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.
But if they wanted their clothes tended to all particular like, yeah, they should have made that clearer.
I get the rotation thing too, wanting to get you all well rounded maybe, but seems silly to make a guy do something he’s bad at like that. Especially seeing how it got everyone’s panties in a twist.
They're meant to look just like an actual person, so I'd rather not be the model. If someone wants me around, I'm right here.
[ Who needs a hyperrealistic effigy of him, really? ]
That's what it was called. My only guess was that it was meant to make it all less overwhelming, using something sort of cute. I didn't get a chance to ask, though.
I enjoy being very canon familiar while Hank very much isn’t lmao

Sure, maybe it’s common knowledge or whatever.

LMAO
Uh
Well.
I mean???
I’m not judging. Sorry you had to wash other peoples’ underwear though.

[Okay, Hank is just imagining Lars obliterating panties as he attempts to wash them.]
You.... What? Using some industrial kind of washing machine that just rips clothes apart or what?
no subject
Got a basin and a washboard.
no subject
[Which just raises MORE questions!!!]
That washboard pretty rough on those panties, huh?
no subject
no subject
Did soaking help? Or was it the soap?? What kinda soap you using there?
no subject
I don't know about kinds. We use the same soap for everything, it's military issue.
no subject
Couldn’t hurt.
[Except, knowing Lars’ penchant for laundry mishaps now, it might. So:]
I mean, probably. Helps with bad stains, anyway.
Military issued shit seems like it’s either pretty bad or pretty fucking good.
Guess we don’t know which this mystery soap leans toward.
no subject
no subject
Oh yeah?
Anything nefarious I should know about?
[He’s joking. Doesn’t think Lars would tell him even if he were plotting something weird.]
no subject
Just some art supplies for An Zhe.
And a moogle.
no subject
[...Oh. Hank wasn’t expecting that.]
That’s real thoughtful of you.
What kind of art is he into?
[Hank isn’t much of an art guy, but Connor’s been getting into painting and stuff, so... he’s kind of interested now.]
And do I even wanna fucking know what a moogle is??
no subject
[ They're people-replacements apparently. Sounds like mannequins to him, but An Zhe called them dolls. ]
It looks kind of like little a flying stuffed animal? The important part's that it can heal wounds for a group, and I can't do that myself.
no subject
Huh. Interesting. Sounds like a lot.
What kinda supplies you getting for him? Fabric? Needles?
[Like, these aren’t voodoo dolls or something, right? Please tell Hank they aren’t.]
A flying stuffed animal that can heal people. Sure.
[Lots of weird stuff here on Etraya, but also: what the fuck!!]
Moogle can’t help with laundry, huh?
no subject
[ If only Hank knew... ]
It just hovers around, makes a funny noise, and heals wounds every so often. Pretty useful if we see combat, even if it looks funny.
no subject
He gonna.... make a doll of you or something?
[The idea is both endearing and horrifying.]
Good to know. Will probably still be confused as fuck if I see a flying stuffed animal around, but at least I’ve got a heads-up.
[Won’t go trying to murder that little moogle! As odd as it might be.]
no subject
[ That'd be even more unsettling than the random doll head An Zhe gave him for that weird gifts-cards-compliments holiday. ]
That's just how companions worked in the Cage. You get something that looks like a toy floating around you, but it does something useful.
[ So it's whatever. ]
no subject
I dunno. Might be kinda cute. As long as it weren’t hyperrealistic or trying to murder me in my sleep.
Uh
That’s just how things worked in “The Cage,” huh?
Flying stuffed animals. In “The Cage.”
[He believes it — why lie about this? — but it just sounds... nonsensical.]
no subject
[ Who needs a hyperrealistic effigy of him, really? ]
That's what it was called. My only guess was that it was meant to make it all less overwhelming, using something sort of cute. I didn't get a chance to ask, though.

They life size, too? The fuck is that guy up to?
[The more Hank learns about both these topics, the more weirded out he is.]
So they just made you do laundry with military issue soap. In “The Cage.”
[This just sounds weird, okay!]
it's the best, playing with limited perspectives while knowing the truth...
[ Is...is he helping? ]
It's more like the time and place I'm from is recorded and stored in the Cage, I guess? So were my captain and me.
😈
Is he planning on making dolls of people who have left Etraya, then? Or...?
[The alternative is even more strange, like: “you’re not missing — yet — but you will be soon, maybe.”]
So it wasn’t like an actual, literal cage you were stuck in, yeah?
[Or was it...?]
