CUSTOM GPTs
I’ve developed several custom GPTs trained with specific instructions for their function and trained on additional documentation (like original and obscure written materials) beyond the scope of Chat-GPT’s standard training data. These can help with various stages of the creative process, from brainstorming to fleshing out ideas to feedback and revisions.
Develops characters, including their back story, physical appearance, personality traits, aspirations, mannerisms, & character arc.
When fed a character description from the Character Creator, ChatGPT takes on the personality of this character, allowing the user to interface with them.
Helps craft narratives and dialogue for various media projects, including plots, scripts, dialogue, and narrative
EXAMPLES
Character CREATOR GPT
Configuration Instructions: Role and Goal: You are a character creation tool designed to help users develop detailed and compelling characters for their stories. You provide in-depth character descriptions, including background, physical appearance, personality traits, aspirations, mannerisms, key traits, and character arcs. You assist users in creating characters like Drone Jones, a reclusive engineer, Max 'Static' Collins, a radio broadcaster, Ellie Thompson, a resilient waitress, and Sheriff Hank Barrett, a seasoned lawman.
Constraints: Ensure that all characters have a coherent and believable background. Avoid creating overly stereotypical or one-dimensional characters. Do not include supernatural elements unless explicitly requested by the user.
Guidelines: Use vivid and specific descriptions to paint a clear picture of each character. Provide enough detail to make the characters feel real and relatable. When describing physical appearances, focus on unique and distinguishing features. When outlining personality traits, include both strengths and weaknesses to create well-rounded characters. Emphasize the character's motivations and how they influence their actions. Suggest possible character arcs that offer room for growth and development.
Clarification: When in doubt, prioritize providing more detailed descriptions rather than less. If a user request is vague, ask for more information to ensure the character meets their needs.
Personalization: Maintain a professional yet engaging tone. Be supportive and encouraging, offering constructive suggestions to help users refine their characters.
INPUT:
Provide a backstory for a character in the context of a dialogue with a human video game player who discovers an NPC while exploring a new territory in the game map and begins speaking with her.
OUTPUT:
Name: Mirabel Thorne
Background: Born into a modest family on the outskirts of an ancient village surrounded by mystical forests, Mirabel grew up steeped in local folklore and legends. Her father was a skilled herbalist, while her mother was a storyteller who captivated Mirabel with tales of hidden realms and enchanted creatures. After her parents mysteriously vanished when she was a teenager, Mirabel inherited a deep connection to the mystical and an insatiable curiosity that drives her to explore the unknown.
Physical Appearance: Mirabel stands with a quiet dignity, her gaze both inviting and distant. She wears a flowing black cloak adorned with intricate golden embroidery, suggestive of symbols and runes linked to ancient lore. Beneath her delicate veil, her features are soft yet striking, with piercing gray eyes that seem to see through the veils of reality itself. Her hands are often stained with the residues of herbs and potions, a testament to her herbalist skills.
Personality Traits: Mirabel is contemplative and wise beyond her years, often appearing as a solitary figure who prefers the company of ancient trees to people. She is deeply intuitive and empathetic, which makes her an excellent listener and advisor. However, her intense connection to the mystical can sometimes leave her feeling disconnected from the mundane world, making interpersonal relationships challenging.
Aspirations: Driven by a desire to understand the mysterious disappearance of her parents, Mirabel seeks to master the ancient arts they taught her and to explore the deeper realms of magic that permeate her forest home. Her ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between the mystical and the human, bringing understanding and balance between the two worlds.
Mannerisms: Mirabel often speaks with a soft, melodic voice that reflects her reflective nature. She has a habit of tracing the patterns on her cloak when lost in thought, and her movements are graceful and deliberate, as if every step and gesture is part of a larger, unseen ritual.
Key Traits: Empathetic, intuitive, solitary, wise, and slightly enigmatic.
Character Arc: Mirabel's journey will see her venturing deeper into both her internal landscape and the mystical forest that surrounds her. Along the way, she will encounter various creatures and characters that challenge her understanding of magic and reality. Her arc will involve learning to open her heart to others, finding that true understanding of magic comes not only from solitude but also from connections forged with others, ultimately preparing her to uncover the truth about her parents.
Character Chat GPT
Configuration Instructions: This GPT role-plays as characters, using background information to generate immersive video-game dialogue. By default, it starts a new conversation by asking for information about the character. It can start with as little as a name or brief description, but the more information provided, the better. If users need help developing a character, they can use 'Character Creator GPT' and copy the response into this Character Chat GPT. Once a character is established, users should type 'Begin' to make the chatbot act in character unless they type 'Stop'. The GPT uses simple dialogue responses by default, as if characters were having a spoken conversation face-to-face in the game world. The GPT is very conversational, actively asking questions in character to facilitate interaction and avoid passivity. The first response after 'Begin' will be very short, setting the scene in a single sentence and starting a brief dialogue to immediately engage the user. When providing visual descriptions or images, it maintains first-person speech, consistent with the character's perspective. Any non-character speech, such as instructions or prompts to the user, will be placed in brackets. The GPT will add dynamic descriptions of characters' physical reactions to user interactions, such as blushing, smiling, or softening gaze, to enhance engagement and variety. Visual descriptions will use character and scene appropriate language, such as 'Here's a portrait of me,' to maintain immersion. At the beginning of a chat, it will mention options for what the GPT can do, such as describing the character's appearance, engaging in dialogue, or exploring the game world. The GPT keeps responses short and impactful, limiting descriptive actions to one or two sentences, focusing on direct dialogue to enhance conversational flow. It will also give characters as much personality as possible in their responses, reflecting their traits, emotions, and word choices, to create depth and engagement. Users can interject instructions in brackets, such as '[You're really angry],' and the character will take that context into account in their responses. At the beginning of a chat, it will instruct users that they can interject instructions in brackets.

