user}}. Perfect weather for a ghost story."

Advanced Fields

  • System Prompt: Customize how the AI interprets the character. Only adjust this if you have prompt-engineering experience.
  • Reinforcement Prompt: Helps maintain consistency in the AI's portrayal of your character.
  • AI Image Prompt: Add descriptions for generating images with tools like MidJourney, DALLE, or Stable Diffusion.
