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.
I'm not super picky! Anything that's easy to dance to is a plus. There wasn't really a lot to do in Hawkins outside of game nights.
[The true horror of living in a small town with a population that really loves basketball.]
I never really went out of my way to find birds, but there was this big old tree right outside my window that housed a family of robins every year. Sometimes there were bluejays or something else, but it was pretty constant.
There's some pretty fun dance stuff in my time, you might like it.
[ Should he introduce Chrissy to such hit modern artists as Ariana Grande?? ]
Oh yeah? We lived out in the middle of nowhere, lots of trees around. Lots of birds too, but I don't think I noticed them much. That was more my sister's thing. She loved drawing animals and stuff.
[ Talking out loud about Charlie isn't something he's often able to do, but texting is safe, and so is Chrissy. ]
People do still listen to a lot of the classic pop stars like Prince and Madonna but there are a lot of good modern ones, too Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande Oh you might also like Nicki Minaj
[ Introducing Chrissy to The Greats, here...! ]
It was definitely really isolated. To be honest it always felt kind of lonely. Like I got used to all the woods growing up, but as I got older it just made everything feel so closed in, you know?
[ He doesn't mind the questions; this is actually kind of nice?? Talking to someone else and asking some things about their home lives back and forth. Even if there's a lot that's dark and awful and ugly up underneath everything. ]
My sister's art could be kind of creepy sometimes. She liked to draw people, but it was like... distorted versions of them? Kids have the wildest imaginations
[ He feels a little bit weird and bad for talking like that about Charlie's art too, but.. it's also refreshing in a way? Like he doesn't have to pretend. ]
Sounds quaint And kind of suffocating Small towns like that where everyone knows all your business... man. I bet you couldn't wait to get out of there when you graduated
That makes me happy. I'm going to write those names down so I can keep an eye out for them.
[She is actually writing them down, because having a physical list is just simpler.]
I can get how that would start to feel claustrophobic.
[To be honest, it's how she'd been starting to feel about Hawkins. It's not quite the same, but she can empathize, at least.]
Maybe that was just her style. And yea, I used to babysit so I could tell you some fun stories about kids.
[Maybe it's not the coolest thing to do, but those kids lived in a completely different time, in a completely different world, and the odds of them ever coming here are probably less than zero.]
It was like how you described, really. When I was younger, it was a lot of fun because it was safe and nothing ever really happened. Then I got older and realized just how small it really was.
I was planning to leave right after graduation and my birthday, you know. I'd had years of babysitting money saved up, so I was going to just pack the essentials and get on a bus to somewhere else.

Photography sounds really nice. And birdwatching. I feel like it's a certain kind of peaceful

What's Hawkins like?
no subject
[It still feels kind of wild to think that other people are from other times, but it makes about as much sense as anything else does in this place.]
Were you very far away from other people? Did you like living there?
[Is that too many questions? Maybe. She's curious, though. The past tense there is pretty glaring, so she'll just put a pin in that for now.]
My brother liked to draw sometimes too. He wasn't very good.
[It might sound like a mean thing to say, but it's the truth. As for Hawkins, though-]
It's small enough to walk from one end to the other in a couple of hours. Pretty quiet until it's not. Mostly everyone is in love with basketball.
