This guide combines current product behavior with practical techniques developed and tested by the ourdream creator community.
The character-creation and image-prompting sections were distilled from Careful Character Crafting and the OurDream.ai Encyclopedia of Character Crafting by carefulCrafter.
The concept development, two-pass workflow, character-field architecture, progression systems, gallery planning, and stress-testing sections were distilled from The Unnecessarily In-Depth OurDream Character Creation Guide by Olliebird, in collaboration with TheLostCost and CarefulCrafter.
The chat, memory, pinned-memory, and persona sections were distilled from the updated community memory guide by Mokoto.
The public-character and Community Preset sections were distilled from the moderation team’s public approval and rejection guidance.

Help improve the guide
The guide is designed to grow as the platform and community practice evolve. If a control has changed, an instruction produces outdated results, or an important workflow is missing, send the correction through the in-product support flow or share it in the ourdream Discord.
Community techniques are practical recommendations, not guarantees. Model output varies, and the current Terms, product controls, and Trust & Safety site take precedence. Last modified on July 27, 2026
