For those who use Claude to rp.

hello! this is more of asking for help I know the tags doesn’t match so my apologies but those who use Claude to collaborate in stories, Roleplaying from tv shows movies, example: Stranger Things, Umbrella Academy, original stories, etc etc. how do you assign your role without Claude taking over. I’ve had to start over ten chats bec it kept on playing as my oc!!! even when I told it not to the next minute it would make my character make decisions speak in their prompt. i have instructions in memories “don’t play as my character make the world react around them.” of course I used the same instructions for ChatGPT and it got the hang of it eventually…they would play as other characters push the story forward but let me my have oc’s actions and decisions I know have it in memory AND preferences and it keeps on playing as my character! I have the pro plan so I do have access to memory and preferences aside from that claude has been incredible the creative writing, it has a personality !! I just need some advice or those who ran into the same problem (your characters being played by Claude) I would really appreciate it.
