Storychat User Guide

1. Character Creation & Settings

Q. What fields are required to create a Character?

A. At minimum, you need a Name, Profile Image, and First Message.

Other fields (Background Image, Description, Category, NSFW settings, etc.) are optional but help increase visibility and appeal.

Q. What is the “First Message”?

A. It’s the very first thing your Character says in a new chat.

It sets the tone and scenario, so we recommend making it short, engaging, and relevant.

Q. What’s the difference between Visibility and NSFW settings?

A. Visibility → Sets your Character to Public (shown in Explore) or Private (only visible to you).

NSFW → Marks the Character as mature content; only visible to users with Safe Mode turned off, and hidden from Explore.

Excessively explicit or guideline‑violating NSFW content may be removed without warning.

Q. What does “Continue from a Previous Chat” do?

A. It lets you start a new Storychat using a past chat as background context, so you can continue the same storyline instead of starting over.

Great for creating ongoing narratives and linking them into a Series.
