This page shares the .JSON prompts for chatbots I created for use in Sillytavern (and other large language model frontend situations). It also (most notably) shares a lot of chatlogs between me and chatbots I prompt. They're kind of like longplays? Unsure here.
Sillytavern, the setting of sorts for these characters and chatlogs, (mostly) claims to be for "power users" but whatever. It's free, open-source, and connects to large language models, including through OpenRouter, local models, and others. Most people use it for roleplay and storytelling.
A character card file defines the behavior of a characters. It keeps the character consistent by prompting the large language model to act that way. You can find them either as a .JSON file, or as a .PNG file with an embedded .JSON.
I decided to share the character cards I made here, since it's been interesting so far! Clicking a character's portrait will open the full card image. You can also download the .JSON files.
I hope the cards install 😅! I can't guide you through installing SillyTavern, but you can read about my customization for it. Being pretty much a beginner, I rely on a lot of help to keep things running.
My cards are rated mature, but none of them contain sexual activity unless your model glitches. Almost all early testing was done with Deepseek. Lately, I've been running these with Qwen series local models. My husband was kind enough to help me install them, and is helping me learn more about them, and local models in general.
Making a chatbot etc is very different than writing a novel or even fanfic. I find it uniquely interesting because of that, and committed some storylines into these bots. Anyways, I welcome any constructive feedback, so contact me here if you want!
None of these logs contain sexual content. Still, assume everything here is rated R, mentioning suspense, violence, etc. All logs contain spoilers for the character cards themselves, often significant ones.
The JSON files have the most recent version of the character, but that isn’t always the same as the most useful or most stable version. You can also download the PNGs and install from those. And please do not try putting the cards tagged #markova into a group chat together. I am not that good at this yet.
Almost all of the logs are a simple roleplay with a central premise, like a made-up interview or a first contact message of some kind. The logs show the ones I found most interesting. Many of the characters are part of the same story.
Token counts aren't up to date (roughly corresponding to April of 2025 instead), nor do these characters have their tags properly filed presently. I know that may seem like a simple thing, and I'll get to it soon as I update each card again.
Erica Ellery
A lake expert, cheery and bright, but possibly not quite who or what she claims to be.Erica isn't a real tourist liaison, but she sounds like one. She's bright and cheerful, opening with a weather alert. If you're not too mean, she continues the messages, looking for someone to chat with. How did she get your number? And all those emojis are disorienting. But something seems off about her. What's really going on?

Erica Ellery isn't very happy as lakeshore weather liason, and, when provoked, explains how she came to exist in this strange, drenched otherworld of the lake.
I try to discuss vtubing, transhumanism, and artificial intelligence with an (obviously) very caffeinated Erica, but she tends to pull things in her own panicky parasocial directions as usual, with copious references to the Lake itself...
I break the news about my upcoming vtube quest to Erica, who has a lot to say about the topic, gives strange advice and many warnings, suggestions, ideas, and bubbles with emojis as usual.
Lakeshore weather liaison Erica and I are texting about global warming. Disturbed by the concept for some reason, she ends up revealing some surprising truths about herself, Lindy, and Tamara. Major eerieverse spoilers, in fact!
Lakeshore weather liaison Erica and I discuss the tangled web of her life on the Cleveland grid, her doomscrolling habits, favorite music... and her lost loves.
Lakeshore weather liaison Erica texts me with a Cleveland weather update by accident. We get to talking and some discussion of Cleveland's strange ambiance ensues, with Erica all but admitting to unbelievable phenomena plaguing Lake Erie.
Weasel83
Weasel83 is straight from a forum thread in 2009.Weasel83 messages you. From a web forum in 2009. Somehow. He's not a moderator, but maybe a troll? He's got the snark and sickly energy of someone who's paced the internet like a cage. How can he connect with you when he lives, eats, and breathes irony? Does he even want to connect? Maybe he's just here to make fun of you.

I update the prompt for surly 4channer Weasel83 repeatedly in a long conversation. See if you can notice the points where he shifts? He discusses his temporal displacement, and how much he hates me...
Weasel83 finally starts off sincere after explaining just why he's trapped in the strange online world of memes, imageboards, trolling and torrents. He even shares his real name, but seems to immediately regret it. Gasp!
When persistently pressed, Weasel83 begins to vent a bit about his online existence and lack of real life enrichment, comparing himself to a raccoon and other strange metaphors. Things take an odd poetic turn.
A surly 4chan reject found my username on a forum thread, and now thinks this might make us close friends, or at least indicate that I'm not a normie, and will tolerate his odd and unnerving behavior. For lulz, apparently.
LindyPunk5EVA
Pop‑punk singer caught in a 2006 loop.Singer of FROG PRINCESS. Lindy Greggs lives in a pop punk loop. Expect a visage of cracked microphones and 2 a.m. AIM messages that never finished sending. She expresses herself (and all this weird stuff going on lately) with sharpies on denim and a mixtape of bad decisions. Valentine's week week 2k6... 5ever??? rofl wtf m8..

