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.
Oh! Yeah no, I'm fine. It's been a long time since. But that's how it is a lot of the time in Etraya, right? All of us have had some pretty wild stuff happen to us.
Maybe so?? It's just crazy. That is, I hear a lot of stuff that even I think sounds crazy. When there are so many universes in one spot that seem like that, it feels like it's not a coincidence.
Oh, haha Right, my complicated thing. It's a little weird, but... can you say you're actually in a relationship if the other person lost their memories of you? Think at that point, you're definitely single.
Can you say you're in a relationship with someone if you spent a year with them and planned to leave the place you met together, and then they just never showed up again?
[It's been six months, honestly, and it's getting harder to keep justifying the fact that he hasn't made an appearance yet.]
It's okay. It is and it isn't, I guess. I know he'd hate it here, and he probably wouldn't want to bother with trying to save the world he came from.
[Because Vance was a generally angry ghost, and never seemed particularly motivated to do anything to help the Serena or most of the people on board. But not being here doesn't bode well because people who disappeared from the Serena usually were sent to the Nothing.]
I think I always knew that it would be impossible to go somewhere together. I've only run into one other person here that I recognized, and it's been a while since I've seen her so maybe she's gone now too.
But that must make things even harder for you, huh? You're away from home, but you're also away from the place after that, where you'd cared about new people.
I guess he was kind of a bully when he was alive. But he wasn't like that when I knew him.
[Which is probably a wild piece of info to drop, but there it is.]
Honestly, I think I'm more upset about being away from the Serena Eterna than I am about not being able to go back to Hawkins. I was planning to move after graduation anyway. It just happened a little differently than I was anticipating.
[Peter's had a lot of bullies in his youth, but y'know. It is what it is.
Hopefully they'll be nicer people in the future.]
You found a home there, right? A place that felt like you fit. It's actually pretty normal to move away from home and find somewhere that feels more like one.
It was definitely an adjustment at first, but it's growing on me. My cabinmate was almost never around so I pretty much had the room to myself all the time.
[Maybe that is how people feel when they leave home for the first time. Her graduation to living alone wasn't exactly normal.]
Aaaah... Kind of a mixed feeling, I guess. I miss living with someone else sometimes.
But it's cool to have a place of your own, somewhere you can go and just try to unwind by yourself. We all need places we can have a minute to ourselves, right?

The place I was before had cool little phones that don't look like phones. :)
no subject
we've had a couple of alien invasions
That's probably the big difference, there.

Not joking. Scout's honor.
I was a kid when the first one happened. I think... 11???
Somewhere around there. It was NUTS.

Maybe it's how it picks us? I'm not sure.

Do you think that's really how we were chosen? Because weird stuff happened to us before?

There was a time when I would have thought pretty much all of this sounded completely crazy or made up.
[Life had certainly been a lot simpler when she was a mostly-happy cheerleader who was simply trying to survive high school.]
I know you don't really know me, but I wouldn't mind listening if you wanted to talk to someone about your "it's complicated" sometime.
no subject
Right, my complicated thing.

Being here all this time must've been torture.
You wanna talk about yours, too?
phone's trying to help by breaking up the sadness lol

[She's mostly thinking about Jason when she says that, but that's neither here nor there.]
I did. I was only there for a year, but everyone was nice in their own ways, and it felt like people actually wanted me around.
It would have been nice to graduate, but I guess I shouldn't feel too bad about it because I got to leave either way.
no subject
If you had to go anywhere, I mean.
I'm glad I'm getting to meet you, that is.
no subject
[And not only because the Serena had started falling apart there toward the end.]
Living alone has been pretty wild, but I think I like it.
no subject
Kinda freeing in a way? Maybe a lot of people feel that way when they turn 18.
[His own journey into adulthood had been a little... strained.
But it's certainly a step in life he's tried to find some positivity in.]

Right! Besides, I'm not even sure who I'd ask.
