Roleplay chat
How Roleva conversations work — masks, suggestions, memory, and keeping long stories consistent.
Every roleplay in Roleva is a chat between you and an AI character defined by its card. The character stays in role; you steer the story.
Masks: who you are in the story
A mask is your in-story identity: a name plus a short description of identity, personality, and background. Characters address you by your mask and react to what it says about you.
- Create and edit masks under My → Settings → Masks.
- Set a default mask to apply to every new chat automatically.
- You can switch masks in the middle of a conversation; the character adapts from that point on.
Writing and steering
- Send plain messages to speak or act. Descriptive actions (for example, "pushes the door open slowly") give the character more to react to.
- Use the suggestions the character offers when you are unsure where to take the scene next.
- If a reply misses the mark, retry it — the character rewrites its last turn without breaking the story.
Memory: how characters remember
Long stories only feel real if the character remembers what happened. Roleva has two memory layers, both controlled under My → Settings → Memory and personalization:
- Advanced memory (membership feature): the character organizes key facts and scene context from your chats, so long conversations stay consistent even after hundreds of turns.
- Memory across chats (membership feature): characters remember your preferences and style across different chats and understand you faster in new ones.
When a toggle is off, nothing new is organized or remembered by that layer. You can also keep your own memory notes — key moments and details worth remembering — under My.
Managing your threads
- Chats lists every open thread. Threads keep their full history, so you can leave a story for weeks and pick it up again.
- Favorite characters from their card page to find them quickly later.
- Message history storage has a quota that grows with membership tier; older threads are preserved within your quota.
Interactions beyond chat
On card pages you can like, favorite, share, and — once your account level unlocks it — write reviews to tell other players what a card feels like. See Experience and levels for how unlocks work.
