In AI video creation, maintaining character consistency across different scenes and shots has always been one of the biggest challenges. OpenAI's Sora Character feature (also known as Cameo feature) completely solves this problem. By creating custom characters and obtaining unique Character IDs, you can maintain perfectly consistent appearance and characteristics for the same character across countless videos. This article will provide detailed explanations on how to create and use Sora Character based on practical experience.
Sora Character Feature Overview
What is Sora Character?
Sora Character (Character feature) is a major feature launched by Sora in 2025, allowing users to:
- Create Reusable Custom Characters – Extract character features from videos
- Obtain Unique Character IDs – Each character has a unique identifier
- Maintain Consistency Across Scenes – Use the same character in different videos
- Quick @mention Calling – Reference characters in prompts through @id

Problem: Each generation has slight appearance differences, accumulated differences cause "character drift"
Sora Character Method:
Usage: @frostfangd (pre-created character ID)
Effect: 100% consistent appearance, features, style
2. Simplified Workflow
- Create once, reuse infinitely
- No need to repeat character details each time
- Team collaboration shares character assets
3. Brand Image Protection
- Ensure brand mascot image consistency across all content
- Avoid character image loss of control
- Build recognizable visual IP

- Character occluded or cropped
- Too dark lighting, unclear details
- Single angle, lacking full appearance display
- Background overly complex and chaotic
2. Character Naming Strategy
Display Name:
✅ Distinctive: "Frostfang Dragon" better than "Dragon"
✅ Include Features: "White Robot Cat" better than "Cat"
✅ Brand Related: "Happy Brand Robot"
Username (ID):
✅ Short and Memorable: frostfangd
✅ Unambiguous: Avoid easily confusing characters
✅ Brand Consistent: Related to brand name
✅ Unique: Check if already in use
❌ Avoid:
- Too long username: thisfrostydragonfromthenorth
- Random characters: x7j3k9m
- Number stacking: dragon12345678
3. Character Description Standards
High-Quality Description Template:
[Character Name] is a [type/species],
main features include [appearance feature 1], [appearance feature 2], [appearance feature 3],
personality shown as [personality traits],
applicable scenes: [scene type 1], [scene type 2]
Example:
Frostfang is a majestic Northern giant dragon,
main features include dark gray metallic scales, ice-blue glowing eyes, four black sharp horns,
capable of breathing blue fire,
personality shown as loyal, brave, proud,
applicable scenes: fantasy battles, epic narratives, guardian roles
Usage Tips and Advanced Strategies
Tip 1: Character and Scene Matching
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Match:
@frostfangd flying over snow-covered mountains
(Dragon's Northern setting perfectly matches snow mountain scene)
⭐⭐⭐ Good Match:
@frostfangd circling above castle
(Universal scene, adaptable to most dragon characters)
⭐ Incompatible Match:
@frostfangd playing on tropical beach
(Northern frost dragon conflicts with tropical scene setting)
Tip 2: Emotion and Expression Control
Precise Emotional Expression:
Basic: @character_id looks very happy
Optimized: @character_id eyes showing joy, corners of mouth slightly raised, body relaxed
Advanced: @character_id hearing good news, eyes widening in surprise, then showing warm smile,
whole body radiating joyful energy, tail wagging happily
Emotional Intensity Control:
- Mild: Slight frown
- Medium: Obvious confused expression
- Strong: Shocked, eyes wide, mouth agape
Tip 3: Action Detail Description
Action Chain Design:
Simple Action:
@character_id stands up
Compound Action:
@character_id first crouching to build strength, then pushing off ground hard,
leaping into air, spreading wings mid-air, gracefully gliding
Action Sequence:
@character_id slowly raising head from rest state,
alertly pricking up ears,
standing up entering alert posture,
growling once as warning,
finally spreading wings to show threat
