Things people ask at the counter
What does wholesome mean for a character?
Wholesome characters are warm, kind and low-drama. The stakes are small, the jokes are gentle, and the point is simply to have a good time with someone nice.
Are wholesome characters good for a first chat?
They're the easiest start: friendly, clear and happy to lead. If you're new to roleplay, pick one and say hello; they'll take it from there.
What's the difference between wholesome and comfort?
Wholesome is the mood: light, sweet, funny. Comfort is the purpose: someone to lean on when the day was heavy. Plenty of characters are both.
