Question about an unorthodox RP method (persona is actually described in a lorebook entry)
My main issue with LLM roleplay is that the world constantly revolves around the {{user}}. NPCs seem to wait for my every move and are afraid to challenge or hurt me.
A while back, I read about an unorthodox RP method: the {{user}} card is kept nearly empty and functions as a narrator. The actual character is then described in a Lorebook entry instead. That way, the LLM (probably) treats this character as just another NPC.
However, if I write something like "{{user}} acts as Greg" (for example, Greg is my actual character) in the persona card, won't that just make the LLM think "{{user}} = Greg"? I don't understand how it should work.
To those who actually use this method: could you share examples of your persona cards and the Lorebook entries you use for your actual character? Also, what changes did you make to the character cards (i.e. {{char}}) to make this work?
PS: Sorry for any English
