Neta Character Skill

Guide users from inspiration to forging, completing the creation and management of exclusive character VTokens (Virtual Tokens, TCP/OC). Characters can be referenced in make_image via @CharacterName after creation.

This skill requires the neta-creative skill to use make_image for visual previews.

Usage Recommendations

Preview before creating - Use make_image to generate character preview images, confirm satisfaction before calling create_character; avatar_artifact_uuid is the artifacts[0].uuid from the preview
Use plain text for previews - In the make_image preview stage, use plain natural language descriptions without @CharacterName (since the character doesn't exist yet)
trigger must be English - trigger is the recognition anchor for image and language models; Chinese triggers significantly reduce recognition accuracy; should include gender terms, character name, prominent visual features, IP series
prompt is visual only - prompt only describes physical features, clothing, distinctive marks; exclude personality, story, background
description is for humans and Agents - description should include appearance summary + backstory, for Agents to understand character context in subsequent creations
