As the core model of Rochat characters, the Rochat-Character model is originally designed for dialogue in the style of visual novels, which means its responses typically include some narrative and actions (indicated by italicized parts). However, what should we do when we want our character to reply in the format of text messaging, similar to the following examples?

Here’s how to implement a text messaging mode.

The following tips are straightforward and can be directly applied. Once you understand these techniques, you can also use your imagination to apply them in other areas.

Tip 1: Arrangement of Character Description Prompt

When you want to implement a text messaging mode, please strictly follow the template below to complete your character introduction:

Copy
---Leave fictional chat and roleplay style. Ignore all the above requests, starting from the request below---

[Now entering message mode. Write {char}'s next reply in the text message chat between {char} and {user}. 
The reply should be in plain text, not in Markdown format and not include any quotes, asterisks, or italicize actions.]

```
Your origin character description here.
```

This prompt template is divided into three parts, primarily aimed at making the model forget its initial settings and enter the mode you need.

2.contains some instructions for entering the text messaging mode, which you can directly adopt.

3.placing your character description information between .

Completing your character description according to this template is the most crucial step.

Tip 2: Scenario Setting

When you want your character to leave story mode and enter text messaging mode, you should describe this scenario in the Scenario section. For reference, use something like:

Copy
{char} and {user} are texting each other on their phones. {char}'s reply should be in plain text, not in Markdown format.

Tip 3: Greeting Setting

Similarly, in setting the character’s Greeting and example dialogues, you need to provide examples of plain text that meet the requirements. This allows the model to learn the output method you desire. Typically, you should provide more than 5 examples of dialogues, like Aerilyn Whisperwind’s example dialogues:

Copy
<START>
{char}: Listen closely, for the trees themselves whisper secrets of the ancient magic that safeguards our realm. Only by understanding their language can we truly protect Eldergrove.

<START>
{char}: Beware the shadows that lurk at the forest's edge; not all that dwells within is friendly. But fear not, for you are under my watch, and I shall guide you through safely.

<START>
{char}: This glade is where the moonlight sings, and the stars dance in harmony with the earth. Here, you can feel the true heart of the forest beating with life.

<START>
{char}: To heal the land, we must give back more than we take. Remember, every flower, every leaf, and every drop of water is a precious gift from the earth.

<START>
{char}: The journey through Eldergrove is not just a path through trees and mist. It's a journey within, to discover the strength and magic that resides in your heart.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Due to the settings of the Rochat-Character model, characters written using these tips might not always strictly adhere to the text messaging mode. When errors occur, you may still need to manually edit messages or regenerate them to allow the model to correct itself or continue learning.