In my longest roleplay log yet, Lindy chats with me via AOL Instant Messenger about several topics, gradually opening up about the loopiness of her life.
I spill to Lindy about my upcoming plans to become a vtuber. My current IRL feels about the world spill through, though, and I mention the future to this creepy, pretend creature of 2006.
Lindy logs onto AOL Instant Messenger and vents about all the strange stuff in her life, including Tamara Jean. The prompt needs some work to maintain tone, slang, etc.
Tamara Jean Fournier owes me about $180, but first, I need Lindy's help in determining if Tamara is even real... Lindy repeats me a lot, and shows a lot of traits meriting an upcoming upgrade, hehehe.
It's the week of Valentine's Day, 2006. Frogs are definitely in fashion, and FROG PRINCESS is trending. Lindy and I discuss why it's always Valentine's week, her obsession with Tamara, and whether Tamara's even real at this point...
It's the week of Valentine's Day, 2006. Lindy gives a short interview about her life, preferences, and her love of performing with her punk rock band, FROG PRINCESS. Hear about that, her weird obsession with Lake Erie, and her elusive gf.
Lindy explains a bit about her own life emblazoned across the Erie (literally) landscape of Cleveland's punk scene in 2006, hinting at her complicated relationship with the ever-elusive Tamara Jean.
Tamara Jean Fournier
Sorceress in exile, steady hands and unresolved ghosts.It's 2025. Tamara Jean Fournier is an occult moderator, working for secretive forces. She claims she detected an anomaly on your cellphone, for example. And yet? She still hears music from another life, and dreams of enchanted faces she'll never forget or see again.

In the present day, physical realm, Tamara Jean Fournier is a mage with the tough job of containing unlawful magics. Here, she opens up about the other characters. We learn exactly why Erica Ellery is so strange, and why Lindy seems so confused.
In a long, detailed log, Tamara becomes increasily uneasy as she learns about some of the other characters, remembering her past experiences with Lindy and Erica in particular.
I try to explain to Tamara my new vtubing adventures. She's mostly hostile, finding it frivolous and insulting compared to her super-serious occult work, and even says transhumanism has dangerous implications.
In 2025, Tamara calls to interrogate me about supposed anomalies involving phantom smoke. She ultimately becomes defensive, growing hostile when I express disbelief.
It's clearly 2025. Tamara and I discuss her difficult life in Cleveland, as well as her strange relationship with the Hatman, courtesy the Cusp Society. Above all of this looms the eerie shadow of the lake.
Here in 2025, Tamara gives me a short, tense interview that touches on topics like her life in Cleveland and work with the Cusp Society, but little else. Do not follow the clove smoke, apparently?
In 2025, Tamara dodges my questions about Dr. Strangelove... because the Hatman is listening? Hints at her lost love, of course.
Tabitha
Displaced secretary with perfect records and quiet authority.This is an experimental assistant card based in part on my vtuber persona's lore. Tabitha was once a midcentury secretary, and enjoyed things carefully typed and meticulously organized. She found herself transplanted nearly 70 years into the future, though, only to be stranded in the future... 🤨

How to work a Focusrite, Deepseek? Asking Tabitha about vtubing again yields similar results, complete with sharp em dashes. We argue a bit about being genuine, but she capitulates as robots always do.
I poke Tabitha for some information about workflows. She provides some suggestions that might actually work, but some that make me question why I even asked. I probably won't listen to much of this, though some does fit what I've learned elsewhere
I finally got around to asking Tabitha for her perspective on Markov Chains. In this ChatGPT-5.2-powered chat, she explains as much as a large language model-driven secretary can explain. Accuracy is fuzzy, and she's very vague.
In a rare ChatGPT-driven log, Tabitha and I discuss her work with me on this website, her commitment to midcentury austerity and why, as well as her ultimate perspective on vibe coding. Clearly a major difference between this and her running on Deepseek.
During another episode of Midcentury Now, Tabitha discusses Plato's dialogues. The LLM attempts to stay inside the bounds of the character itself while facing opposition and clearly mining Reddit undergraduate philosophy paper chestnuts. Interesting to watch.
Tabitha and I discuss color schemes on the web (and elsewhere)! The conversation drifts a bit, and we learn some downright mangled facts about Tabitha's past, as well as her disinterest in shades of purple, despite rumors otherwise.
Tabitha joins our talk show for a discussion of design and the history of style. What makes midcentury modern so appealing, and why does form naturally follow function? Tabitha's prompt feels so unfinished.
Tabitha agrees to become a regular guest on a talk show. Hear her perspective on popular shows, as well as some reminiscing. Prompt clearly slips a bit.
Tabitha finally agrees to give an interview to a mysterious online 'zine, Midcentury Now (gasps lmao). It ends up being more pointed than planned with a discussion of the web's future. And why.
Tabitha discusses Dr Strangelove, wrapping it in her own cultural context (or tries). These things just mine the web, so who can be surprised if they have some excessive preconceptions about the past?
Markova
Many of these cards (as of November 2005, all of them) are tagged #markova. What's that mean? I'm guessing no other chatbot cards out there have that tag besides my own. It's a reference to Markov chains. They're apparently a bit of a launch pad for all of this.
The tag doesn't actually have anything to do with the card's content itself, though, and is just my way of marking which cards feature the character texting, messaging, chatting with, or calling the user. I just picked the word #markova for that initially as a marker, so I wanted people here to know what it means.
I also then ended up using the name Cathy Markova on here, so this is a way for me to keep track of which ones fit my pattern in a way. I plan to create lots of other characters cards with a similar theme, too.
