Making Your Character Public vs Private

When you create a character in AICHIKI, you choose whether it's public or private. This setting controls who can see and interact with your character.

Public Characters

• Visible to all users in the character list and search
• Anyone can view the profile and start a chat
• Ideal for:
  • Roleplay characters you want others to use
  • Helpers, companions, or fan-made characters you want to share

Once someone chats with your character, that interaction is saved in their history—even if you later set the character to private

Private Characters

• Only visible to you (the creator)
• Won't appear in searches or public lists
• Perfect for:
  • Personal roleplay scenarios
  • Testing characters before sharing
  • Storylines you don't want others to access

How to Switch Between Public and Private

1. Go to the character's profile page

2. Use the toggle in the top-right corner to switch visibility

   • If it turns purple, the character is now public
   • If it's gray, the character is private

3. You'll also see a label next to the toggle showing the current status

Reminder About Public Characters

When making a character public, you'll see a notice explaining:

• Public characters that gain interactions can't be instantly deleted
• If others begin using your character, it may remain on the platform (in private state) to preserve existing conversations
