Hi, you can change the backstory and other properties by using the Update Character function, you can find all the related info in the following documentation

Oh thank you, this will be extremely helpful, I’ve scattered the documentation but I guess I was blind XD

I don’t need to call any update function after that right?
Like when I change backstory in the site I’ll have to click update.
But when using update character node, I won’t need to call an update function it’ll just do it automatically?

Yes, it will update automatically

<@365628745886859267> is there a way to control state of mind in the engine?
I’ve set up a character that get’s angry if she doesn’t get what she wants.
it works in the side but in the engine she’s passive
