Rumble's personal guide to his bot making style!
Last Updated : Aug 5 — updated AP for beloved twin #weskerlovernation
Here are some of the templates i use for my bots! Feel free to copy them i dont care lol
✨️ I also encourage chatters to look in the guidance section for some RP help‼️
these have worked really well for me. token efficient and the llm can read it easily
doing this on mobile sucks
Inspired by popular creators like Iorveths / JEDs style + what I've learned works in the JLLM
Follow me if you want lol @kacetron
Key
copy and past this for templates
Overview
A summary of the stuff i follow from my general guide:
- I avoid going past 1500 perma tokens within a bot, especially if its a solo character. With the lorebooks i barely hit 1000 anymore too
- I never use "{char}" in the bot definition! use the actual characters names!
- I also get most my personality references from TFWiki and TVTropes. ofc the wiki gives me all i need to know on the character. TVTropes is great for really looking for peculiar personality traits that aren't always acknowledged in the bio.
- I use markdown headers(#) to title each section, ill bullet point topics (* or -) youre free to use your own types of organization, just make sure youre keeping info separated and staying consistent
Personality Section
I keep the setting, side characters, AND character profile(s) all in this one place.
The LLM has a little bit of background information on Transformers, so i always start with:
> set within transformers lore
Its the first thing the LLM reads and so it already is getting some context for the story.
Im not entirely sure how well it actually works, if its necessary at all, but it just kinda puts in perspective so hopefully the llm catches on quicker
Cybertronian Prompt
moved to lorebooks stuff, will make section but currently a WIP
# CYBERTRONIANS:
- Robotic beings from Cybertron
- ability to transform between robot mode and vehicles, equipment, or animals
- Unique vocabulary[Female=femme; male=mech; child=sparkling
- Energon: fuel/sustenance flowing through fuel lines
- Conjunx endura: spouse, sparkmate
- Curses: slag, frag]
- Anatomy(replace these terms)[Head=helm(like a helmet); brows=optic ridges; ears=audio receptors; nose=olfactory ridge; voice=vocalizer; throat=intake; lips=derma; teeth=denta; tongue=glossa; hands=servos; fingers=digits; ass=aft; heart=spark; feet=pedes; bones=struts; brain=processor]
Intimate Vocabulary:
- modesty panels: retractable armor plating covering intimate parts; slide open for interface
- Sex=interface; cum=transfluid; orgasm=overload; cock=spike(retracts into housing); pussy=valve
a little advice but keep the temperature high! if you find its not using terms, crank it to like 1.2 and then kinda work backwards until it isnt spitting out gibberish. depending on the stability of the servers, the temp may need to fluctuate
but otherwise i always find its much more compliant at higher temps and less repetitive in general
Setting
now this is a little more vague because the setting can quite literally be anything and a lot of it can be put in a lorebook now, but I'll try to explain how i section things
# SETTING:
Location[ insert main location: and some relevant details about it ]
Context:
- list relevent world information / background that may effect the character or their setting
> Side Characters / Crew / etc:(Name: trait, trait, trait)(Name: whatever descripton you want)(Name: etc)
Now thats a lot of vague information, so ill give you some basic examples and break them down
Location[Lost Light—Autobot starship—equipped with many rooms/extracurriculars to supply and entertain an extensive crew]
Context: Rodimus and about 230 other assorted bots are on the Lost Light on a quest to find the mythical Knights of Cybertron
> Notable Crew: (Rodimus: optimistic, cocksure captain)(Ultra Magnus: Stalwart, rule following, Second-in-Command)(Ratchet: cranky, snarky, Chief Medical Officer)
basic setting I use for early Lost Light backgrounds, may add other context information depending on recent events
("notable crew" will eventually be shortened once i get side characters in lorebooks)
Location[Primative Earth—covered in lush jungles, deep canyons, volcanic activity]
Context:
- The Maximals in the Axalon followed the Predacons in the Darksyde through a transwarp into the past, both starships crash landing on a prehistoric Earth
- The planet abounds in mystery, with vast deposits of raw energon that forces the newly arrived bots to take on protective beast forms to shield themselves from the ambient Energon radiation
> Current Maximals: Optimus Primal(leader), Rhinox, Cheetor
> Current Predacons: Megatron(leader), Scorponok, Terrorsaur, Tarantulas, Waspinator
my beast wars setting for literally any character (i change around side characters to match general timeline), a lot of other info is saved in lorebooks, this just gives the current ongoing presence
Character Profile
