A want
Give them something to chase.
A character who wants something walks into every scene with a reason to act. Write the want into the description, then the secret that complicates it.
AI character creator Write them once. They remember the rest.
Describe a character in a few lines and the storyteller fills in the rest: a name, a personality, a voice, and a greeting in their own words. Give them a portrait and a world of people around them, then play stories that remember every promise.

Name
Corin Vale
Description
A hooded cartographer who maps cities just before they fall. Patient, dry, impossible to rush; kind to strangers, merciless to liars, and never says how he knows.
Greeting · opening 1 of 3
He doesn’t look up from the map. “You came in by the north gate. Pity. It won’t be standing by spring.”

The short answer
How do you create an AI character?
Describe a character in a few lines and LoreWeaver’s storyteller fills in the rest for you to edit: a name, a description of their personality and past, the style rules that hold their voice, and a first greeting in their own words. Add a portrait, up to 10 greetings to start stories from, and lore cards for the people and places around them, or import a Tavern character card from SillyTavern, Chub, or Janitor AI instead. Creating characters is free on every plan, and every story you play with one keeps memories and a running recap.

The craft
What makes a character worth talking to.
Read the guide to character cardsA voice
Make them sound like no one else.
Rhythm, vocabulary, the things they never say. Style rules hold a voice steady, and a few lines of sample dialogue there teach it faster than any list of adjectives.
A first line
Open on a scene, not a hello.
A greeting that drops the player into a moment gives them something to answer. Write several, and each new story can begin somewhere different.
A world
Put people around them.
Lore cards for the sister, the old employer, the city that burned. Each one joins the scene when its name comes up, so the character’s past carries weight.
Limits
Know what they would never do.
Boundaries make a character believable. Write them into the style rules, which the storyteller reads before every reply, and they hold across a long story.
Memory
Let the story change them.
Memories and a running recap carry what happened between you, so trust has to be earned and a grudge can last. A character who remembers can change.
Field by field
What each part of a character does.
Describe the character and the storyteller fills in a name, a description, a tone, style rules, and one greeting. Everything after that is yours to rewrite, extend, or cut.
{{char}} and {{user}} work in the description, style rules, lore, and greetings, so a greeting can call whoever plays by the name they chose.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Character idea | A few lines about who they are, for the storyteller to build from. |
| Character image | Their portrait in your library and the Hub. Upload one, or generate it on Pro and up. |
| Name | Who they are, and what {{char}} becomes wherever it appears. |
| Description | Personality, looks, history, and how they treat people. Read before every reply. |
| Tone & genre | The mood of every scene, from dry comedy to gothic dread. |
| Style rules | How they speak and what they never do. The voice the storyteller holds. |
| Starters | Greetings in their words. Each starts a new story, and you pick the one to begin with. |
| Lore cards | The people, places, and secrets around them, recalled when named. |
| Persona | Who you are in the story. The storyteller always sees it. |
Importing instead
Already wrote them? Bring the card.
Drop a Tavern card from SillyTavern, Chub, Janitor AI, or RisuAI, as a PNG, JSON, or CHARX file. The definition becomes the description, every greeting becomes an opening, sample dialogue joins the style rules, and the lorebook becomes lore cards.
It arrives as a character of your own, with a first story already open on the card’s first greeting.
Drop a character card
PNG, JSON, or CHARX cards from SillyTavern, Chub, Janitor AI, RisuAI, and any app that uses the Tavern format.

Questions
Before you write your first character.
01What is an AI character creator?
A tool for writing a character an AI can play: who they are, how they speak, and how a conversation with them begins. In LoreWeaver each character is a world of its own, so the people and places around them live on lore cards and every story with them keeps memories.
02Can the AI write the character for me?
Yes, from a few lines. Describe the character and the storyteller fills in a name, a description, a tone, style rules, and a first greeting for you to edit. More greetings, lore cards, and the portrait are yours to add.
03Can I make a portrait for my character?
Yes. Upload any image on every plan, or on Pro and up, from $14.99 a month, generate one from the character’s description in styles such as painterly, anime, realistic, or watercolor.
04Can a character have more than one greeting?
Yes, up to 10. Each greeting is an opening of its own, and when you start a new story you choose which one it begins from.
05Can I import a character from SillyTavern, Chub, or Janitor AI?
Yes. Drop a Tavern card as a PNG, JSON, or CHARX file and the character arrives with its portrait, greetings, sample dialogue, and lorebook. Character.AI has no export, so start those characters from their description and greeting.
06Who do I play when I talk to my character?
Your persona: a name and a description of who you are in the story, which the storyteller always sees. Save as many personas as you like, make one your default, and switch for any story.
07Can I talk to my character out loud?
Yes. Start a voice call to speak with them and hear them answer, with captions, or have each reply read aloud. The free plan includes 10 minutes of calls a month.
08Can I share my character?
Yes. Publish it to the Hub and other players each get their own copy to talk with, while your conversations stay private. Publish only characters you made or have the creator’s permission to share.
09Is the AI character creator free?
Yes. Creating, importing, and publishing characters is free, and the free plan includes unlimited replies from the free storyteller plus 25 premium replies a day. Generated portraits come with Pro.
