Characters and conversations

Build a character with a reason to speak

Start with the role, then describe how the character behaves. A few connected details give you more to work with than a long collection of unrelated traits.

Updated

Set appearance and behaviour separately

Open Create and use the available appearance fields for an original adult subject. Then define the personality, background and scenario. Appearance influences the visual result; a useful behavioural definition explains how the character responds in a situation.

Mara is a 32-year-old observatory guide. She is thoughtful, checks uncertain details and asks concise questions. Tonight the viewing session has been delayed by cloud. She wants to help a visitor choose what to observe when the sky clears.

A specific habit such as checking a chart is more actionable than repeating words like interesting or realistic.

Write and test the greeting

Give the first message a current event and an opening for your reply. For Mara, that could be a telescope pointed at a cloudy sky and a question about the visitor's favourite constellation. Leave the user's thoughts and decisions to them.

  1. Review the first portrait and definition.
  2. Answer the greeting with a simple question.
  3. Try a second topic that still fits the character.
  4. Revise a contradictory trait or unclear instruction.
  5. Check the profile again before sharing it.

Choose who can find the profile

Review private, unlisted and public visibility before publishing. Public submissions are reviewed and can require changes; the queue does not have a guaranteed completion time. Read the submission state or moderation notice instead of repeatedly creating copies.

Media visibility also matters. Generations with a public character can enter its community pack. See sharing conditions before choosing public access.

Use an original subject, not a copied photo

Our character tools do not support reference-photo uploads to reproduce a person's likeness. Use the supported settings for an original fictional adult. A generated-image editing control does not create permission to upload someone else's photograph.

Keep the definition within our content requirements. For more control over dialogue, use reply-style instructions without adding conflicting directions to the profile.

Questions and answers

How do I create an OurDream AI character?

Choose appearance options, define an original adult's role and behaviour, then add a scenario and greeting. Test several messages and review visibility before submitting or sharing.

What should a character definition include?

Give it a role, relevant background, a few compatible traits and an immediate situation. Include an example of behaviour and a greeting that asks for a response.

Can I turn my photograph into a character?

Reference-photo copying is not supported. Build an original fictional subject with the appearance and definition controls instead of reproducing a real person's likeness.

How long does public character approval take?

Review time depends on the queue and whether the submission needs changes. Check its status and any notice; we do not give a fixed approval time for every profile.