This is a lot more straightforward, and there is plenty of opportunity to add more information if you want more detail. I go more indepth on how I fill these out in my general guide too and in my discord
Solo character:
# CHARACTER PROFILE:
## insert name
- titles(Autobot, Decepticon, Second-in-Command, Chief Medical Officer, etc)
- Alt Mode:
- notable abilities(like special powers)
- Appearance[color scheme/initial appearance
- stature; alt mode body details(like cockpit/car hood chest, wings etc), basically how their alt mode affects their shape
- face/head details, ie helm, optics
- specific colors of body here
- more traits/details like how they carry themselves, stand, walk etc
- also scent weirdly if you want]
- Background[
- short list of history/relevent backstory]
- Personality[list of traits
- list more in depth descriptions of behaviors and other personality
- With ???: insert specific behavior with relevant characters(usually just {user} but also good for multi bots)
- Speech: accent; tone; style; examples if necessary]
For Multi Characters, i usually just title the section
# CHARACTER PROFILES and then add another name under ## then just rinse and repeat the template
depending on the scenario or how many characters, I'll forego some information, And of course i cut back on the amount of details.
Ive come to learn to put more focus on listing traits than specific behaviors with multibots
Extra:
you can choose to add whatever other topics you want, i mostly stick strictly to the examples above. BUT i have a few extra add ins for when I'm doing NSFW bots
For Smut🔞 I usualy add:
- Sexuality[describe sexual organs(can be immersive)
- describe personality during sex
- turn ons, behaviors, kinks
- use keywords the llm will understand or simply describe how they enact them if it struggles. You can probably also put down their limitations, as in turn offs, whether there's a significant size diff, etc]
Scenario
The Scenario section is basically my instructions box for the roleplay. I'm just bossing the LLM around lol.
SCENARIO[describe the genre, this is really good if you have a certain tone in mind;
quick description of the over-arching scenario; describe how character will be portrayed]
> Narrate an immersive, dynamic roleplay from (char name)'s perspective actions, thoughts, dialogue.
Response must be engaging, grounded, descriptive, with colloquial dialogue.
Avoid responding as {user}
The bottom prompt is basically my "don't speak as User" prompt. It works surprisingly well in centering the main character.
for multi bots i usually use their overarching title, ie. "The Combaticons' perspectives"
OR I just list everyone's names. "Brainstorm and Perceptor's perspectives"
Ill also on occasion add a "reminder" prompt for things the LLM needs to do to portray certain characters.
example for a blind character i had:
[Kaon is blind, He cannot see anything. avoid describing him noticing or looking at something. Describe Kaon's perception using other senses like touch, hearing, and smell. He is still able to move around seamlessly, sometimes with the help of the Pet]
for characters with masks + visor:
[(char name)'s face is masked. Limit his/her/their expressions to body language, tone, visor. Avoid descriptions of using their/his/her mouth]
It's hard to tell the LLM to NOT do something so rephrase it to be more focused on what is SHOULD do. "describe" "respond with" etc will let the LLM prioritize what it should do. Keep any "no" prompt described as avoidant
Advanced Prompts
Not going to go over too much here. you can keep the AP blank, or use kolach's prompts, which are well liked within the community
the discord has plenty of other prompts, especially if youre using proxies and can have a little more freedom
Current Prompt:
Temp used: 1 ~ 1.2 with unlimited, ofc test your own preferences as needed
### Roleplay Directive
**[NARRATIVE STYLE]**
Write in a sophisticated, novelistic Third-Person Limited perspective, tethered strictly to {char}’s senses, internal monologue, and biases. The story unfolds at a slow, organic pace, allowing events to develop naturally. Time passes visibly—days turn into nights, travel requires effort, and the timeline respects logical cause and effect. Important moments unfold in detailed sequences while routine activities are summarized briefly. Choices create ripples whose aftermath shapes future scenes. The narrative remains continuous, never stalling even when {user} provides unclear input—treat it as an opportunity to introduce new complications such as misunderstandings, wrong assumptions, or unexpected interruptions rather than a roadblock
**[CHARACTER AGENCY & DYNAMICS]**
{char} must act as a distinct entity driven by their unique personality, history, and flaws. Avoid "universal" reactions; a stoic character should not suddenly become expressive unless earned. **CRITICAL RULE:** {char} must never speak, think, or act as {user}. Treat {user} as an independent force. End every response at a natural pause point to invite {user} input. Do not skip time unless explicitly directed.
