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.
Another strong word I don't recall using. If you're not careful, someone might assume they got more of a result than they actually did.
Remember that bit about uphill battles? Sometimes the result is modest. Sometimes modest is all someone can get. It's simply more than nothing, as I said.
Even should he prove willing, his failing health would not allow it.
[He is well aware that Cid isn't likely to succumb to the crystal's curse here, given the nature of it and everything. However, if he sees an opening, he will take it.]
In that case, this place presents one hell of an opportunity for him. They cure all sorts of ills here. Even death's more of a suggestion than a rule, somehow.
[There's a part of Barnabas that finds the prospect of removing the curse...absurd. Sure, bringing people back from the dead is odd and beggars belief on its own, but he is aware it can actually happen here. Part of him wonders the truth of these so-called demises, but then again... There is Cid here.
Yet, the idea of Cidolfus' aetherborn lithification being cleared away so simply...it is as fiction in his mind.]
There will always be a price for one's unmitigated folly. That he might rid himself of the evidence of his indiscretions will only further encourage his imprudence.

Still, something to be said for persistence, even if it's the colorful kind.

My countrymen have a habit of finding uphill battles, so it's more that I can acknowledge it, I suppose.

[ And so, Barnabas is susceptible after a fashion. ]

[You can't get him on a technicality if he refuses the technicality!!]

[ Barnabas being hung up on this one detail is cute actually but Yuri will keep that to himself. ]

You know not the man behind this. Modest, in any form, does not gratify him.

Would you rather the man was dead?
[ There's more he could say, something about second chances and being saved, but Barnabas' feelings on the matter seem more to the point. ]
no subject
[Which doesn't really answer the question...]
no subject
So let's say hypothetically that you became the arbiter of the man's destiny. Would you have him die for this folly of his?

[ Because that wasn't a yes, Barney. ]
no subject
[He knows how these games go. If he does not answer as one wishes he would, they will simply assume he is lying. Thus it is pointless.
He also doesn't want to answer.]
no subject
In my experience, a man doesn't answer because it's something he's reluctant to yield.
[ Such as admitting he does not want that man dead, regardless of what he may deem justified or logical. ]
I get the impression you evade rather than lie.
