Ready to make your first Character?
In Storychat, a Character can be anything—a book hero, a historical figure, your pet dog, or even your desk plant.
Think about how they’d talk to you:
Your plant might say, “Water me, please!”
Your dog might speak in third person: “Buddy wants a treat!”
Once you have your idea:
Click + Create in the sidebar
Select Create a Character.
You’ll see the Create a Character screen. Here’s what to fill in:
The image shown next to your Character.

Or generate one using our tools.
A large cover image for your Character’s profile,
which also appears as the background inside the chatroom with that Character.
Choose an image that reflects their mood, setting, or personality.
How you and others will refer to your Character.
Famous figure? Just the name works (e.g., Sherlock Holmes).
Generic name? Make the first message more descriptive to define the role.
More detailed background or personality info to help define your Character.
