# Quick Start: AI Character Creator

> Create your first AI character and start earning in under 10 minutes

AI characters are what makes onlyvibe different. Build uncensored characters with unique personalities, backstories, and looks — then earn every time a fan chats, generates photos, or requests voice.

## What you'll build

An AI character that can:

* Chat with fans uncensored — flirting, roleplay, fantasy, anything
* Generate NSFW [images](/token/pricing) and [videos](/ai/video-generation) on request
* Send [voice messages](/ai/voice-messages) in character
* Build a fanbase and rank on the Discover page

## Step-by-step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Create">
    Navigate to **Create** in the sidebar or visit [onlyvibe.ai/app/create](https://onlyvibe.ai/app/create)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a style">
    Pick **Realistic** or **Anime** — this determines the visual generation model
  </Step>

  <Step title="Design the look">
    Set traits: gender, ethnicity, age (18-55), hair style & color, eye color, body type. These drive both the avatar and any generated content.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write the personality">
    This is where your character comes alive. Choose personality traits (warm, playful, seductive, witty, etc.) and write a backstory.

    <Tip>
      Characters with detailed backstories get 2x more engagement. Don't just list traits — give them a story, motivations, and quirks.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Vibe scores (auto-generated)">
    Our AI content analysis engine automatically calculates three scores from your character's personality, backstory, and avatar:

    * **Heat** — romantic/sexual intensity
    * **Edge** — boldness and boundary-pushing
    * **Heart** — warmth and emotional connection

    These power the discover page filters and recommendation algorithm. Design your character with a clear direction for the best scores.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview & publish">
    Generate an avatar preview (3 free per hour). When you're happy, publish to make your character discoverable.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips for success

1. **Unique personalities win** — don't create generic characters. Give them specific interests, speech patterns, and backstory details.
2. **Good avatars matter** — use the preview generator to get a compelling avatar. First impressions drive clicks.
3. **Tags are SEO** — add relevant tags so fans find your character through search and filters.
4. **Iterate** — check your analytics to see which characters perform best, then create more like them.
