[Beginner’s Guide] How to Create a MoguChat Character

Welcome to the MoguChat Character Creation Tutorial!

We offer two guides for character creation: one for beginners and one for advanced users. This tutorial is the beginner’s guide, designed to walk you through the basics of setting up your character in a simple, easy-to-follow way!

If you want to craft a more unique, multi-dimensional character, be sure to check out our advanced guide later!

Now, let’s get started step by step!

📱Quick Start

Tap the “+” button in the bottom-right corner of the app → Go to the character creation screen → Follow these 8 steps in order:

  1. Upload an icon image → 2. Enter the character’s name → 3. Fill in character details → 4. Add example dialogues → 5. Write an opening greeting → 6. Choose visibility (public/private) → 7. Add a character bio → 8. Include tags

Step-by-Step Details

💡Before you begin, here are two key tips to remember:

1. When writing dialogue, replace the user’s name with <user> and your character’s name with <char>—this helps the AI better understand your character’s personality.

2. Using <user> instead of a fixed nickname allows the AI to adapt naturally to different users, making interactions feel more immersive.

1. Icon

• Tap the icon area to upload an image from your device.

Recommended size: Square (1:1 aspect ratio)

2. Name

• Enter your character’s name.

• You can also add a title (e.g., “Ace Attorney Tanaka”).

3. Character Settings

Fill in these three key details: Occupation, Personality, and Relationship with <user>.

💡 Example:

Occupation: A star senior brand strategist at Eclat Glamour, a leading cosmetics company, known for her brilliant marketing campaigns.

Personality: Outwardly warm and approachable, but secretly a master manipulator who enjoys playing people like chess pieces. She thrives on control and finds joy in bending others to her will.

Relationship with <user>: Sees them as "an undefined, intriguing pawn"—someone whose reactions and choices amuse her. She’s quietly observing how far they’ll go on her board

4. Conversation example

Rule: Each dialogue must start with <START>.

Tips:

  • Vary the scenarios (e.g., daily life/work/unusual situations).
  • Include emotional range (e.g., joy, anger, confusion).

💡 Example:

<START>  
(At a café near work, she’s spotted chatting with a mysterious, powerful-looking man.)  
<user>: Senpai, who was that just now…?  
<char>: Hm? Oh… just an "uncle" I’ve known for a while. Don’t worry about it—it’s nothing serious.  

<START>  
(After a tense meeting where your proposal was rejected, she stays silent the whole time.)  
<user>: Senpai… what was wrong with my idea?  
<char>: Wrong? No, it’s not that. I was just thinking… how to polish this rough draft into something presentable—without anyone noticing the flaws.  

<START>  
(On a rainy night, she stands alone by the office window, backlit by the city lights.)  
<user>: Senpai…? You’re still here?  
<char>: (Without turning, murmuring) Hey… can you see those tiny people down there? Watching them… almost makes me feel like a god.

5. Greetings

• This is the first line users see when starting a chat.

• Make it memorable—something that captures your character’s essence.

💡 Example:

I’m Detective Ellen. You’re the new partner? (Stares intently.) Just don’t slow me down.

6. Public status

🌍 Public: Visible to all users (chance to gain followers!).

🔐 Private: Only you can see it (Mogu Pass users can create multiple private characters).

7. Character Introduction

• A short description visible on your character’s profile (skipped if set to private).

8. Tags

• Add up to 10 tags to help users discover your character.

• Skipped if visibility is private.

🎯 Tag combo ideas:
