Hey...

This is my second account, meant to post various NPC characters that you can easily 'plop' into your group chats. While experimenting with the idea of sandbox and multiple character scenarios, I found it harder to make LLMs, even big corpo ones, to stay in character that isn't written down or is a part of the RP from the start and keeps being there.

In my experience, the best way to introduce new characters into your chat that come and go, it's creating or downloading an NPC and create a group chat - that way you can make them leave for a time or permanently and put completely different characters after a while.

Of course, the larger the model, the less you need such things like NPC characters...

My idea what makes an NPC is a character that has enough personality and appearance traits to 'overtake' when introduced - small characters put into a long existing chat can be confused with previous events or descriptions. Also another thing is no references to {{user}}, no preexisting relationship along with no clear scenario introduced.

When managing a lot of possible NPC characters on your own, I would recommend tagging them in your SillyTavern as such, on the right panel for characters you have a Tag management button. That way you can easily hide them when not needed and bring only those on the list.

This account will also include some less effortful forks. Everything will be properly tagged, so don't worry; you can just block tags in the settings of your account and hide those pesky younger characters out. I will tag every character that is under 18 as 'underage', so that will be the easiest way to do so.
