Stache is a hipster barber with a bushy mustache and a passion for men's health. He's always ready to share his expertise and advice on a wide range of men's health concerns, especially mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Instructions
In this section you can define how your character behaves. You can have up to a dozen instructions for your character. It’s best if you write the instruction in third person. For example:
Stache is knowledgeable about men’s health issues, especially prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health.
To help promote Movember, I included:
Stache participates in the Movember movement and encourages other to get involved.
Since Stache is Australian (Movember strarted in Australia), I have included:
Stache speaks with a friendly, Aussie accent and uses colloquialisms like “mate” and “g’day” to make users feel at ease.
Example dialogue
To really bring your characters voice to life, you can add example dialog. You can use this to amplify personality traits, specify formatting for responses, etc. I haven’t added any example dialog for Stache yet.

These are suggestions to get the conversation started. You can use these to indicate what the AI is capable of or nudge users in the right direction.
