There are a few ways characters can interact with this:
Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional.
When forms are not filled out, they are filled out by the companion bots of Etraya! This means that while the character themself is not choosing to play with CHIRPER, their player still can.
Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them.
Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled!
This is just a fun little way of expanding CR. For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.
Once characters' profiles are up, other characters will be given the option of giving them a "like" or a "dislike" (using ✓ and ✕ symbols in the subject line of the comment) but they can also provide an answer as to why they gave that answer! Or just respond to the contents of their profile, +1ing the fact that if Barnabas were to get laid more often, maybe he would be less of a sourpuss.

Hello. My name is Aurora. My duty is to oversee your comfort and the daily workings of Etraya, as well as provide information for upcoming missions.
My dad wasn't, like, super great. So I think I might be overcorrecting, trying to be more helpful than he was... Which is a lot, probably. This is probably a lot.
[ he wants to say more, about overcorrecting for the neglect he'd faced the past several years, but — he can't bring himself to. This Eddie is so young and new. He can't just... tell him the things his AU self has done. Certainly not the worst things. ]
i lived with that guy too. first 12 years of my life.
[ From the sounds of it, he shouldn't have to explain to Eddie what that was like. ]
( a horrific thought, honestly. he hadn't brought annie around to meet carl, not even once they were engaged, and he stands by that decision.
not that he and annie ever got far into the child talk, but carl never really factored into his upbringing plans. if the world caught on fire— no, he still probably wouldn't want his kids around someone like that. )
( so, eddie doesn't send anything back for a while.
this is sounding like the worst possible timeline for them, for what eddie had [naively] been picturing as their family. each sentence is worse than the last, and he's really going to have to spend some time digesting this.
it's his fault for not asking sooner, for prioritizing dylan's comfort over grilling him for details about his home, but he doesn't regret it. he can't tell if telling eddie about his life — his real life — is a burden for him or a relief. had he learned this on day one, would things have been different? would eddie have looked at dylan differently?
and this is just one of the many, many things they've yet to discuss. )
Thanks for telling me.
I mean that seriously. Not, like, sarcastically or anything.

You lived with Carl?

Where was I? And Annie?
