# Configure a Character

## Creating character

> A character has a name, can have an icon and a list of behaviors. That's all.
>
> To **create** a character use the command `/character create <name> [icon]`
>
> **name** is the name of the character, it will be visible when he sends a message.
>
> **icon** is optional and allows you to directly define the character's avatar. Links must redirect to image files in `.png` `.jpg`
>
> To modify the icon you can use the command: `/character edit icon`
>
> To modify the name you can use the command: `/character edit name`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.characterweaver.com/fundamentals/getting-set-up/configure-a-character.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
