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.
[He's thinking about all the people he knows who come across as nice, and he isn't sure he could categorize any of them as monsters. Even Hannibal was more 'civil' than 'affable and friendly.']
All the monsters I can think of weren't so covert about it.
If I met a monster worse than myself? Someone like that shouldn't be around.
[He's gotten a lot better at not jumping straight to violence, but for someone even worse than himself? Yeah, he isn't seeing many options aside from "kill them so they can't hurt innocent people."]
It shouldn't be. It's the way to making decisions that will lead you to success, and other monsters to fall before your feet. It's the only way to dominate them.
[He can't really argue with that logic. Back home monsters weren't the kinds of people who were willing to turn over a new leaf, or needed rehabilitation like a lot of the criminals. They were just demons who would never change and couldn't be reasoned with. Most of the directors running the city were like that, refusing to go along with his changes and own up to all the hurt they caused.]
It's something I've had to do my entire life, of course I have advice.
[ Like with all things, Silco thinks he has all the answers. They are not always the correct ones, but he believes in them. ]
You must be willing to do anything and everything. If you want to finally take out the largest of them, the strongest? You have to be willing to take it, no matter the cost. No matter what the price is asked. It is a difficult lesson to learn, once you are forced to.
[ And yet...
Even he hadn't really learned it, had he? It's through text, so the sobering thought, that there were things even he wouldn't have ever given up, isn't in his voice. He would not admit that, that there was something even he wouldn't give away to become the biggest monster of them all. ]
Willing to do anything? Hadn't he thought that way before, back during the Level 6 Shift? He supposes so, and he had been wrong for it. But then, the project itself was toxic from the beginning, and these days he seriously doubts that killing every single clone would have made him invincible. Even if he's wrong, the thought is making him realize that no, he isn't willing to do anything. Instead, he's willing to do whatever it takes to find another way. Ruin his own life? Sure, no problem. Ruin the lives of the clones? Absolutely not.]

[Thank Harold for making this lesson a necessary evil.]
That's not something new to me. Most of my life has been around scientists who know how to put on a professional mask when they need to.
[Which was typically not around the subjects of their experiments.]
no subject
[ Adding a: don't ever let social media exist in Zaun to his list of things to —
Oh right.
Let's move on from that. ]
I am not talking about professional masks. I mean the affable and friendly. Even "kind". They are often the worst monsters of us all.

[ He's so dramatic. ]
You would be surprised, but then again, that is their aim. Hide behind their congeniality, only to snap later, and show you their true colors.
no subject
I don't know, I've never met someone who's an even bigger monster than I am, so it's hard to picture someone like that accomplishing that feat.
no subject
And what would you do, if you did?

How do you defeat a monster larger, stronger, and more monstrous than you?
[ ENOUGH with the leading questions, Silco ]
no subject
[It's what he had done during World War III, when they were up against Coronzon, and most recently with CRC.]
I have a lot of options, and I'm adaptable. I'd find a way.

[ Keeps putting down the bait... ]
no subject
[Ohhhh boy, he is not a stranger to controversy.]
no subject
For having to become a monster to do what is necessary. To take out the bigger monster.
[ like the person who WROTE HIS PROFILE!!! ]
They will hate you for it. Despite the necessity.
no subject
I know. I'm used to being hated, so that isn't a big deal to me.
[It doesn't feel great but nevermind that, feelings are overrated.]

Any advice on how to do that?

I'll take that into consideration.
[He's got a lot to think about.]
