Creating an AI character on LiveNovel takes a few minutes: you describe who the character is, set the scene they start in, generate an avatar, and choose whether to keep the character private or publish it to the community. This guide walks through each step and the choices that matter.
What should I decide before starting?
Decide two things: who this character is, and what the first moment of the story feels like. A clear persona and a strong opening scene do more for roleplay quality than a long list of traits.
How do I open the creator?
In Studio, open the character creator. This is where every field of the character lives, from its name to its first scene.
How do I write the persona?
Give the character a name, a short backstory, and a personality. Keep the persona specific and consistent — contradictions confuse the roleplay. Think about how the character speaks, what they want, and what they avoid.
How do I set the opening scene?
The opening scene is where players meet the character. Set the place, the mood, and the situation. A concrete opening ("late shift at a quiet clinic") beats a vague one ("somewhere") every time.
How do I generate an avatar?
Generate an avatar for the character. If the first result is not right, regenerate until the look matches the persona.
Should the character be private or public?
Choose whether the character stays private for your own play or is published to the community. Published characters go live only after they pass moderation.
How do I test the character?
Open the character in Telegram or the web Studio and start the scene. Play a few messages and adjust the persona if something feels off.
Frequently asked questions
How detailed should the persona be?
Specific but not bloated. A focused persona with clear wants and a strong voice roleplays better than a huge trait dump.
Can I edit a character after creating it?
Yes. You can refine the persona and regenerate the avatar. If it is published, changes are subject to moderation.
When will my published character be visible to others?
After it passes moderation. Only approved community characters appear publicly.
