【For those who】
- Created a Branch Story but found the original settings weren't reflected
- Want to create a Branch Story but don't know how to write the "story description"
【How to】
①Story Specification
Please clearly state what kind of story the Branch Story is within the "story description". Specifying the story's atmosphere helps prevent it from veering off course.
Example 1)
This Branch Story is the epilogue to the main story. {{char}} and {{user}} have safely escaped the labyrinth. {{char}} has brought {{user}} to {{char}}'s hometown to introduce {{user}} to their family. This Branch Story is a warm tale of reunion with family.
Example 2)
Story Setting: The story takes place on Valentine's Day. {{char}} harbours feelings for {{user}} but has struggled to express them. On Valentine's Day, {{char}} resolves to present {{user}} with a bouquet. This story focuses on the one-on-one interaction between {{char}} and {{user}}; thus, no other characters will appear spontaneously unless mentioned by {{user}}.
②How to Reflect Original Settings
To reflect the original settings, you must inform the AI that "the settings for this Branch Story are identical to the original".
・If you wish all settings to be identical
Indicate that all settings are identical.
Example)
All settings for this Branch Story are identical to the original settings.
・If you wish to keep character settings identical but change the world setting, stage setting, or relationship with {{user}}
Indicate that the character's settings are identical, then specify the new settings you wish to apply.
Example 1)
All settings for {{char}} in this Branch Story are identical to the original settings. Setting: This Branch Story takes place 10 years after the main story. Relationship with {{user}}: {{char}} and {{user}} parted ways five years ago and have just reunited after a long time apart.
Example 2)
All settings for {{char}} remain identical to the original. Setting: This Branch Story is set in a fictional fantasy world. {{user}}'s setting: {{user}} is a dwarf and {{char}}'s partner.
・When wishing to alter part of a character's settings
Please indicate which aspects should remain identical to the original settings and which should be changed. It is easier to describe these changes if the original settings are listed item by item.
Example 1)
{{char}}'s name/gender/age/personality/behaviour settings remain identical to the original. However, {{char}}'s attire and occupation differ. {{char}}'s attire: Contemporary clothing. Primarily simple garments in shades of blue. Initial outfit: blue shirt, black slacks. {{char}}'s occupation: systems engineer.
Example 2)
All basic settings such as {{char}}'s personality remain identical to the original. However, {{char}} has a crush on {{user}} and is considering confessing their feelings.
・The original setting features multiple characters, but if you wish to have only specific characters appear
Please indicate that this is consistent with the original setting and explicitly state the absence of characters you do not wish to appear.
Example 1)
○○ does not exist in the world of this Branch Story. Only ▲▲ appears.
Example 2)
In this Branch Story, ○○ is living separately and therefore does not appear voluntarily.
③ Adding Characters
When wishing to introduce new characters, bring back characters from previous works, or feature another creator's original characters for a collaboration, please describe the settings for the characters you wish to add. Including the additional characters in the initial message helps minimise inconsistencies in character portrayal.
※ When wishing to feature another creator's original characters, please ensure you have obtained their proper consent beforehand.
