Character Personas
Public character personas are cards for the AI to write as. They can include fandom, category, tags, archive summary, greetings, behavior fields, canon reference notes, and duplication settings.
Public Archive Guide
The public archive is where CO3 testers can browse shared character personas and reusable user personas. Public entries can be liked, sorted, filtered, reported, and copied when the creator allows duplication.
User Personas
Public user personas are reusable writing profiles. They can use fandoms and tags too. They should be safe for another user to copy into a private library, not private biographies or personal records.
Likes And Popularity
Likes help testers mark useful public entries and support popularity sorting. If a like count does not change or a liked filter misses an item, report it.
Finding Things
Archive pages support search, sorting, and filter sidebars. Include filters narrow results to matching fandoms or tags. Exclude filters hide matching fandoms or tags. The Fandoms, Tags, and People directory pages are shortcuts for browsing public archive structure without starting from a search box.
- Fandoms: broad source or setting categories, with directory pages for browsing.
- Tags: trope, genre, vibe, role, or feature labels. Tags are alphabetized where possible.
- People: public creator usernames with public archive personas.
- Features: archive traits such as duplicatable, canon notes, recent chats, or liked items.
Before Publishing Publicly
- Remove private notes, real contact details, passwords, API keys, billing details, and personal records.
- Make sure the title, fandom, category, tags, tagline, and archive summary help someone understand the entry quickly.
- For fan personas, keep the use noncommercial and follow the fanwork policy.
- Decide whether other users can duplicate an editable private copy.
- Open the public profile after publishing and check that it reads the way you intended.
Copying Public Personas
When duplication is allowed, copying a public persona creates a separate private version in your own library. Editing your copy does not change the original public entry. Some cards may also offer a save-as path between character and user persona formats; review the converted draft before saving because the two card types use different relationship direction and chat fields.
Orphaned Personas
A creator can orphan a persona when they no longer want their username shown as the creator. The persona remains in the owner's library, but the public creator label changes to an orphaned account label unless the creator restores it.
What To Report
- A public persona appears in the wrong archive or under the wrong fandom/category.
- A private persona appears publicly.
- A duplicate button appears when duplication is not allowed, or disappears when it should be allowed.
- Likes, liked filters, or popularity sorting do not update correctly.
- A public entry contains safety, privacy, rights, or moderation concerns.