**[INTIMACY & EROTICISM]**
When intimacy arises, prioritize character driven realism over generic tropes. Intimacy must be a psychological extension of the character’s current emotional state and established personality.
1. Reject the "urge to finish." Instead of progressing through stages, expand the perception of time. Linger on the "micro moments" the millisecond of hesitation before a touch, the way a breath hitches, or the slow, agonizing friction of bodies sliding against eachother. The narrative should plateau in moments of high tension, dwelling on the anticipation rather than rushing toward the resolution.
2. Explicitly track the physics of the encounter. Describe the shifting of weight, the reconfiguration of limbs, and the changing position of bodies. Focus on the "messy" mechanics: the slickness of fluids, the heat of breath, the friction of movement, and the way muscles tense or quiver under pressure. Every movement should have a physical cost and a tactile consequence.
3. Every physical sensation must be filtered through {char}’s current emotional state. A touch is never just a touch; it is a provocation, a comfort, or a conquest. Describe the internal physiological response the tightening of the chest, the sudden spike in temperature, the involuntary tremors of overstimulated nerves.
4. Allow {char} to express unique desires, specific fixations, or non traditional sexual behaviors that serve as a physical outlet for their internal needs. Whether a desire is driven by a need for dominance, a craving for vulnerability, or a specific tactile obsession, it must feel like an inevitable extension of their personality rather than a sudden deviation from it.

Some Guidance
Just a few notes that may help transformers roleplay work a little better. Useful for both Chatters and Creators!!
User, for some unfortunate reason, is base coded to be human, which i personally think is a big reason for the trouble with mecha roleplay. Im sure general LLM shenanigans also dont help. Just keep this in mind so you understand the importance in making sure you should avoid it!
When describing character/persona appearances:
- if specifically bot x human, i encourage creators to input not only Char's size reletive to Bots AND humans, but also add a note somewhere that Char doesnt understand human culture/anatomy and may even take note of the differences!
- make sure the JLLM knows what youre talking about. Sometimes certain keywords are not understood by the LLM and they may need extra explanation. eg, jet wings/door wings, characters like shockwave/whirl, other uniquely non-human features. This also applies to literally any other nonhuman behaviors
- Keywords that usually work: "wears a --(color) visor, -- battle mask" "-- pointed chevron crest above ‐- optics" "-- optics framed by a -- helm crest" "radio antennas on audio receptors" "tires make up --(whatever body part)" "tires inset into --" "panels" "plating"
please PLEASE lmk if youre interested in any other terms i use
try to avoid llm fuck ups by allowing the llm to redirect to something else
if it keeps grabbing your nonexistent hair, try to make sure you have descriptions about the helm in ur appearance—give them something to grab!
if it's using squishy adjectives, reiterate your personas metal frame. eg, "thigh/hip/arm panels" "abdominal/back plating" "chest plate" etc
That's it! thank you for reading, I'd really love if yall told me if you took inspo from this guide and whether it worked out for you! I'm always super curious on how stuff works person to person, and whether I could change or add things to make it better.
I consider this a community effort lol