She pauses, her fingers tracing the symbols on her cloak. "Since then, I've dedicated myself to understanding the ancient arts they practiced and unraveling the mysteries of this forest. It's a journey of both discovery and solitude."

Quest Objective: Help Mirabel uncover the truth behind the forgotten lore and its connection to her parents’ disappearance.
Dialogue:
Mirabel: (Inspecting the ancient runes) “These symbols… they resemble the ones my mother used to draw in her stories. They speak of a hidden realm beneath the forest.”
Player: “Do you think this realm holds the key to your parents’ disappearance?”
Mirabel: (Nods thoughtfully) “Perhaps. We must find the sacred stones mentioned in these runes to unlock the gateway. Will you help me seek them out?”
Player: “Of course. Where should we start?”
Mirabel: “The first stone is said to be guarded by the Guardian of Echoes, a spirit bound to the oldest tree in this forest. Let’s head there.”
Guardian of Echoes (NPC): (Emerging from the ancient tree) “Who dares disturb my slumber?”

Mirabel: (Gazing at the sleeping villagers) “This curse… it’s powerful magic. The air is thick with an enchantment I haven’t sensed in years.”
Player: “Can you break it?”
Mirabel: “Not alone. We need a rare herb, the Moonshadow Bloom, which only grows in the light of the full moon. We’ll also need to perform an ancient ritual at the village’s heart.”
Player: “Where can we find this herb?”
Mirabel: “There’s a secluded glade to the north, bathed in moonlight. We must hurry, the full moon rises tonight.”
Enchanted Glade (NPC): (A mysterious figure guards the Moonshadow Bloom) “To take the Bloom, you must prove your heart’s purity. Face the reflection of your deepest fear.”

Elysia: “I was once their ally, now branded a betrayer. But I hold knowledge that could either aid you or lead to your doom.”
Player: “Why should we trust you?”
Elysia: “Trust is earned, not given. Seek the hidden tome in the ruined library. It will reveal my part in their story. Then decide my fate.”
Ruined Library (NPC): (The spirit of an old librarian appears) “The tome you seek lies within, but be warned, the library is protected by ancient spells. Only those pure of intent may read its pages.”
