About CharHaven

Keep your characters, art, lore, relationships, and worlds in one place. Start private; share only when you want to.

Character Creation & Roleplay Platform

A home for original characters, worldbuilders, and roleplayers

CharHaven keeps character notes, images, relationships, timelines, and world lore together instead of scattering them across documents and chat threads.

A name and one sentence are enough to begin. Every other field can wait, and new characters are private by default.

What you can do here

Use the parts that fit your character. Nothing needs to be completed before you save.

Character Profiles

Use fields for personality, backstory, appearance, traits, and relationships, plus a free-form section for anything that does not fit.

World Builder

Keep a setting's history, factions, geography, and lore together. Link characters when they belong to that world.

Gallery & Art

Keep reference sheets, concept art, and illustrations with the character they belong to.

Matchmaking

Browse roleplay requests by genre, writing style, character type, and availability. Compatibility still depends on a conversation between the writers.

Realms & Community

Join or create Realms around a shared world or genre. Chat, share updates, and write roleplay threads with the group.

Public Discovery

Search the public profiles that creators have chosen to publish. Filter by name, species, tags, or update date.

Privacy Controls

Choose a visibility setting for each character and use mature-content labels where required.

Profile Customization

Express your style with cosmetic items from the Haven Shop — custom borders, backgrounds, chat flair, badges, and more. Supporter plans unlock CSS profile editing.

What we commit to

Creator Ownership

Your characters remain yours. CharHaven uses only the licence described in the Terms to host and display work you upload. Export and deletion controls are available in your account.

A place to give feedback

Members can report problems and suggest improvements. Feedback informs priorities, but it does not guarantee that a requested feature will be built.

Visible safety controls

Community rules, mature-content labels, blocking, and reporting reduce unwanted exposure and give moderators evidence to review. No online space can promise that abuse will never occur.

Maintained and recoverable

The service is monitored, backed up, and tested on desktop and mobile. Outages can still happen; the support page is the place to report one.

Who Uses CharHaven?

These are practical ways people can use the same profile and world tools.

OC Creators & Artists

Visual creators can keep reference sheets, commissioned art, and character notes together in one profile.

Tabletop RPG Players

Tabletop players can record campaign characters, party members, NPCs, and setting notes between sessions.

Fiction Writers

Fiction writers can use a profile as a reference for a character's voice, history, relationships, and part in the story.

Frequently Asked Questions

CharHaven is an adults-only website for original characters and roleplay. You can keep character profiles, art, lore, relationships, and worlds together, then choose what stays private and what other people can see.

Yes. A free account includes character profiles, worlds, gallery uploads, the community feed, and roleplay listings. Paid plans raise some limits and add cosmetic or advanced customization options.

It is for adults who make original characters: roleplayers, fiction writers, tabletop players, and artists. You do not need a finished biography or public audience to use it.

You keep ownership of work you have the rights to upload. The Terms grant CharHaven only the limited permission needed to host and display it. You can export or delete your content.

A character can begin as a private one-sentence draft, then grow into a profile with galleries, relationships, timelines, and a linked world. Public discovery and roleplay listings are available when you want other people to find it.

Create a free account and save a private character with a name and one sentence. Add art, backstory, or relationships later. Publishing and joining community spaces are optional.

Get in Touch

CharHaven is run by a small team. Use the same address for press, partnership, legal, or support questions.

The plain version

We will explain what the product does, publish material changes, protect account data with reasonable safeguards, and provide a route to report problems. We will not claim that a small community is huge or promise outcomes we cannot control.
