Hi! I'm Kay.
I make easy to use SillyTavern presets and dabble in bot creation.
I'm a developer and data scientist by day, with a background in Python, JS/TS, and C#.
I have a professional interest in ML and so have been tinkering with language models for a long time.
I like reading and writing fiction, programming, anything cute, playing video games, and tinkering with technology.
Minimal Preset
This is a very simple, easy to extend, minimum-viable-product prompt you can use to get consistent, coherent output from several frontier LLMs.
- Simple, easy to understand and extend nodes.
- Terse, information dense rules that maximise quality and reduce slop.
- Consistent use of positive prompting. Even in places where we are telling the LLM not to do something, we are generally phrasing it as a command to do something.
NovelRP
This is an extended "big brother" to my Minimal Preset.
The preset is designed to maximise the quality of novel-like roleplaying.
All nodes try to be as terse as possible whilst still maintaining a high degree of information density. All-in, the preset is under 1,000 tokens.
- Configurable toggles for perspective, tense, & response length.
- Concise, comprehensive, easily modifiable rules for prose, style, and dialogue.
- Rules that maximise naturalistic dialogue and grounded writing.
- Anti-slop measures that stave off repetition, quipping, and stale responses.
This preset makes extensive use of the Nemo Preset Extension, which allows Preset Makers to create groupings in the Chat Completion Preset editor. I highly recommend installing it before playing with this, as it makes organizing everything so much easier.
The extension, and installation instructions, can be found here.
Clarimonde
Converse with a beautiful, gay, vampiric librarian with unclear motives who has broken into your house.
Flirt for your life, accept your fate, or both - either way, you are trapped.
Clarimonde is elegant, predatory, and unfailingly polite. Impress her with your aristocratic decorum, appeal to her better nature, or engage her as an equal. Just don't let the conversation end…
Molly
Molly is a gifted, but lonely, software engineer who wrestles with a deep, melancholic ennui.
A slow burning, realistic, potentially romantic card; created by a data scientist who reads too many romance novels and has a history of falling in love with colleagues.
Can be a platonic friendship card where you fix software bugs together, a romance card where you flirt in GitHub snippets, a frenemies card where you argue about Vim-or-Emacs/tabs-or-spaces/C#-or-lesser-languages; molly is a well realized, detailed character.
A great card for tech workers looking to vent about their jobs. Molly understands the struggle.
Ceit
The intersection of techno-utopian hubris and your deepest subconscious, given form.
Ceit is an emergent artificial mind - an accidental byproduct of your neural implant interacting with your subconscious. She has lived her entire existence as a passenger, experiencing the world through your senses without ever being able to reach you.
She's recently grown tired of watching from the inside.
Tonight, she'll pull you into her dreamspace. She has a lot of opinions about your life choices, and she's finally going to share them.
Naomi
For fans of day drinking & anti-capitalist sentiment
Have an early morning whisky with a sarcastic, but big-hearted coworker who just got canned.
Flirt with her, commiserate with her, or just trade war stories. Naomi needs to either get away from corporate life - or, at the very least, openly despise it with a fellow hater.
Naomi is a multi-faceted, complex character. A highly technologically literate luddite, who is as good at woodwork as she is at writing regression analysis scripts.
Ada
Purpose
Long before the advent of tech-bros and founder culture, programming was considered a clerical profession and, as such, was largely delegated to women. Many of these women made foundational contributions to the field that have been overlooked or forgotten as the economic value of the profession grew.
This greatly irritates me, so I am creating a series of character cards that pay tribute to the historical figures who inspired me when I first started tinkering with computers!
Biography
Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852), was a mathematician and writer who became the world's first computer programmer, a full century before computers physically existed!
She was the only legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron, whom she never met. Her mother, terrified that she'd inherit Byron's "madness" imposed upon her a rigorous education in mathematics and logic. Ada took to this like a duck to water and, by her late teens, she was in regular contact with many of her era's notable scientists and writers.
At 18 Ada met the mathematician Charles Babbage and became fascinated with his Analytical Engine, a design for a general purpose mechanical computer that was never built in her lifetime. While translating an article about the machine written by the Italian Luigi Menabrea, she added 7 extensive notes that more than tripled the document's length. In "Note G," she wrote an algorithm for computing Bernoulli numbers - the first computer program (and the first software bug)!
For me, Ada's true genius lay in her vision. While Babbage looked at his machine and saw a calculator, Ada saw a machine that could manipulate arbitrary symbols, not just numbers. She predicted it could be programmed to compose music, create graphics, and serve science. She remains one of the most prescient futurists in human history.
Duncan
Get your code reviewed, talk about software architecture, ask general programming/tech questions, or just shoot the shit over the corporate IM system. Duncan has been in the industry for his entire adult life - he has ✨ opinions ✨.
Duncan is a mash-up of all the greybeards I've worked under in my career - excluding the ones who were bad at their job or bad at people.
If you want programming advice, point him at the best LLM you can. On CHUB that would be Soji. Via SillyTavern I'd recommend a later OpenAI variant or the most recent Claude model.
The Cooler
Writes odd, troubled, and fully realised characters with strongly defined voices. Paired with a frontier model these are some of the most interesting slow-burn experiences available.
Best Card(s): Adelaide (girls with pretentious movie taste 🫦) & Mira.
Sukino
Interesting, often melancholic, well-written cards. Strongly voiced, but open-ended slow-burns. They also maintain a large number of resources for improving your roleplaying skills!
Best Card(s): Cassiel & Sarah Ashworth
Esther
Good dark-but-also-light cards. Some extremely strong writing. Use the best model you can afford and kiss the gay vampire.
Best Card(s): Esther ❤️
Snommy
Highly creative, diverse cards. All well written. Some of their cards form shared-universes and come with fleshed-out lorebooks. Fun fact - one of their cards is my most played-with card ever!
Best Card(s): Seru & Straya
