FAQ
Everything about the character creator.
Ownership, NSFW, models, monetization — the questions creators actually ask.
01How long does it take to create a character?+
The minimum viable character takes about 60 seconds — name, a paragraph of personality, an avatar, done. Most creators spend 15–30 minutes on their first character. Power users iterate for hours, tweaking voice, memory weights, and conversation tone.
02Do I own the characters I create?+
Yes. You retain ownership of the characters you create on Reverie. You can delete them, edit them, keep them private, or publish them. If you publish, you grant Reverie a license to host and serve the character on our platform — but you can revoke that any time by unpublishing or deleting.
03Can my characters be NSFW?+
Yes, with a login gate. You can mark characters as NSFW when publishing — they'll only be visible and chat-capable for signed-in adult users. SFW characters are visible to everyone. Mixing is allowed: a character can have a SFW public-facing personality and an NSFW-capable mode for signed-in users.
04How does the credit flow-back work?+
When others chat with your published characters in premium conversations, 5% of the credits they consume flow back into your account — as platform credits spendable on Reverie, not currently withdrawable as cash. We track it transparently per character: chats, fans, and credits earned. For most active creators it's enough to cover their own daily conversations without topping up.
05Which AI models can I choose from?+
Per character, you can choose between Gemini 3 (Google), DeepSeek V4 / R1, GLM 5 (Z.AI), and MiMo V2 (Xiaomi). Different models have different strengths — Gemini 3 for long context and vision, DeepSeek R1 for reasoning, GLM 5 for nuanced dialogue, MiMo V2 for fast everyday chat.
06Can I import characters from Character.AI or other platforms?+
We import SillyTavern v2 character cards (PNG or JSON) directly. For characters built in Claude clients or any SKILL.md-compatible workflow, our Claude Skill importer brings them in via the public /api/v1 endpoint. Imported characters convert to Reverie's format and unlock features like long-term memory and forking that the source platform may not support.
07Do I need prompt engineering skills?+
No. The creator is designed for writers. If you can describe a character to a friend in a few sentences, you can build one in Reverie. Advanced users can still hand-tune system prompts, memory weights, and example dialogues if they want.
08Can I keep characters private?+
Yes. Every character is private by default and only visible to you. Publishing is a separate, explicit action. You can also create unlisted characters — accessible only via direct link — for sharing with a small circle.
