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.
