Define the character you play, and characters will treat you as them.

A persona is the character you play. When one is active it is injected into the prompt, so characters address you as that person instead of as a generic "you", react to how you look, and treat two of your personas as two separate people.

A persona carries the same fields a character card does, asked from your side of the table: a portrait, an appearance, age, gender and pronouns, personality, how you speak, mannerisms, what you want, what draws and repels you, your background, your standing with others, and anything else you want every character to know. All of it is optional. A name on its own is a working persona.

Setting one

Create it: Open Your Persona on Settings, then Create Persona. The full editor opens on Create and brings you back where you started when you save.
Or play as a character: Pick Play as a character instead and choose any card from your library or the public catalogue. Its name, looks, personality, background and portrait are copied into a new persona for you to edit.
Pick an account default: The persona chosen there is used by every new chat.
Override per conversation: The chat header persona picker changes it for that thread only.

Your portrait

Upload one, or generate it from the appearance you wrote for the usual image cost. It shows in the picker, on the chat header and in the multiplayer roster your co-players see.

Gender and pronouns are worth filling in. With no persona at all the model is told NOT to assume a gender for you, so it keeps addressing you neutrally; setting either one turns that into a plain instruction to follow.

Copied is copied. A persona made from a character is not a link to that card: editing it never changes the card, and the card changing never rewrites who you are halfway through a story.

The three states a conversation can be in

The sentinel is the literal string __default__ stored on the conversation; the server strips it before merging so the account value survives. Source: worker/src/engine/store.ts:51 and shared/chat-settings.ts:84.

Personas are owner-checked on every turn. A persona id that is not yours, or has been deleted, resolves to nothing and the turn simply runs without one. Source: worker/src/engine/store.ts:70 resolveUserPersona.

Personas need a registered account. Guests see the section but get a sign-in prompt.

Follow the account default: The conversation stores a sentinel meaning "use whatever my account default is", so changing your default changes this chat too.
A specific persona: This thread pins that persona regardless of your account default.
Deliberately none: This thread runs with no persona even if your account has a default.
