Nectar Nectar Notes

Make a character

Write someone who has a reason to respond

The image introduces a character; their choices make them interesting to talk to. Connect the appearance, background and first meeting before you finish the companion.

Start a character
Appearance and character design options in Nectar's creation campaign

Review the visual identity first

Choose the available category and style, set an adult age and work through hair, eyes and the other appearance choices. These should describe the same person as the written profile.

Hair, eyes, ethnicity and body type are fixed after creation. Age, Personality, Greeting and additional traits have editing options subject to the access included in your plan.

Show how the personality works

A list of adjectives gives little indication of what a character does when something goes wrong. Add a habit, a meaningful interest and a relationship to the person entering the story.

Separate the fields and check sharing

  • Use Personality for temperament, history and relationships.
  • Use Greeting to start the actual conversation.
  • Author Comments address people reading the profile, not the fictional companion.
  • Review Visible to public? before finishing. A public submission is reviewed before it appears in discovery.

Test the behaviour in a small scene

If the character is reluctant to trust a stranger, introduce an uncertain proposal. If they are meant to notice details, give them one to notice. Edit the behaviour you see in the replies rather than adding a new adjective after every test.

Useful answers

Questions: Write an original companion

Is companion creation available without a paid plan?

Creation is included across plans, with the allowance shown in the account. Pro and higher plans offer unlimited companion creation; review the current limit before starting another character.

Which visual features cannot be changed later?

Hair, eyes, ethnicity and body type are fixed when you create the character. Confirm these before completion, even if you plan to keep refining the written personality.

How should I define a character's way of speaking?

Describe it in Personality with behaviour or examples that demonstrate the voice. Let Greeting put that voice into an actual encounter rather than repeating instructions.

Will the character be shared as soon as I finish?

Check Visible to public? yourself. A profile submitted for public discovery goes through review; do not place personal information in fields intended for sharing.
