Guide to Consistent Personas in Midjourney

Have you ever wanted to create a character in Midjourney and use them again and again in different scenes and situations? Getting the same character to appear consistently can be tricky. This post shows you a simple way to make your own recurring persona.

Start with Your First Image

The first step is to create the initial look for your character. Think about what you want them to be like. For this example, we'll imagine a female character who is blonde and in a military setting.

Here's how you start:

• Go to your Midjourney chat or server.

• Use the `/imagine` command.

• Write a prompt describing your desired character, like "a beautiful blonde military girl".

• Add any other details you want, such as aspect ratio (`--ar 3:2`).

Midjourney will generate several options based on your prompt.

Picking and Saving Your Base Image

Look at the images Midjourney created. Choose the one you like best for your character. Use the "U" button (like U1, U2, U3, or U4) to upscale that specific image. Once you have the upscaled version, save it to your computer or device.

Getting consistent results can involve several steps like this one. A tool that helps manage your prompts and images could make this process smoother. Consider checking out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to streamline your creative flow.

Get the Image Link and Seed Number

Now that you have your base image, you need two key pieces of information from it: the image address (URL) and the seed number.

Copy the Image Address

• Upload the image you saved back into your Midjourney chat. You can usually do this by pressing the plus sign (+) and selecting "Upload a File".

• Once the image appears in the chat, click on it to open it.

• Look for an option to "Copy Image Address" or "Copy Media Link". Select that.

Find the Seed Number

The seed number is vital for getting similar results. Every image in Midjourney has one. To find it:

• Put a reaction on the image you uploaded and whose link you just copied.

• Choose the envelope emoji (✉️). This sends image info to your direct messages with the Midjourney Bot.

• Go to your direct messages with the Midjourney Bot. You'll find a message containing details about your image, including the seed number. Copy this number; you'll need it later.

Define Your Character for Consistency

With the image link and seed number ready, you can now solidify your character definition. You need a way to tell Midjourney "use this specific look".

Create a Unique Character Definition

In the Midjourney chat, use `/imagine` and start building your character prompt:

• Paste the image address you copied first. This tells Midjourney to use that image's style and composition as a reference.

• Add a space after the image address.

• Give your character a unique, descriptive name. For example, "Captain Mary". This name will act as a consistent tag for her.

• Add a brief description of your character. You can repeat parts of your initial prompt like "beautiful blonde military Girl" or add more details.

• Paste the seed number you got from the bot using `--seed` followed by the number (e.g., `--seed 12345`). Using the seed helps reproduce similar images based on that starting point.

• Include any desired aspect ratio or quality settings.

Run this prompt. Midjourney should generate images closely resembling your original character.

Managing image links, seeds, and consistent prompts for multiple characters or projects can get complex. An automated system could significantly simplify this. Look into the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT for help with tracking and reusing your character definitions effectively.

Putting Your Consistent Character Anywhere

Now for the fun part: placing your character in different scenarios! To do this, you'll use the definition you just created (the image link, unique name, and seed) and add new scene details.

Here's the format:

• Start with `/imagine`.

• Paste your original image address.

• Add the unique character name (e.g., "Captain Mary").

• Describe the new scene or action (e.g., "sitting on a motorcycle in the rain").

• Include the `--seed` number from your original image.

• Add any style or aspect ratio parameters you want.

Run the prompt. You should see your defined character appearing in the new setting you described while maintaining her consistent look.

Conclusion

By combining an initial image reference, a unique name tag, and the seed number, you can create and reuse a consistent character in Midjourney across various prompts and scenes. This method allows you to build narratives or series featuring the same persona.
