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.
Been awhile since I had to either, but I don't remember the in-between. Hopefully, yours is for something good, like deciding that you didn't owe them anything or something.
And you're welcome, but I don't think it is obvious to most people how awesome they are. If it was, people wouldn't need to hear it so often.
I wish I could claim that it was because I decided that I didn't owe people anything.
[Well, sure, it was partially that. But it also had a lot to do with what happened to her. Waking up to discover you're trapped someplace completely foreign to everything you've ever known offers a unique sort of perspective, after all.]
I've known a couple of people who were very aware of how amazing they thought they were.
I just mean that I would have liked to come to that decision on my own, but that isn't the way things happened.
[It's not a pleasant thing to talk about, or even think about, but since they're sharing-]
I actually died at home and woke up someplace completely new, months later. The realization that I didn't owe anyone anything came after all that happened.
[Along with quite a few others, come to think of it.]
[ Jay wasn't going to bring it up either. It's not pleasant, but... if she can get through it, so can he. Besides, text's different than talking, and Julian already told everybody that he'd been murdered. ]
... same here, I think. Not much in-between dying and waking up here.
Ah, come on. Don't say that where Julian can read it.
[In her defense, Chrissy's had a decent amount of practice talking about the unpleasant things. Mostly with Vance, but practice is practice as far as she's concerned.]
Oh. I'm sorry that happened to you. I lost a handful of months between when it happened and when I woke up in the other place. It's kind of weird just having so much time be gone.
[Going from March to October in what felt like the blink of an eye had been... something, certainly.]

Who said you can't claim it's because of that? You can claim it's anything you want.
I think I know one or two people like myself, but they get away with it cause they're right.
cw: casual-ish mention of death

Well it's different if they're right. :)

Maybe Julian won't see it.
no subject
[ He doesn't need to know the details of her "that". Nobody deserves to die young.
God, he really wants to talk about something else. His death was only a few days ago. ]
Julian always seems to know what everyone's up to. It's not always a bad thing.
no subject
[She's largely in agreement, though. Nobody deserves to go through what either of them have gone through.]
It's nice that he cares enough to be keeping tabs.
