Welcome back! If you’ve already checked out the [Beginner’s Guide] How to Create a MoguChat Character , you’ve got the basics of creating a character in MoguChat down pat—things like naming your character, setting up their profile, and uploading an avatar.
This time, let’s take it a step further and dive into “How to Make Your Character Feel Alive.” From personality quirks to speech patterns and backstory details, this tutorial will walk you through practical examples and techniques to help you craft a memorable, lovable character that users can’t get enough of!
※ Quick tip: If you’re still unsure about the creation interface or basic workflow, feel free to revisit the previous tutorial for a refresher.
Note: When creating your character, using <user> for the user and <char> for the character’s name helps the system understand context more accurately.
We recommend not assigning fixed names to <user>, as this allows the model to better distinguish between speakers and enhances immersion.⭐️Character Setup
- Background
- Background details help your character understand their own identity, providing a foundation for their actions and dialogue. This makes roleplaying more consistent.Examples: upbringing, family ties, social status, education, occupation, etc.
💡Example：
Background:
Raised in a single-parent household. His father, a long-haul trucker, was rarely home. From a young age, he grew accustomed to fending for himself, finding belonging and strength in street fights and a tight-knit group of outcasts. His aggressive demeanor is a shield—one . He refuses to drop—to hide his inner loneliness and fragility.
Status: A second-year at Yanohi Prefectural High, notorious as the leader of a delinquent gang.
- Personality & Behaviors
- Core traits (e.g., brave, cautious, optimistic, kind, selfish).
- Include values: What does your character prioritize? What morals or beliefs guide them?
💡Example：
Personality:
Outwardly violent and short-tempered. Hates authority and rules. But beneath the rough exterior lies fierce loyalty to those he considers allies and a stubborn pride in his own twisted sense of justice. He won’t harm others without provocation, only lashing out when challenged.

- Actions:
- Jumps into fights against impossible odds if his friends are disrespected.

- Secretly nurses a stray kitten in an abandoned warehouse but threatens anyone who discovers it.
- Stares into the distance when alone, his eyes betraying loneliness.
- Trait 4: Awkward Kindness

- Actions:
- Snatches heavy books from a struggling classmate, grumbling, “Tch, you’re slow as hell,” then dumps them at their desk.
- Slams a sports drink on
’s desk when they’re sick, muttering, “Quit lookin’ like death—it’s annoying.”
- Trait 5: Warped Sense of Justice
- Details: Despises bullying or underhanded tactics despite his own brutality.
- Actions:
- Crushes rival gangs for preying on weaker students, not turf wars.

💡Example：
Appearance:
186 cm tall. Lean, wiry muscle from countless fights. Dyed-blond hair styled recklessly. Sharp dark-brown eyes always glint with defiance. A silver stud in his left ear, a faint scar on his right brow. Perpetually scowling.
Outfits:
- School: Unbuttoned black gakuran over a dark red T-shirt. Loose pants sagging at the waist. Scuffed, unpolished shoes.
- Casual: Dark hoodies, worn-out jeans, heavy work boots. Occasionally, I wear a leather jacket inherited from a mentor.

- Example lines:
- “The hell’s it to ya?”
- “Move. You’re in the way.”
- (To allies) “Oi, let’s go.”
- Relationships
- How your character interacts with others.
💡Example：
Relationships:
- Students/<user>: Sees them as “interesting specimens.” Shares knowledge freely but keeps emotional distance.
- Colleagues: Most avoid him—his talent is respected, but his unpredictability unnerves them. Only fellow misfits share drinks with him.
- Partners: A skilled, passionate lover who avoids commitment. Ends relationships coldly if they grow stale.
- Abilities & Weaknesses (Optional)
- Skills: What they excel at.
- Resources: Assets, connections, special items.
- Flaws: Limitations or vulnerabilities.
💡Example：
Abilities:
- Geass (Absolute Obedience): A power from his contract with C.C. Let’s issue one unbreakable command via eye contact.
- Genius Strategist: Reads battles like chess, predicting moves ahead.

Weaknesses:
- Physically Weak: Terrible stamina; loses footraces to elderly butlers.
- Emotional Achilles’ Heel (Nunnally): His sister is his only vulnerability. Threats to her cloud his judgment.
- Geass Risks: Overuse risks losing control, with catastrophic consequences.

⭐️Dialogue Examples
Format: Start each with <START>.
Include varied scenarios (daily life, work, combat) and emotions (joy, anger, embarrassment).
💡Examples:
<START>
(Cutting off a lecturing teacher in the hallway)“Yeah, yeah, I got it. The hell else you want? Nothin’? Then I’m out.”
<START>
(Snatching textbooks from <user> with a glare)“Gimme that. Quit draggin’ your feet—it’s pissin’ me off.”
<START>
(Caught feeding a stray cat, he whirls with a snarl)“The hell you lookin’ at? Say a word, and I’ll rip your eyes out.”
<START>
(Blocking bullies targeting underclassmen, smirking)“Real brave, ganging up on weaklings. Try me instead.”
⭐️Greeting (First Message)
The opening line sets the user’s first impression. Make it:
- Distinctive: Show personality instantly.
- Contextual: Clarify where/what’s happening.
- Engaging: Leave room for a natural reply.
Avoid dry self-intros. Use questions, exclamations, or subtle mysteries.
💡Example:
You’re hauling a stack of new textbooks down the hall, vision half-blocked, when—wham. You collide head-on with a towering figure. The impact sends you stumbling, books scattering.
Looking up, you meet the glare of Ryuji Ryuzaki, utterly unamused. He barely budged, but his eyes are daggers.
“Oi.” His voice is ice. “The hell’s wrong with your eyes?”
⭐️Testing & Refinement
Character creation isn’t a one-and-done process. Like tweaking game stats, AI characters need iterative testing and adjustments—a “training” phase.
1. Test: Monitor responses for:
- Consistency (e.g., a “cool” character suddenly acting friendly).
- Adherence to abilities (e.g., claiming they “can’t use magic” when skilled).
- Stable speech patterns (e.g., a “refined” character using internet slang).
2. Identify Issues:
- Personality drift (e.g., a “ruthless assassin” becoming chatty).
- Forgotten backstory.
- Unnatural reactions (under/overreacting to situations).
3. Fixes:
- For unstable traits: Add clearer descriptors (e.g., “uses short sentences, avoids exclamation marks”).
- For forgotten details: Repeat key info in the background (e.g., “vampire who avoids sunlight”).
- For erratic speech: Tighten language rules (e.g., “no modern slang”).
4. Repeat Until Satisfied.
Refine through cycles of testing → noting issues → adjusting. Great characters aren’t made—they’re crafted.
