Preset Profiles

Preset profiles let you save and restore a preset selection, block enabled/disabled states, and prompt-variable selections. You can bind these snapshots to specific personas, characters, or chats so Lumiverse switches to the right preset and configuration automatically.

The Problem Profiles Solve

Imagine you have a preset with 15 blocks. For one character, you want blocks 1-10 enabled. For another, you want blocks 3, 7, and 11-15 enabled. Without profiles, you'd have to manually toggle blocks every time you switch characters.

Profiles automate this. Each profile remembers which preset to use, the on/off state of every block inside it, and the configured prompt-variable values, then restores all three when you switch context.

Profile Types

Default Profile

A baseline snapshot for one specific preset. Think of it as that preset's "general purpose" block configuration.

Character Profile

A preset + block snapshot bound to a specific character. When you open a chat with that character, Lumiverse switches to that preset and restores its block states automatically.

Persona Profile

A preset + block snapshot bound to a specific persona. Switching to that persona restores its preset and block states, which makes one-click persona changes useful for distinct writing modes as well as distinct identities. A persona profile overrides a character profile, because the explicit persona switch is the newer contextual choice.

Chat Profile

A preset + block snapshot bound to a specific chat. This is the most specific level — it overrides both the default and character profiles.

Resolution Order

When assembling a prompt, Lumiverse resolves the active profile in this order:

  1. Chat profile — If the current chat has a profile, use it
  2. Persona profile — Otherwise, if the active persona has a profile, use it
  3. Character profile — Otherwise, if the character has a profile, use it
  4. Default profile — Otherwise, use the default profile
  5. Raw preset states — If no profiles exist at all, use the block states as they are in the preset

Chat, persona, and character profiles are authoritative: they choose the preset first, then apply that profile's block states. Defaults are stored per preset, so the default profile only applies to the currently selected preset.

Creating a Profile

  1. Configure your blocks the way you want them (enable/disable as needed)
  2. Click Capture Profile (or the equivalent in the Loom Builder)
  3. Choose what to save as:
    • Default — The baseline snapshot for the current preset
    • Persona — Bound to the active persona
    • Character — Bound to the current character
    • Chat — Bound to the current chat

The snapshot records the current preset, the enabled/disabled state of every block, and the current prompt-variable selections.

Use Cases

  • Character-specific prompts — A fantasy character uses narrative blocks; a modern character uses casual blocks
  • Per-chat tuning — One chat emphasizes action scenes (action blocks on); another emphasizes dialogue (dialogue blocks on)
  • Quick switching — Swap between "detailed" and "concise" block configurations without manual toggling
