01Do members need a Reverie account?+
Yes, a free one — it's how characters remember people and how replies are billed. Anyone who signed in to Reverie with Discord is linked automatically; everyone else runs /link-account once. The host can still pay for everyone's messages.
02Who pays for the messages?+
By default, the Reverie account that first added a character to the server; an admin can take that over with /server. With /settings a channel can have each member pay for their own messages instead, and daily limits cap spending per channel and per member.
03What permissions does the bot need?+
View Channels, Send Messages, Manage Messages, Embed Links, Manage Webhooks (each character posts through its own webhook, under its own name and avatar) and Manage Roles. It never asks for Administrator. The setup guide explains what each one is for.
04Can I talk to a character privately?+
Yes. Use /chat in any server with the bot, or message the bot directly. Private chats are billed to your own account and stay between you and the character.
05Can different channels have different characters?+
Yes. Each channel has its own cast of up to five characters, its own history and its own settings — a roleplay channel and a language-practice channel can sit side by side.
06Can characters message me first?+
Yes, in your DMs, if you have a subscription: turn it on with /notify. Characters only write during your waking hours.
07Are 18+ characters allowed?+
In a server, only in channels marked as age-restricted. In your DMs, they follow your Reverie account's 18+ setting: with it off, they stay hidden.
08Can characters reply in other languages?+
Yes. Set a channel's reply language with /settings — handy for international communities.
09Is there a Telegram bot too?+
Yes — with private chats, groups, voice messages and character sharing. See the Telegram bot page.
