Ok let me explain what I mean by branching , which may or may not be what the community means by it.

Let’s say you are doing a roleplay, and in your quest to find the holy Graal you are in a tunnel which branches out, you can either go left or right. But of course you would like to explore both options and see where both options would leans in a roleplay. So, there comes ‘branching’ - at this very moment you bifurcate your imaginary roleplay world into 2 parallel worlds - 2 parallel roleplaying continuations. In one of them, you continue into the left tunnel, in the other into the right tunnel. And, effectively, you end up with now 2 conversations which you can continue. Does this feature exist in c.ai , or is it a used amd required and important feature on other platforms?

I know and apologise if this question was asked already , but what are most popular ones?

And I probably am not asking about very specific names, but more about, are these characters either exactly the same as in poplar (manga/anime/fill in something here) series, or based on them? Or completely original characters? Depending on the answer on the previous questions, what about intellectual property rights, does c.ai has any agreements with anyone , or are they actively hunting and removing such canon/similar characters?
