Welcome to the new age of roleplaying!
Live-generate starting messages (no more fixed, repetitive roleplays), make your characters assertive and realistic, improve the overal LLM writing quality through auto-injected instructions mid-roleplay (OOC on steroids) - even for smaller and "stupid" models. No custom extensions in SillyTavern required. Everything works through simple, well-organized and internally labeled lorebooks - one embedded in a character card, two framework ones on your lorebooks list and that's it. It is as easy as it gets.
Here, you can buy me a Coffee. Just click on the banner above. I share everything for free, I've got a normal job - but I drink a lot of coffee and a token of support is always welcome if you're enjoying my work - and if you want to fuel my caffeine addiction :-D
In addition, you can find a lot of my other projects there. Some Reshade presets for different games, my custom TTRPG system (soon), different kind of goodies.
It is not a SillyTavern extension. SX-5 Characters Environment/Roleplay Environment is just a roleplaying system - activated through lorebooks. It is fully compatible with your existing character and it works out of the box. You may use it to diversify the experience or you can convert your character cards to the SX-5 format to unlock its full potential - which is very fun, powerful and worth your time but optional! Everything is triggered from a normal chat window - so not additional menus that usually come with extensions. Here - everything works in a vanilla SillyTavern and the functionalities actually make any similar extension obsolete.
LLMs have a natural problem with roleplaying transsexual characters. If character's pronouns are she/her and she's got breasts, for example, LLM always confuses private parts for transsexual characters. It's obvious and logical - since LLMs operate on trained conversations and tokens probability - so they default to male-female sexual interactions. It is super frustrating for those who like roleplaying with transsexual characters. Because you all asked for it - I decided to do something about it - and here it is. Reportedly, I succeeded - there are instructions inserted at low depth, which remind the LLM that a character is transsexual aka it has specific body parts and specific actions are possible with that character sexually. You need to activate a proper entry within the embedded character lorebook to make it work. Read further to understand what it actually means and how it works. It's super simple, I promise.
TTRPG Mode
By using a proper TTRPG sys-prompt, you can take the role of a Game Master/Game Mistres for your character. This time, you are not a character in the world - you control the whole world, you decide what happens - while LLM becomes your player in a TTRPG-like session. If you like D&D and other TTRPG systems, this is for you.
Example TTRPG Mode Experience
Embedded Character Lorebook
In SX-5 environment, a majority of the character definions, user definitions (optionally) and other important roleplay informations are located in the embedded character lorebook - rather than in a character card itself. To embed the lorebook, use a grey/green globe button in the character details applet:
When you already embed the provided Character Lorebook (MALE/FEMALE & TS) into the character, you can edit it all to create the SX-5 format character. You unlink the already embedded lorebooks or link the alternative ones here:
Editing the SX-5 Characters
You are advised to edit the lorebook entries when you want to change anything or when you want to swap one of the swappable variables in the already existing SX-5 characters - such as:
1. User Persona (empty by default - use it if you want - it had been in my SX environment before persona-binding to characters and auto-switch was introduced in SillyTavern but I still use it up to this day),
2. Character's Feelings/Opinion about User,
3. Character's Relationship with User (swappable mid-roleplay if you want! - that is more useful for a majorify of users, you do not need to edit the character, just switch the relationship),
4. Character's Outfit (swappable mid-roleplay too! - and that is the only way of doing it for now, you can prepare different outfits, change them for a given roleplay or mid-roleplay and it actually works),
5. Setting (the most important variable that auto-filtrates locations, scenarios and other things - so you do not end up flying a space-ship in a high-fantasy middle-ages world etc.),
6. Character Definitions - they are here - instead of the character card (but that is also optional! - Speech, Skills & Weapons, Profession, Background, Sexuality, Quirks, Manliness/Feminity Style, Likes/Dislikes, Personality, Appearance/Face/Body);
7. Specific NSFW states & preferences.
8. Character Lore - separated into categories: family, friends, rivals, home, vehicles, detailed likes/dislikes, universal world entries.
You do it by switching the trigger values from 0 (deactivate) to 100 (activate) & vice versa for one entry within a tagged group - such as: RELATIONSHIP WITH USER. Of course, you can also edit the entries. There are even some entries tagged as OPEN or CUSTOM - for your convenience - and this is where you place your own definitions.
The general idea is to edit a character within the lorebook instead of a character card. There are two separate ways of turning a given entry ON/OFF:
"Trigger" Value: 0 = turned off, 100 = turned on
ON/OFF Switch - it disables the entry exactly the same way but it also grey-outs, disappears and moves to the back of the lorebook. Do not use those unless you want to actually get rid of something for good and move it to the back of the lorebook. It is not a permanent deletion - just has a different purpose called CG-5 (Character Generator 5 - read further to understand what it actually is).
To edit the entry, just click on it and create a structured SX-5 string. It will work regardless - but those strings have been defined in sysprompts so to make everything work, it is the best idea following them. They're just often referenced in instructions in all the lorebooks. Structure is super easy:
{{"STRING NAME"}}:{CONTENT}.
CG-4 (Character Generator)
CG-4 aka Character Generator 4 is a set of carefully crafted personality, quirks, sexualities, body types and speech archetypes, which allow you creating ANY EXISTING CHARACTER IN THE WORLD BY JUST TURNING THE LOREBOOK ENTRIES ON/OFF. It is included within the embedded character lorebook of SX-5 format. I know, it sounds sketchy - but that's what I'm doing for a living. I am a game dev for two AAA gaming studios. All the characters in movies, games, books and any other media that you're consuming follow just the same, repetitive archetypes that were all included here. They are all turned off by default and located further down the embedded character lorebook. If you want to use any of those functionalities, you need to modify a character slightly - to follow the CG-4 format. It basically splits the "Appearance" block into two separate blocks: "Face" - where all the hair, eyes and facial features are defined; and "Body" - where all the body features come from but without the hair color and other features defined within the "face" block. It may look discouraging at first but it is very easy when you read the contents of the "BODY ARCHETYPES" at the end of the embedded character lorebooks. They lack things such as hair and eye color. If you look at the example SX-5 characters, the character card definitions include just the character's personal information - while appearence as a single block or divided into separate entries for "face" and "body" have been actually defined within the lorebook.
Move to the end of the lorebook. You will find a lot of pre-defined personality archetypes, quirks, speech patterns, sexualities, bodies etc. to choose from. Just activate one of them here - wich ON/OFF switch - this time
Don't worry, what you're seeing here is just 10% of what is actually available within the lorebook :-P
Now - turn what you want ON - for example - a given personality:
Return to the "Character" section within the lorebook. Turn the current Personality OFF:
Close the lorebook, open up a different one, then return to the character embedded lorebook and watch the magic happen - the personality you wanted replaced the previously active one - your character is someone else now! As simple as that! All the entries will move up to the "Character" section automatically, while those you turned off - also automatically - move to the back of the character lorebook, into their proper categories. All clean and easy to use.
