# Creating character

Creating a character allows you to craft a unique persona for chatting and role-playing. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click the “Create Character” button on the site’s main page.
2. In the “Basic Information” section, enter the character’s name in the “Name” field.
3. Select the description language, then enter a brief description of the character’s persona in the “Description” field.
4. In the “First Messages” section, choose the language for the initial message. You can add up to 10 options for each language.
5. Check the box next to “Default greeting for...” if you want to use the selected greeting by default.

> The first message is a greeting that sets the tone for the dialogue and influences the model’s behavior. We recommend creating at least one greeting in English.
>
> Use `*asterisks*` to highlight actions and `"quotes"` for spoken lines.
>
> Use the variables `{{user}}` to address the player and `{{char}}` to refer to the character.
