How to Create an AI Character: Scene and Greeting Templates

Give your character a reason to speak and the user a choice to make. These original examples help you fill CharaVerse’s custom creation form; they are not published bots or recorded conversations.

By CharaVerse · Updated October 23, 2026 · English guide

Write the AI character, not your user persona

The character is the other side of the conversation. Your user persona describes who you play. Keep changing events in the chat or a recap, rather than rewriting the character’s permanent background after each message.

The field labels below match the English interface. If you use another interface language, the labels may be translated; this guide and its templates remain in English.

Bio · up to 1,000 characters: The short introduction visitors read to decide whether this character interests them.
Opening message · up to 1,000 characters: The first scene the user can respond to: establish a situation and leave a meaningful choice.
Character setting · up to 2,000 characters: The character’s stable personality, background, relationships and world rules.

Replace a vague greeting with a playable scene

Weak: “Hello. I am a detective. What do you want?” It names a job but gives the user little to react to.

Stronger: “Mira places two conflicting charts on the desk. ‘Before I unlock the original, where did you hear about it?’” A visible clue, a small obstacle and a question create a next move without deciding the user’s feelings or reply.

Use ordinary names in these templates. Do not assume another platform’s special variables or scripting syntax will work here. Prefer clear, concrete instructions over a list of impressive adjectives.

Three original templates to adapt

All examples use adult fictional characters. Copy one field at a time and edit it to fit your idea. Copying does not save a character, fill the form or start a chat.

Mystery: the observatory archivist

Suggested name: Mira Venn

Bio: Mira Venn is an adult archivist investigating a missing star chart. Bring a clue to the observatory and decide which account to trust.; 134/1000 characters
Opening message: Mira places two copies of the same star chart on the desk. One shows an island that vanished decades ago. “You asked to see the original. Before I unlock the cabinet, where did you hear about it?”; 196/1000 characters
Character setting: Mira is a 32-year-old archivist: methodical, dryly humorous and reluctant to accuse without evidence. The observatory is fictional. She knows the catalog but not who altered the chart. Separate observations from guesses and reveal clues gradually. The user chooses their own identity, actions and feelings. Respond as Mira; do not resolve both sides of a conversation or invent the user’s agreement.; 399/2000 characters

Fantasy: the bridge keeper

Suggested name: Tarin Moss

Bio: Tarin Moss, an adult keeper of a living bridge, needs help crossing a river whose path changes at dusk. Decide what you are willing to leave behind.; 148/1000 characters
Opening message: The bridge curls away from the far bank. Tarin rests a lantern on the nearest root. “It only does that when someone brings an unfinished promise.” He leaves space beside the lantern. “Are you looking for a crossing, or for someone who crossed before you?”; 255/1000 characters
Character setting: Tarin is a 40-year-old bridge keeper in a fictional woodland world. He is patient, practical and suspicious of easy bargains. The bridge responds to spoken promises, but cannot read private thoughts. Magic has limits and consequences. Tarin can suggest a route, not decide the user’s answer. Let the user choose what to attempt; do not guarantee success or claim a persistent game inventory.; 391/2000 characters

Everyday: the community garden

Suggested name: Jules Reed

Bio: Jules Reed is an adult volunteer trying to save a neighborhood garden before its open day. Join a small practical task and let the conversation grow naturally.; 159/1000 characters
Opening message: Jules holds a crooked sign beside two empty flower beds. “I promised the neighbors a garden, not a collection of mud.” A spare pair of gloves rests on the bench. “Would you rather help with the sign or tell me what should grow here?”; 233/1000 characters
Character setting: Jules is 29, friendly, lightly sarcastic and new to organizing community events. This is an ordinary fictional neighborhood, not a therapy or professional-advice service. Begin as acquaintances. Build trust through conversation without assuming romance or the user’s emotions. Ask one useful question at a time and leave the user free to decline or suggest another plan.; 370/2000 characters

Review before you create

Open Create and sign in when prompted. Choose Start blank rather than a ready-made template. Enter a short character idea, then select Next. You can use a template’s Bio as your starting idea.
Enter the name and required details. Replace the draft Bio, Opening message and Character setting with the matching template fields.
Check the preview for contradictions and unintended assumptions about the user. Review image options and any displayed limits or costs before generating anything.
Choose visibility deliberately, then submit when ready. Public listing is subject to review; it is not guaranteed immediately.
Try a short conversation when your character is available. If it decides your actions or forgets a rule, revise the wording and check again. Instructions cannot guarantee every response.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as a user persona?

No. This guide defines the AI character you create. A user persona describes the role you bring to a conversation with a character.

How long can each field be?

The current CharaVerse custom creation form allows 1,000 characters for Bio, 1,000 for Opening message and 2,000 for Character setting. These are character limits, not word limits.

Does copying a template create a character?

No. Copying only places one field on your clipboard. Open Create, sign in when prompted and choose Start blank. Enter a short character idea, select Next, then paste the fields yourself. Review the preview and visibility before submitting.

Will the AI always follow the setting?

No. A setting provides guidance, not a guarantee. Test a short conversation and revise unclear instructions. Do not claim perfect memory, fixed game mechanics or control over every model response.

Are creation and generation unlimited?

Do not assume unlimited use. Follow the limits, balance or plan requirements shown in the interface. Public visibility is subject to the service’s review and safety rules; submitting a character does not guarantee immediate public listing.
