Multiple Characters & Supporting Cast

Two approaches for richer scenes.

If you want your roleplay to include other characters beyond the main one, you have two approaches.

Approach 1 — Supporting cast in the backstory

Mention important people in the character's life in the backstory.

In-line
Has a best friend named Priya who's brutally honest. His ex-girlfriend Maya still texts him sometimes.

Approach 2 — The CREATOR_SUPPORTING_CAST tag

For more control, use the creator tag in your description:

Tag
CREATOR_SUPPORTING_CAST: Marcus, gallery owner, pretentious but well-connected. Priya, Elena's best friend, supportive but brutally honest. Sam, Elena's ex, avoidant and passive.

Key rules for multiple characters

  • Keep each character's information clearly distinct.
  • Refer to each by name, not as {{char}}.
  • The main character remains the focus.
  • Don't overload. Two or three supporting characters is usually enough. More than that and the AI starts mixing them up.
