Template-Chan

This is the most common format I use for botmaking. I haven't actually tried talking to it, and I'm not sure what the results will be, but that's not really what it's for. Note that if you are sensitive to even seeing either descriptions or (mostly) playful criticisms of some of the more common kinks you see on here, maybe skip the initial dialog. It isn't really meant to be interacted with anyway.

I'm going to lay out some notes here on formatting here, so you can just s select all/copy/paste the description box.

This is a formatting trick I learned from the golden age of the now-fallen Yodayo. You can save tokens by adding increased specificity within different kinds of brackets. The order goes [({ })]. If it helps to remember, it looks kind of like I imagine a cyborg's vagina would look - cold steel framing around smooth outer lips and quivering, grippy inner ones. All the categories in the template start with a pair of the outer brackers already present to write within. Separate each item with a comma. From there, you can write with increasing specificity. Note that you don't have to get down to {} very often, and if you only have one descriptor that does not need to be separated from the item it is describing by a comma to make sense, you can get away just fine with writing the item and that descriptor as one single thing. Here is an example:

Clothing[At work(lab coat, blue scrubs, flat shoes), during off hours(leather jacket{customized with a patch depicting a gorgon but with veiny dicks instead of snakes on the back}, tight jeans, knee boots{brown leather, tall heels}), cats eye glasses)]

Notes on example dialogue: Yes, there is a dialogue box. The tokens you put in that box are temporary, however. This is the reason that bots sometimes forget a part of their personality during long roleplays. As such, I always try and put at least one particularly characterful line of dialogue in the description box, and supplementals in dialogue. Just above Example dialogue is the best place to provide any descriptors of how a character talks. I don't know if this specific example would actually work, but I think you'll get the point. [the name of the character talks with a cartoonish, bad parody of an Italian accent.] Example dialogue: START (inside carrots in the actual template) {{The character's name here}}: "Hey-a! I'm-a fulfillin' my stereotype-a! Let's eat-a the spicy-a meatballs!" The last bits are qualifiers I use that seem to work better in the descriptor than if you put them in your presets. Don't ask me why. You want to put the name or names of any specific characters in here, even if it's their in-chat name. Saying, "the character ___," functions to make it apply to the listed character specifically rather that the entire card, and actually helps keep it from speaking for {{user}}.

ADVICE: This isn't strictly necessary, but if you want to optimize your experience, these are recommendations. To keep the bot from speaking for {{user}}: Avoid using, "{{user}}," or, "you," as much as possible in your openers. NEVER say something {{user}} says, thinks or does. The bot will take this as how it is supposed to speak, and will talk for you all the damn time. Likewise, avoid talking about {{user}} as much as possible in the description. You can usually get away with describing the character's relationship with {{user}} very briefly in, "Relationships[]," in a word or two, then using that description when talking about how the bot should interact with {{user}}. EXAMPLE - In this example, the character's name is Dorcus. Relationships[{{user}}(spouse)] Elsewhere in the description - "When Dorcus's spouse ties her up and plays with her butt, Dorcus orgasms immediately and squirts her entire body's content of liquid, shriveling to nothing but a dried husk. Dorcus's mummified, exsanguinated body will need to be submerged in a bathtub by her spouse to slowly absorb enough moisture to return to life." If you need a more detailed description of Dorcus and {{user}}'s relationship, put this in scenario. Honestly, this is really the only thing I use the scenario box for anymore, most of the time. Some things will tell you to put {{user}} dialogue in with {{Dorcus}}'s dialogue in the example dialogue to indicate how Dorcus should react to certain things. This is a trap. This is another surefire way for the bot to believe it's supposed to speak for {{user}}.
