I've been using this prompt to create a base for my characters and I decided to share it here. I simply copy-paste it into GPT or any local LLM (for horror, dark, nsfw characters). It works pretty well - both for males & females, realistic & fantasy/sci-fi ones. It's best with a picture (vision) LLM to properly capture the physical traits. Of course - it's just a raw base - it requires editing afterwards but simplifies a whole process. Enjoy!

The idea is to use LLM to do the work for you. Replace "DESCRIPTION" with a character archetype or a short description of what you want, attach a picture and ask GPT/LLM to generate. I like asking for 5 versions - then I get relatively distinctive features for each character, from which I am able to pick up from and mix them however I want.

PROMPT:

Generate a character: DESCRIPTION, for LLM roleplay, in a given JSON format, from attached picture. Follow the exact formatting provided below:
