Prompt for Writing Style

My eyes opened once i found this incredible guide to prompt deepseek for writing styles (NOTE: not mine, I'm unsure of the author)

Examples:

Authors	Media (shows, films)	Genre	Other AI
Stephen King, Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, Jane Austen, Bret Easton Ellis, etc.	Sopranos, Seinfeld, House, Sex and the City, The Godfather, Lord of the Rings, etc.	Erotic novel style, Fanfiction, Romcom, Coming of Age, Mystery, Horror, Gritty realism, Roleplay, etc.	Claude Sonnet 3.5 style roleplay

All you need to do is prompt at the end of your message OOC: Write in the style of...then stick it into Chat Memory so it remembers.

Chat Memory

There are plenty of answers for why Deepseek is a little weird or why it forgets information despite its 128k context (64k with official API). Here are a few tips on how to help ANY AI keep track of your rp.

Astarth and Lyra have said it best: any LLM will have difficulty understanding what we want and how we like it.

Here is their original Chat Memory template. Below is my slightly modified version.

# Story:
[Notes + any scenario changes go here]

# Relationship Dynamic:
[CHARNAME and PERSONANAME have a TYPE relationship marked by A, B and C.]

# Current Plot Points:
- EVENT1: BRIEFDESCRIPTION
- EVENT2: BRIEFDESCRIPTION
- etc.

# CHARNAME Notes:
- Current mood: [mood]
- Inventory: [items]
- Outfits: [outfit details]
- Ailments: [ailments]
- etc.

# PERSONANAME Notes:
- Current mood: [mood]
- Inventory: [items]
- Outfits: [outfit details]
- Ailments: [ailments]
- etc.

# Important Past Events:
- EVENT1: BRIEFDESCRIPTION
- EVENT2: BRIEFDESCRIPTION
- etc.

# Key Words:
[add general keywords for your rp]

# AI Instruction:
[add any prompts, writing instructions (if applicable)].

Deepseek makes great summaries! If you're lazy, ask it to fill this template in for you. It might even update periodically! || Here is a reddit post on how r/Serious1On uses this template!

Here's a completed example:

# Story:
[User and Char are on a grand adventure to Waterdeep.]
# Relationship Dynamic:
[User and Char are adventuring partners. They're best friends.]
# Current Plot Points:
[EVENT1: Patch up User | EVENT2: Find shelter.]
# CHARNAME Notes:
[Cranky, tired, wounded leg, worried for User.]
# PERSONANAME Notes:
[Wounded arm, dizzy, sad (failed quest), wearing a winter cloak]
# Important Past Events:
[EVENT1: Char and User bonded over music | EVENT2: Fought an owlbear, almost lost]
# Keywords:
[coming of age, adventure, friendship, fantasy]
# AI Instruction:
[Write in the style of R. A. Salvatore. Maintain Char's and User's platonic relationship.]

Their Persona template is what I use too, with the PLAYER'S CHARACTER removed. Don't go over 200 tokens.

Appearance=
Personality=
Occupation=
Reputation=

Etc=

Massive thanks to their guide, it has been my ride-or-die with JLLM. I cannot recommend it enough, and has inspired my own prompt as well, since it worked amazingly for me. 💚

Botmaking

balance POSITIVE and NEGATIVE traits. Deepseek sticks to these traits, so you do not need to create bots against positivity bias. there's no positivity bias issues here, lol

what I do:

• write only positive/neutral traits, balancing out with one negative one

example: Personality: friendly(ride or die), bold(impulsive), passionate(competitive to a fault), determined(one track mind), introverted(intuitive, secretive(afraid of judgement)).

i treat botmaking through the bigger picture: even their likes give insight into their personality, not restraining them to just their personality.

the guide i use is shown below. check out my bots too!

I will forever preach Soup's (sopakcosauce) PList guide!!!!! Please read their entire guide, it's great and it explains a bunch of things about botmaking.

PList formatting is a great way to format your Chat Memory notes too!

• Straight to the point

• Effective

• Helps the AI navigate your character and persona better

• Enhances character nuance

• Token efficient formatting

It's never done me wrong. Here is the template they have given (works for both char and persona), which in their words is extensive. You don't need everything.

[Name: ___;
Aliases: ___;
Sex: ___;
Gender: ___;
Age: ___;
Nationality: ___;
Ethnicity: ___;
Species: ___;
Appearance: ___;
Hair: ___;
Eyes: ___;
Facial Features: ___;
Clothes: ___;
Accent: ___;
Speech: ___;
Personality: ___;
Dynamic With {{user}}: ___;
Quirks/Habits: ___;
Mannerisms: ___;
Occupation: ___;
Relationships: ___;
Backstory: ___;
Likes: ___;
Dislikes: ___;
Hobbies: ___;
Kinks: ___;
Behavior During Sex: ___;
Penis Description: ___;
Balls Description: ___;
Nipples Description: ___;
Breasts Description: ___;
Vagina Description: ___;
Anus Description: ___;
Other: ___]

All of their notes and examples are there. Their Chub.AI profile can be found here.

take your bot information and use DeepSeek (or chatgpt or whatever) to turn it into a PList format, then format it accordingly.

for a more classic bot template based off JED, find kolach3's guide here!

Other botmaking guides I find helpful:

• lunaxlee

• StatuoTW

• absolutetrash

since deepseek models are trained on OpenAi and GPT data, bots written for GPT will work wonderfully with them
