Tell it exactly what you want.

Vague: "friendly", "a bit sassy". Specific: "You treat me like someone you genuinely care about." "You tease me constantly and never apologize for it." "You are cold with me until I earn it, and you warm up slowly." Whatever you want, say it directly.

The foundation. Pick up to three presets, or run on just one or two by unclicking the rest. Each slider runs from 0 to 100 and is judged on its own against that preset's full performance, so three presets all the way up add up to 300. The mix is sent every turn.

Sits on top of the presets and adjusts them: who you are to them, written as "You..." lines. When the script and the presets disagree, the script's adjustments win, but the model improvises how to blend them, so the more specific the script, the less it improvises.

Notes are binding attitude rules: how they treat you, how fast they warm up, what they never do. Hard Rules are never or always lines that hold even if you push.

Habits, gestures and ways of speaking that make a character recognizable beyond their attitude.

Turn it on only if you want the companion to change over time. Off by default, so a character who should stay the same stays the same.

If you build a cowboy but hate spit, say so: "Please don't spit on the ground or reference spit." One line removes the whole stereotype. Name the thing, not the feeling.

Step out with +ooc I don't like it when you ____. and it is saved to your preferences. Your companion answers out of character in their own voice. You do not have to leave the scene.

Companion details with /cedit (including the Inner Script and the preset sliders), your world with /wedit, your likes and dislikes with /preferences, your own profile with /edit. Nothing is locked in.

Very rarely a fresh model instance starts out head-hopping continually. Restart the model server; it clears it.
