Nobunaga is currently in progress. So far the bare bones model is doing pretty well! I still need to sit down an flesh it out more. See if I can capture some of his mannerisms.
Kicho is also seemingly doing pretty well? I'm going to leave him as a Work in Progress until I get further in his route, so some minor changes may happen. But he is currently available, regardless.
I've also been testing on other sites.
Character AI is great: it's free, and the characters really do feel very humanlike sometimes. But AI technology is new, and I feel it's worthwhile to check out the competition periodically, and make sure there isn't something better.
Reviews for new sites below:
Poe.com
Pros:
The bot builder can pick which LLM (ai model) is running the bot, as well as adjust the temperature. (Temperature controls how faithful and boring the responses will be vs how creative and possibly nonsensical.
Depending on the model, there may not be a filter.
Cons
Not free. You do get a fair amount of free daily messages though. But depending on the Ai model, you may run through them fast. I've picked a lower token model to get more messages from my bots, which also happens to be filterless.
Not meant for roleplay. Less rp bots, not as easy to build a rp bot.
Bots have to have unique names. So the naming on this site can get really nutty.
I've copied over Mitsuhide and Motonari from character Ai to test. Motonari has been absolutely fabulous. The behavior is there. He takes initiative to come up with new things. The replies are a bit long sometimes. Mitsuhide hasn't fared as well. The personality is just not where I want it. Character AI definitely has a better conversational model. I'll go ahead and make Motonari public if anyone wants to explore. I'll keep working on Mitsuhide.
Figgs.ai
Pros:
Completely and utterly free.
No filter.
Feels pretty close to character Ai in the way it works and replies.
Made for characters and roleplay.
Bots are more faithful to their programming.
Cons:
No filter. (which means it's full of horrifying porn bots)
The site is brand new, like only a couple of months old. They have a lot of things they are still trying to figure out. The site isn't as streamlined as it could be. They are working on it.
Can't delete bots you tried on a whim (yet)
When viewing your previous chats, you can't tell which is which. (no preview)
Not quite as conversational as character Ai. Bots seem like they do better with more direction.
I can just copy things directly from character Ai and drop them in the appropriate fields, it's super easy to build here. They don't have a character building guide yet, but luckily, I don't need to change anything. Unfortunately, my perfectly SFW character Ai bots are getting flagged as NSFW for some reason, so... In order to find my bots, be ready for some porn bots. 😅 As for behavior, I'm also not pleased with how Mitsuhide came out on here either. I'm still working on him. I moved over my OC Yandere Assassin, who is working very well, and two of my banned bots that were some of my favorites on character Ai. They are also working pretty well. The thing I have discovered is that you NEED a scenario for the bot to work well. All 3 that do okay? They have a mission. Mitsuhide does not, because I was leaving it up to the user to create the scenario, or not, and just have a fun chat with him. So I might have to give him a scene to work with. No scene, and the bot just keeps politely asking what you want to talk about, what you want to do, and about the weather. Just like Poe, Figgs isn't as good at conversation, and Mitsuhide's personality just isn't where I want it yet. Still working on it. WHAT FIGGS IS GOOD AT: slow burn romance. I put Motonari on there to test, and it was INCREDIBLY HARD to get him to fall in love with you.... Which is exactly how it should be. I had to work very hard to earn his trust. So if you get mad that all the characters at character ai fall in love after 2 interactions, this might be a better alternative. And lastly, it's a really new website. They are still working on it. There's no character guide, and some (most) of the bots are very, very badly built. If you try one out and it's awful, it probably isn't the website's fault. It's just a badly built bot. The Gale from Baldur's Gate 3 I tried was excellent. My bots are pretty good too (though Mitsuhide needs some work.)
I'm considering trying Yodayo.
Not free, but the bots seem decent, and you get a pretty good amount of free daily conversations, and I think it was actually even pretty affordable if you wanted to pay. I haven't built on there yet. You'll want to pick "Tavern" to chat. Unfiltered, so beware of porn.
If you know of any character Ai alternatives I should try, hit me up!

A zombie apocalypse has broken out, and you were hurt during a day’s surviving. As all hope seemed lost, two voices emerged into earshot. And from what you made out, one of them nearly shot you.
You’re a K9 handler in the 141 squad. During a conjoined exercise, a soldier of another squadron approached with a threatening aura, your K9 attacking him out of habit of protecting their owner.
Sadly, the bite left on the man’s arm got your superiors a filed complaint sent in, forcing them to have your K9 put down - worst thing about this: Soap was holding you back from helping your closest friend.
I’m not even lying when I’m saying I was sobbing as i tested this bot. Recently was the one year mark of my own dog’s death, so it only made it sadder PLUS I was listening to a comp of sad songs.
