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.
[Focus on living. She'd like to think she's doing that — but is there a way of doing it poorly? Of being bad at living? She can't help but wonder if she's doing it right.]
[ Is she a—?! Sevika frees her fork of the pancake chunk and levels it at Laura, using it to point at her. ]
Never, ever suggest that again.
[ Honestly, she looks disgruntled over the very accusation. It's undoubtedly a reaction she and Jinx both share on the topic. Technically, she did help raise that scrawny gremlin, but it wasn't exactly by choice. ]
I'm responsible for my home. [ She stabs the fork back into the pancake. ] That includes all of the people in it.
It's a common misconception about me, and I don't appreciate it, that's all.
[ But she also takes offense when someone tells her she doesn't look like the mothering type. Go figure. ]
Being responsible for the undercity is a lot bigger than one or two kids, though, and I can't say I offer a whole lot of love when dealing with some of the people living there.
Sure. Plenty of people out there shouldn't have had kids when there's no room in their life for them.
[ Although on the note of Laura's father loving her, but not showing it well, hits a little close to home. Sevika gives up fiddling with the pancake and eats the bit on the fork. Ugh, it really is way too sweet. ]
[She seems like someone who is tough. Tough people usually have tough parents who teach them how to be that tough, maybe. Does that make sense? She thinks it makes sense, but she doesn't have a lot of experience with different types of dads.]
[ Her father? Who the hell asks about her father, ever? Well, a kid who doesn't know better, that's who. Sevika won't let her silence at the question drag on too long, but it is there. ]
...sort of. I'm pretty sure he cared about me, but we argued a lot. It made it hard to see it back then, when I was younger, and he was still around.
[ Things had been better before her mom had passed, but there were some things Sevika didn't necessarily want to dig deep into, especially not with some kid. Even if they did have a few things in common. ]
If you have a rough one, that tends to stick with you. I'm not much different if I'm being honest. I sure argue enough with the one dumb kid I actually did have to help keep alive. Damn brat sure didn't make anything easy...

Is that what you do, too?
no subject
When I was closer to your age, it was, but I have to think about a lot more than only my life these days.
no subject
Why is that?
Are you a mother?

It sounds similar. Being responsible for a home. For people in it.
[Sevika, this is a child who has no clue how normal families work.]

... I don't think all moms and dads love their kids.
[Ah, but she adds:]
But my father loved me, I think. He just did not show it very well.
[At the end of everything. Right when it hurt most. But what can you do?]

Mm. Yeah. Fathers are like that sometimes.

I argued a lot with my father. He was difficult.
But I think life made him difficult.
[Or at least, that's what she thinks might have happened.
She knows maybe her own life had made her... difficult. To deal with.]
