Your first roleplay

Once you have a provider available, or you are using a browser paired to a hub that has one, you can start playing. There are three easy paths.

Option 1. Start with bundled examples

A fresh install includes starter content: a character, a scenario/narrator card, a lorebook, and a default persona. Open the Characters tab, pick an example, and start a chat.

This is the quickest way to see streaming replies, variants, persona use, and lore in action.

Option 2. Import a card

Bring in a community card:

  • Discover / BotBooru: browse inside Pyre where embedded Discover is available, then use the card's download/import flow.
  • From file: import a card PNG or JSON.
  • From URL: paste a supported card link.

See Importing & exporting for supported sources.

Option 3. Build with the Creator

Use the AI Creator to build a character, scenario, persona, or lorebook. Describe the idea, ask it to build, review the Sheet, then save.

Starting the scene

In a chat you can:

  • send a message and watch the reply stream,
  • stop a reply mid-generation,
  • regenerate or continue a message,
  • swipe between variants,
  • use Impersonate or Guide my message when you are stuck,
  • add OOC, scene, system, or direction notes with slash commands,
  • edit, branch, copy, or delete messages.

Groups and personas

You can start with one character, a group chat, or a full Party Mode scene where the whole cast responds together. Your side can also use one persona, no persona, or a persona-party roster.

Set up personas when you want the model to understand who you are in the scene. Add dialogue examples if you want Impersonate and Guide my message to match your voice.
