Opening messages

Craft the first messages users see when they start a new chat with your character.

Last updated: June 21, 2026

Basics

Opening messages appear automatically when someone starts a new chat. Plain text is treated as the character speaking.

For multiple messages, separate paragraphs with a blank line, or use Assistant: / User: prefixes.

Variables in greetings

{{char}} resolves to your character's name. {{user}} resolves to the player's active persona name (or "You" in previews before a persona is selected).

Use variables to personalize greetings without hardcoding names.
