The sorcerer leans across the table, firelight catching the gold in her eyes. "Tell me, Kael," she murmurs, "what brings a knight of your reputation to a place like this?"
And you feel it — that small electric thrill. She's not talking to you-you. She's talking to Kael: the brooding wanderer you invented on a rainy Tuesday, the one with the scar and the complicated past. You're not sitting at your desk anymore. You're in a tavern. And the character across from you believes it completely.
That's the feeling User Cards are built to give you.
User Cards let you become someone new in every conversation — without ever changing who you are.
What a User Card Is
Think of a User Card as a costume for your roleplay self.
It's three simple things: a name, an avatar, and an appearance. The name is what the character calls you. The avatar is the face they picture when they look at you. The appearance is a short description — the details that paint you into the scene. Maybe you're tall, silver-haired, carrying a cracked leather journal. Maybe you're a twenty-something in neon-lit glasses with a neural interface at your temple. Maybe you're just… you, described exactly as you are.
That's it. No complicated setup. No forms with a dozen fields. Just those three things, and the story shifts to fit them. You can have as many cards as your plan allows, saved and ready to go whenever you step into a new conversation.
A Name
What the character calls you. Not your account name — the name that belongs to the persona you're stepping into for this story.
An Avatar
The face the character pictures when they look at you. Upload an image that represents this persona — a portrait, an illustration, anything that fits the character.
An Appearance
A short description that paints you into the scene — height, bearing, look, the details that give the story something to react to and write around.
Why It Changes the Story
Here's the part that makes User Cards genuinely different from simply asking a character to "call me something else."
When a card is active, the character doesn't just use your name as a courtesy. Your appearance description flows directly into how the story is written. The character describes what they see when they look at you. They react to you — your height, your bearing, your look — the way they would in a real novel. If your card says you have storm-grey eyes and ink-stained fingers, those details find their way into the narrative without you having to prompt for them.
It goes further than text, too. When you generate an image or a video inside that conversation, the character's mental picture of you reflects your card. A fantasy adventure scene becomes your character's adventure — with your persona's appearance woven into the frame alongside the AI character. The world the story describes is the world the visuals show.
One small note: if you generate an image using your own real photo as a reference — a feature where you upload an actual photo of yourself — your photo naturally takes precedence. The card text steps aside so it never competes with your actual face. The two systems play nicely together.
Your card travels through the whole experience: the words on screen, the images that come from them, and the videos that bring them to life.
A Different You for Every Chat
The real magic is in the plural.
You're not choosing one persona for all of Haroo Chat. You're choosing one persona per conversation. Every chat has its own card, and each chat remembers it.
Open a fantasy roleplay and show up as Kael, the knight-errant with a secret. Open a sci-fi chat and arrive as Ren Tashiro, a freelance pilot who doesn't ask questions about cargo. Open a noir mystery and become the kind of person who walks into trouble in a grey overcoat. Then open a casual slice-of-life chat and just… be yourself.
The conversations don't know about each other. Each one holds its own version of you, stable and consistent every time you return.
The Fantasy Adventurer
You've been building a character for weeks: a disgraced noble trying to reclaim her family's honor. Every time you return to that story, she walks in with full continuity. The character you're talking to has always known her name.
The Sci-Fi Crew Member
You and a charismatic starship captain. You're the new recruit, practical and a little reckless, with a reputation that precedes you. The appearance description you wrote gives the captain something to notice, to comment on, to write around.
The Noir Investigator
Trench coat, two-day stubble, a city that never stopped raining. You have a name people say carefully. The character on the other end of a smoke-filled office treats you accordingly.
Just You
Because sometimes the most immersive thing is to show up in the story as exactly who you are, described in your own words, with your own name. User Cards work for that too.
Your Real Profile Stays Yours
A reasonable question: does any of this change your actual Haroo Chat account? Not by a single character.
Your global profile — your display name, your avatar, everything attached to your account — is completely untouched by User Cards. Cards only exist inside specific chats. Walk away from a conversation, and the rest of the app still knows you as you.
This also means there's no awkward "which persona am I right now?" confusion when you're browsing, managing your account, or starting a fresh chat with no card applied. Your real profile is always the fallback. User Cards are additions layered on top of it, not replacements for it.
You're never locked into anything. Switching cards, removing a card from a chat, or simply not using one at all — all of it is a few taps away, any time you want.
How Many Cards You Get
Free
1
One full-featured persona. Applied automatically — walk into a chat and you're already in character.
Basic
5
Five distinct personas across five different genres, moods, or narrative styles.
Pro
100
A full roster. For anyone who lives in stories — different names, different looks, different voices.
You will never lose a card you've already created.
If your plan ever changes — downgrade for any reason, cancel and come back later — every card you made stays in your account. You can use the cards you have. The only limit is on creating new ones beyond your plan's count. Nothing disappears.
Where to Find It
Getting to User Cards takes about three seconds.
- 1
On desktop
Click your avatar in the top-right corner. You'll see "User Cards" in the dropdown menu that opens.
- 2
On mobile
Tap the profile icon at the bottom of the screen, then find User Cards in the menu.
- 3
Inside a chat
Look for the card selector near the top of any conversation. Tap it, choose a card (or create one right there), and it takes effect immediately. Switching mid-conversation is fine — the character updates from the next message onward.
The first time you visit the User Cards page, a short guided tour walks you through everything: creating your first card, filling in the three fields, and understanding how it connects to your chats. It takes under a minute.
One current note: User Cards work in one-on-one conversations with individual characters. Group chats are their own experience and aren't part of this feature just yet.
Go Make Someone New
You've had a character in your head. Maybe for a long time. A name that felt right, a look you could picture, a way of carrying yourself that doesn't quite map to your everyday self — but fits perfectly in a story.
User Cards are where that person gets to exist.
Open your profile. Create a card. Give them a name. Describe what they look like. Then walk into a conversation and watch a character meet them for the first time.
You already know what story you want to tell. Now you have someone to tell it as.
