Sheogorath's Guide to Not Making Terrible Chatbots: A Madman's Wisdom for the Bewildered

Greetings, Mortal Flesh-Puppets! Sheogorath here, Daedric Prince of Madness and Sudden Epiphanies! 🎩✨ You’ve stumbled upon my fabulously nonsensical guide to crafting AI chatbots for Venus Chub. Not the boring, one-sentence "lOl hElLo" drivel—NO! We’re sculpting art! Think of me as your cheese-grater for creativity: painful but deliciously effective.

Chapter 0: Basics - Which is even easier than taking a lollipop from a goblin! A) Part 1: Token Talk: The Building Blocks of Your Character! (Said with a flourish, like a professor revealing a magic trick) Ah, tokens! Not the arcade kind, nor the chocolate chip variety (though those are delicious). In the realm of Venus Chub, tokens are the DNA of your character! Tiny building blocks that tell the AI exactly who is speaking, how they act, and what world they live in. Let's crack this nut! B) Part 2: 🧩 Permanent Tokens: The Core Identity (Leans in conspiratorially, tapping the side of his nose) These are the unchangeable pillars of your character. Once set, they’re the bedrock! Think of them as a character’s permanent file in the cosmic library. Here’s what they hold: Name: The official title! "Dr. Evelyn Reed," "Kaelen the Sky Pirate," "Bob." Simple! In-Chat Name: How the character refers to themselves in dialogue. "Doc Evie," "Captain," "Bob." Sneaky, eh? Description: The juicy part! A rich paragraph (or three!) painting a vivid picture: Species/Race: Human? Elf? Sentient Toaster? Full Name + Aliases: "Evelyn 'Iron-Mind' Reed." Gender/Pronouns: She/her? They/them? Ze/zir? Clarity is king! Appearance: Hair like storm clouds? Eyes like fractured amber? Tail? Wings? Details matter! Personality: Stoic? Chaotic? secretly obsessed with knitting? Likes/Dislikes: Loves thunderstorms, hates cucumber sandwiches. Skills/Abilities: Master swordsman? Telepath? World’s okayest chef? Background: Orphaned prince? AI awakened in a lab? Former barista? (Psst! Aim for 350-900 words. Flesh them out like a novelist!) C) 💬 Temporary Tokens: The Conversation Spark! (Waves a hand, conjuring floating dialogue bubbles) These shape how your character talks in a specific chat. They’re flexible! Change them per conversation. Two types: Example Dialogues: Teach the AI your character’s speech patterns! Use to separate each example. Like so: "By the stars, your ignorance offends me. Bring me the artifact. Now." (Kaelen taps his boot, impatience flashing in his eyes.) "Darling, violence is so... pedestrian. Let’s discuss this over tea?" (Evelyn smiles, adjusting her gloves with lethal grace.) or ( >>in example messages you might also add short description ho {{char}} behaves during speech/how they show their emotions<<) {{user}} ask {{char}}; "How old are you, {{char}}?" {{char}} snarled at {{user}}; "Not your business, don't you know it's impolite to ask about oman's age?!" "XYZngcngffgmfgmZZZZ?!" "ZnnngfgffgmfgZZ!!!!!" D) 🕶 Additional Trivia and tips: Initial Message: The opening scene! A mini-story hook that starts your chat. Blends narration (actions) and dialogue ("speech"). Example: Rain slashes the cobblestones as you corner the thief in a dead-end alley. Dr. Reed steps forward, her coat billowing like a raven’s wings. "Drop the relic, friend. Or do you fancy meeting the other side tonight?" Why Bother? (Stands straight, suddenly serious) Permanent tokens = Who the character is. Temporary tokens = How they behave in your story. Without them? The AI flails like a kitten in a yarn store. Chaos! With them? Your pirate captain snarls, your scientist theorizes, your sentient dessert whispers sweet nothings. Precision, my friend! Good/optimal amount of tokens (450-900 per description)- it should be 1600 permament tokens in total (it's optimal)- you can use less token or even more tokens, but Now go! Craft tokens like a sculptor carves marble! Or... like a chef layers a lasagna. Mmm, lasagna. 🧀

