What works differently on AiRP

Think in stories, not one bot

An AiRP story has a world, cast, and one or more openings. The player brings a Star, the character they control; the AI takes the other roles. Put the starting situation in Plot, standing directions in Rules, and each person's stable identity in Cast. The opening is what the player actually responds to, while a reader-facing Intro presents the story before play.

The cast is available throughout play. Separate optional details into tidbits so they appear when relevant. Locations, character backstory, relationships, factions, and sublocations have different rules for when they enter context. Enabled secrets are always private AI context so the narrator knows the true answer; reveal conditions control disclosure, and starting-knowledge notes describe what each person already knows. A reveal does not automatically inform every character.

Build your Intro with three choices

Add Text, Image, or Decoration, then select the block to customize it. Text can be a paragraph, heading, or quote. Use Selected text for bold, italic, links, or colour on highlighted words. Use Whole block for the text style, font, size, alignment, colour, or emphasis of the entire block. Images can keep their original shape or use a crop. Decorations include lines, ornaments, and spacing.

Width controls the arrangement: a half-width image beside half-width text shares a row, while three third-width images form a gallery. Blocks stack on mobile. Turn on Show text when clicked inside Image to add a short introduction on the reverse; turning it off keeps your text for later. For a video, add Image and choose Video link in Media.

AI drafts use the same widths and image behavior. Uploaded images and Krea default to clickable character introductions and location galleries when the story supports them. GPT Image defaults to coordinated illustrated panels. You can choose the composition yourself before generating. Existing intros keep their original presentation.

Your images can follow the scene

Give a Location a background image and establish it with a scene header such as [Day 1 - Blackwood Manor - Evening]. When the header names a defined place, AiRP can show that background behind the chat. A sublocation can have its own image; if it does not, it can use its parent location's image. The displayed place can also follow movement described in messages.

The picture beside an AI reply follows the cast character named in that reply. You can add other pictures for that character and describe what makes each one distinct, such as an armored outfit or a furious expression. When matching details appear near that character in the scene, AiRP can use the corresponding image; otherwise it keeps the character's ordinary portrait. Images are chosen from what you uploaded; the text model does not see the pictures.

Review an import before publishing

AiRP imports Character Card V1/V2 and plain story JSON into a private draft. A single-character card becomes a one-person story. Review the cast, openings, lore, and any dropped or shortened fields in the preview; then finish images, Intro, tags, and content labels in the editor.

Players can change models in their own chats and choose a larger context setting. Older turns may become editable memories as a chat grows. This means the creator's Rules should describe durable story behavior, while discoveries and decisions develop during play.
