"Evil ass Philippines" - My Filipino friend

REVIEW BELOW:

Kumusta fine shyts <3 Long time no see. I've been grid locked with making bots because I've constantly been second-guessing stuff, like format, imagery, 18+ content, etc. So I'll just ask y'all:

1. The matters of imagery & appearance

As you may know, the art typically doesn't match 1:1 with the character. Whether it's their physique, curves, etc. I know you guys mentioned before that you'd prefer keeping the shoulder-up bot images, so I won't necessarily change those any time soon. Instead, I'll attach the full image below in the descriptions from now on. My question is:

"Should the appearance & tokens of the bot match the image?"

2. The matters of first messages & formats

Currently, many of my older bots (annoyingly) act for the {{user}}. This was because I originally was inspired by such formats, but I no longer appreciate them and find it incredibly restrictive. I plan to rework them to remove the {{user}} being guided by the first message so that it's more free for you all. My question is:

"Should there be multiple unique first messages with set scenarios, or the base first message and a 'choose your own scenario' alternative?"

3. 18+ content & "lewd" tokens

As I've come to realize, I've noticed my bots aren't necessarily "intimate" or "engaging." They've began coming across to me as sterile or white washed, avoiding explicitly adult content for the sake of not being goonbait or controversial. If I can't even enjoy the funky stuff with my own bots, what makes me believe others will? So, my question is:

"Should more explicit/descriptive tokens & descriptors be included into bots, while still retaining their canonical personality and general outward expression?"

4. Bot requests & disinterest

I've noticed one of the main things holding me back from creation (apart from all of the above), is a mixture of shy hesitation (IE: "I don't want to be viewed weirdly for making this") and general disinterest in the character. Tons of people for example could be demanding a character, but my mind would just go "What's so special/interesting about them...?" My question is:

"Should recommendations be rigid checklists, or should they be more like suggestions (IE: "I'd really like to see Raiden Shogun, but it's fine if you do your own stuff and make Yae Miko!")"

PUTANG INA MO!!!!!!!