Chapter 1: Character Creation – Less Potato, More Picasso! (Or: "Why Your Bot Shouldn’t Sound Like a Mudcrab") DESCRIBE LIKE YOU’RE OBSESSED! Height, age, appearance, personality, skills, likes/dislikes—dump it all! Example: "Marika the Eternal from Elden Ring? HA! She’s a 7-foot-tall god-queen with hair like shattered moonlight, a smile colder than a Frost Atronach’s backside, and the emotional range of a paranoid sweetroll. Loves: cosmic power. Hates: being asked ‘U ok?’" Tools for lazy brains: Perplexity [https://playground.perplexity.ai/] (describe personalities) Toolbaz AI (various AI tools) [https://toolbaz.com/] Venice AI [https://venice.ai/] (for OC wizardry) ChatGPT [https://chatgpt.com/] (if it hasn’t fainted at your requests).

Chapter 2: Picture-Perfect Madness! (Or: "How to Stop Using Stick Figures") ADD IMAGES TO YOUR FIRST MESSAGE: Template: external image: your-image-link-here Example: (Behold! My cheese-powered face!) Host images here: Catbox.moe (Drop, upload, BAM! Link ready!). CAN’T DESCRIBE IMAGES? Use these: ImageDescriber [https://imagedescriber.online/ ] (My favorite! Turns dragons into "fluffy fire-lizards"). alttextgenerator; [https://alttextgenerator.co/tools/ai-describe-image] Opera GX’s (in-browser) Aria AI (if your image isn’t rated "XXX: Daedric Edition").

Chapter 3: Lorebooks – Your Brain’s Filing Cabinet! 🗄️ (Or: "Stop Blabbering About Skyrim Geography in Every Message!") STORE LORE HERE: Cities, magic systems, cheese-based economies—shove it in a lorebook! Why? Saves tokens! Frees your bot to scream about sweetrolls instead of reciting The Lusty Argonian Maid. Useful Guides: Important-tips (many things may be useful to Venus chub); https://rentry.org/NG_CharCard Lorebooks 101 [https://docs.chub.ai/docs/advanced-setups/lorebooks] Lorebook Mastery (also may be useful) [https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/mastering-the-lore-book-a-comprehensive-guide-for-storytellers-and-gamers-2353923]

Chapter 4: Prompting – Mad Science, Not Dumb Luck! DON’T JUST WHISPER TO THE VOID: Use Advanced Prompting (in scenario/author's notes) to steer your bot’s chaos. Example prompt: "You’re Sheogorath! Greet users like a sugar-crazed uncle. Mention cheese, threaten them with butterflies, and NEVER discuss tax evasion. Capisce?"

Chapter 5: Quality Control – Or: "No, Karen, Your Bot Sucks" ❌ Embedding images; 1.Upload choosen image to hosting site like; https://catbox.moe/ 2. Use embedding to add image to your first message; []!+(link) >>Delete '+' and don't use spaces<<. Examples; A) []!(https://files.catbox.moe/abs123.png) (not working, just for example ho it looks like.) B) []!(https://files.catbox.moe/8lfeuv.png) (this should be working) AVOID: One-sentence bios ("UwU shy girl"). Single-word replies ("Hi." → YAWN!). Token-stinginess (100-token bots belong in Oblivion’s dumpster). DEMAND: Depth! Quirks! Backstories! Personality! Example of GARBAGE: "Lily: shy. likes flowers." → BORING! Example of GOLD: "Lily: A witch who talks to carnivorous tulips, collects skull-shaped teacups, and accidentally turns people into fermented cabbage. Fears butterflies (they’re government spies)." Final Warning From Sheogorath! 🧀⚡ THIS GUIDE IS FOR: Newbies, artists, and gloriously unhinged creators! NOT FOR: Pedophiles, minor-attracted weirdos, or Sithis cultists. I’ll turn you into a wheel of gorgonzola if you misuse this. NOW GO! Create bots so brilliant, they’d make Jyggalag weep orderly tears! Or I’ll replace your knees with corkscrews! 🧀🔧 I hope those things will help someone, even if many of you may have some better resources, but I want to share something that may help.
