FAQ
Everything about the character creator.
Ownership, NSFW, models, monetization — the questions creators actually ask.
01How long does it take to create a character?+
A name, a paragraph of personality and an avatar are enough to start chatting, which takes a minute or two. Most of the craft comes after: test-chat it, adjust the voice, and add greetings and example dialogue.
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. Mark a character as 18+ and it is shown only to signed-in users who have confirmed their age and turned 18+ on; everyone else never sees it. A character can also carry extra 18+ guidance that applies only in those chats.
04How do creator rewards work?+
With 3 or more public characters you can apply to the creator program. Approved creators earn 5% of the paid credits other people spend on each public character, counted above 1,000,000 paid credits a month per character and paid monthly as platform credits. Free credits don't count. Details are on For creators.
05Which AI models can I choose from?+
Each character can have a default model: DeepSeek, GLM (Z.AI), MiMo (Xiaomi) or the free model. Anyone chatting with it can still switch, and members can also pick advanced models such as Gemini (Google). The current lineup, with win rates from side-by-side comparisons, is on AI models.
06Can I import characters from Character.AI or other platforms?+
SillyTavern and Chub character cards (PNG or JSON, V1–V3) import directly, with greetings, example dialogue and lorebooks: see the character importer. For a Character.AI or Janitor character, paste its description or upload screenshots into the AI chat builder. Character.AI chats move with the chat history importer.
07Do I need prompt engineering skills?+
No. If you can describe a character to a friend in a few sentences, you can build one in Reverie. Advanced creators can still write their own system prompt, reply format and example dialogue.
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.
