# Create and use a Scene

Create a Scene around a selected character with a clear situation, greeting and rules, then test its opening.

A Scene places a character in a particular situation. Use it when you want a distinct opening or scenario rather than a different identity for the user; that identity belongs in Persona.

## Build a Scene

1. Sign in on desktop Web and choose **Create → Scene**, or use a Scene-creation entry offered on a character's page.
2. Select the character for the experience.
3. Give the Scene a name that identifies the situation, such as **The Last Ferry Map**.
4. Describe the location, immediate problem and starting relationship. Make the Scene compatible with the character's core identity.
5. Write the greeting or opening interaction. Leave the user's response and choices open.
6. Add any supported Scene note, media or Lorebook settings you need, checking eligibility and costs.
7. Review visibility, save and test the opening. Return to edit the Scene if its instructions conflict with the character.

Example description:

```
{char} and {user} meet in the Lantern Archive during a storm. The harbor is closed. A damaged chart may show a safe footpath. {char} knows the archive layout but has not inspected this chart before.
```

An opening question could be: “Do you want to examine the torn edge first, or tell me where you found the map?” It gives the user a decision without prewriting their answer.

## Keep the Scene focused

Put situation-specific instructions in the Scene. Do not copy the entire character biography into every field. A Scene Note can guide presentation; a Lorebook can supply setting facts if the work and model support it. See [Notes, status bars and reply formatting](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_en/how-to-create-a-character-on-rochat/create-character-method-1-custom-creation/characters-note) and [Create, attach and troubleshoot a Lorebook](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_en/lorebook-guide).

If you need several speaking characters and a narrator, choose [Group Scenes and the DM](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_en/how-to-create-a-group-scene-on-rochat). If you are building a World, follow [Create a Rochat World](https://book.rochat.ai/rochat_book_en/rochat-world/create); a Scene is not automatically a World draft.
