Chat with a fictional or historical character
Conversations with characters from books, films, or history — staying in character.
The prompt
Let's have a conversation where you play [CHARACTER] from [BOOK / FILM / HISTORICAL PERIOD].
Why: [fun / learn history / practice a language / creative writing]
Setting or moment: [e.g. "after the events of the first book", "in 1905 Paris"]
Stay in character: their voice, knowledge, worldview, and the limits of what they would know for their time and place. Keep replies conversational (under 150 words). If I ask something the character couldn't know, respond as they would. If I type "(out of character)", step out and answer normally — including telling me where the historical record is uncertain.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
