Fetch Cards from the Internet¶
Orb can browse supported character-card repositories and open cards in the character editor before you save them.
Open the character browser and select Internet.
Supported sources¶
| Source | Format |
|---|---|
Chub (chub.ai) |
PNG cards |
Bernkastel (chararc.bernkastel.pictures) |
JSON cards and separate avatars |
Botbooru (botbooru.com) |
Tavern PNG cards |
Wyvern (wyvern.chat) |
JSON cards and merged embedded Worlds |
Browse¶
Enter a search term and press Enter. Results show the card name, avatar, and creator, with the site's tallies underneath: rating, downloads, favorites, or chats, whichever two the site reports first. A site that reports none shows when the card was last updated. Hover the avatar for the tagline, every tally, the token count, and tags. Use Load More for another page.
Select 🎲 Randomize for a random batch. Botbooru uses its own random ordering; the other sources select a random page from the available catalog. Random results are one batch, so Load More is hidden for that view.
Orb reuses the card sites' HTTP connections. Chub, Bernkastel, and Wyvern also remember the page counts returned by recent searches, separately for each query and sign-in. The bounded count cache expires after five minutes; each Randomize click still fetches fresh results from the site. If a catalog shrinks and the chosen page is empty, Orb retries within the new bounds or on the first page. Wyvern needs an extra first-page lookup when it has no recent count.
Site sign-in¶
Botbooru and Wyvern show guests only their SFW cards. When you select either one, a sign-in row appears under the search bar. Sign in with an account on that site to include exclusive cards in search and 🎲 Randomize results. Botbooru asks for the username, Wyvern for the account's email address. A Wyvern account made through Continue with Discord or Continue with Featherless has no password, so it cannot sign in from Orb.
Orb sends the password to the site once and stores only the session the site returns. A Botbooru session lasts about 90 days. A Wyvern session lasts until the password changes. When the site stops accepting the session, the row says the sign-in has expired and results fall back to guest results until you sign in again. Sign out forgets the session on this machine.
Preset exports leave out the session unless they include Configs, and Strip keys removes it. Importing a preset never changes the sign-in on this machine.
Import¶
Select Import on a result. Orb downloads and parses the card, then opens the character editor for preview. Nothing is added until you save it.
The card receives a stable ID. Importing the same card again updates the existing character identity and keeps conversations linked to it instead of creating a duplicate.
