# Find characters and creators

Find a Rochat character by name or theme, inspect a creator and choose a conversation with a useful starting situation.

Read this guide in: [English](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_en/discover) · [繁體中文](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_zh/discover) · [日本語](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_ja/discover) · [Español](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_es/discover) · [한국어](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_kor/discover)

Start in **Explore** when you want to find a character or creator. A specific name or a clear theme is usually more useful than a long instruction intended for a chatbot.

## Find a suitable character

1. Open Explore and use the search control when you know a name or topic.
2. Start with a short query such as “archive keeper” or “space explorer.” If results are sparse, try a broader term or the language used in the character's title.
3. Open a result and read its description and greeting. Check the language, premise and creator rather than choosing from the cover alone.
4. Open the creator profile if you want to see related works or confirm that you have found the intended creator.
5. Start a chat when the premise matches what you want to experience. See [Start your first character chat](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_en/getting-started) for a useful first message.

## Keep a route back

If the interface offers favorite or follow controls, use the one appropriate to the character or creator. You can also retain the work's share link. A saved link is more reliable for identifying a specific work than remembering a common display name.

## Why results can differ

Availability can change when a creator edits visibility, a work is reviewed, or your search language changes. A missing search result does not prove the underlying work was deleted. Try its saved link and check any access message.

If a result appears to impersonate someone or violate the Content Policy, use the report control or contact support with the work link. Do not copy an unfamiliar work into a new public creation merely to preserve access.
