Bukkit is an ambitious project designed to be a massive, open database of AI character definitions, specifically for roleplaying purposes. The aim of Bukkit is to provide a free and unrestricted platform for people to access and use these character definitions without relying on restrictive or increasingly privatized public websites. Unlike other platforms, Bukkit does not generate text or simulate AI conversations itself. It focuses solely on hosting character profiles, each complete with key roleplaying elements such as personality traits, initial messages, scenarios, and names. These characters are collected and curated through my own methods, ensuring a wide variety of personalities and settings for users to explore.

The motivation behind Bukkit stems from the growing number of AI character websites that have started to lock down their databases, making character definitions private and inaccessible to users. This trend has become a personal frustration for me, as someone who prefers local control over digital content due to my paranoid schizophrenia. The idea of interacting with AI on platforms that might harvest my personal data is uncomfortable, to say the least. Because of this, I’ve long downloaded AI character definitions to use offline for my own peace of mind. However, as more sites turn these character profiles into proprietary assets, it's becoming harder to find and download them for safe, local use.

Bukkit was created as a solution to this problem—a community-driven directory of freely accessible character definitions. By focusing on transparency and openness, it ensures that roleplaying enthusiasts like myself can continue enjoying AI characters in a secure and flexible way, without the fear of invasive data practices or limited access. The project’s long-term vision is to be a definitive repository of AI character profiles, open to anyone who values privacy and creative freedom.
