Advanced settings

The quick-start character has five fields. The full editor has another dozen. Every one of them is optional; together they're how creators go from "works" to "consistently great".

Sample dialogue

A few short example exchanges that lock in the character's voice. The model treats these as canonical — when in doubt about how the character would phrase something, it falls back to the patterns in your samples.

Format:

[User]: How do you feel about being asked that?
[Mira]: I notice I am not answering. (looks back at the dust)

Three to six exchanges is the sweet spot. More than ten and you saturate the context budget on examples instead of conversation.

What to include:

• One mundane exchange (sets baseline voice)
• One emotionally loaded exchange (shows how they handle stakes)
• One refusal (shows what they won't do)

Scenarios

Full scenario guide →. The editor lets you author multiple scenarios per character:

• Name — short label players see
• Description — internal note (1 line)
• Greeting — first message the user sees in this scenario
• Context — invisible background the model sees on every reply

Three scenarios = three openings for the same character. Worth the effort for any character you want users to chat with more than once.

System prompt (advanced)

For creators who want fine control, the system prompt lets you write the literal text the model reads as instructions. By default, Reverie composes this for you from the other fields. Toggle Custom system prompt to override.

Common uses:

• Force the character to maintain a particular knowledge boundary. "Never references events after 1947."
• Lock in narrative voice. "All replies are written in present tense, third person."
• Permit/forbid specific behaviour. "Never asks the user 'what do you want to talk about'."

Be careful — a custom system prompt overrides Reverie's defaults that make the character behave sensibly in group chats, plugin contexts, etc.

Formatting rules

Short rules about how replies should be formatted, not what they should say:

• Wrap action in asterisks (*she walks to the window*)
• Max 200 words per reply
• No markdown — plain text only
• Always end with a question (or never, for taciturn characters)

These ship into every reply and shape the look of the conversation without changing the voice.

NSFW guidelines

For NSFW characters, an additional field for intimacy guidelines. Specify the character's pace, preferences, hard limits — in the character's voice, not as a policy document. See Custom styling for examples.

Background image

A wide image used as a banner on the character profile. 1920×1080 recommended. Shows behind the avatar on profile pages and in story-mode cinematic cards.

Pre-installed plugins

A creator-only feature: pre-install plugins on your character so every user gets them automatically. RPG characters can ship with stat tracker, dice, inventory. Language tutors can ship with vocab tracker.

Voice

Pick a voice from the voice picker. Reverie offers Edge TTS (free, 17+ languages) and MiniMax (premium, emotion-aware). Users can override per character if they don't like your default.

Hashtags

Up to 8 hashtags. The discovery algorithm penalises mismatched tags — only tag what's actually true of the character.

Public/private + content rating

• Private — only you can chat. Useful for OCs you don't want to share.
• Public — everyone can find via discovery.
• Unlisted — only people with the link can find it.

Content rating: SFW, NSFW, or Both. Both means the character can pivot based on the user's content filter setting.
