Yato brings fun and engagement to your server with interactive roleplay commands. These commands display anime-style GIFs fetched from waifu.pics and nekos.life APIs, making server interactions more dynamic and entertaining.

​
Overview

Roleplay commands let users interact with each other through visual expressions. Each command posts an animated GIF with a custom message showing the interaction between users.

Hug

Give someone a warm hug

Kiss

Show affection with a kiss

Pat

Pat someone on the head

Slap

Playfully slap someone

Bite

Give someone a playful bite

Lick

Lick someone playfully

Blush

Make someone blush

Cry

Make someone cry (or cry yourself)

Smug

Show off your smug expression

​
Interactive commands

Most roleplay commands require you to mention another user. These commands create engaging social moments in your server.

​
Hug

Give someone a warm, comforting hug. 
/hug user:<user> [reason:<text>]
Example: 
/hug user:@friend reason:for being awesome
This displays an animated hug GIF with the message:
YourName hugs @friend, for being awesome

​
Kiss

Show affection with a kiss. 
/kiss user:<user> [reason:<text>]
Example: 
/kiss user:@partner reason:happy anniversary

​
Pat

Give someone a gentle head pat. 
/pat user:<user> [reason:<text>]
Example: 
/pat user:@friend reason:you did great
The reason parameter is optional for all interactive commands, but it adds context and personality to your interactions.

​
Slap

Playfully slap someone (all in good fun!). 
/slap user:<user> [reason:<text>]
Example: 
/slap user:@friend reason:for that terrible pun
You cannot target yourself with slap - Yato will respond with “Just why?”

​
Bite

Give someone a playful bite. 
/bite user:<user> [reason:<text>]
Example: 
/bite user:@friend reason:nom nom nom

​
Lick

Lick someone in a playful manner. 
/lick user:<user> [reason:<text>]
Example: 
/lick user:@friend

​
Expression commands

These commands can be used on yourself or others to express emotions.

​
Blush

Make someone blush or show that you’re blushing. 
/blush [user:<user>] [reason:<text>]
Examples: 
/blush user:@crush reason:you're so sweet

/blush
When used without a target, it shows you blushing. When targeting someone else, it shows you making them blush.

​
Cry

Show that you’re crying or make someone cry. 
/cry [user:<user>] [reason:<text>]
Examples: 
/cry user:@friend reason:that was so sad

/cry

​
Smug

Display a smug expression. 
/smug
This command doesn’t require targeting anyone - it simply shows your smug face to the channel. Example: 
/smug
Displays:
YourName smugs…

​
How it works

When you use a roleplay command:
  1. Yato validates the command (checking if you can target yourself)
  2. Fetches a random anime GIF from waifu.pics or nekos.life
  3. Creates an embed with:
    • Your interaction message
    • The animated GIF
    • Optional reason if provided
  4. Posts it to the channel for everyone to see
/hug user:@Alice reason:you're amazing
Result:
  • Message: “Bob hugs @Alice, you’re amazing”
  • Displays: Random hug GIF

​
Image sources

Yato uses two reliable anime image APIs:
  • waifu.pics - Primary source for most commands
  • nekos.life - Backup source for additional variety
Some commands randomly select between both APIs to provide diverse GIF content.

​
Limitations and errors

​
”You’re so lonely!”

This message appears when you try to use interactive commands (hug, kiss, pat, bite, lick) on yourself. These commands require targeting another user.

​
”Just why?”

This specific message appears when you try to slap yourself.

​
API errors

If the image APIs are unavailable, Yato will display:
Something went wrong, please try again later or join our Support Server to report this problem
If you encounter persistent API errors, wait a few moments and try again. The services are generally reliable but may occasionally experience brief outages.

​
Community engagement

Roleplay commands are great for:
  • Building community: Create fun, memorable interactions
  • Server events: Use during celebrations or special occasions
  • Icebreakers: Help new members feel welcome
  • Entertainment: Add personality to conversations

​
Tips for server admins

While roleplay commands are fun, consider:
  • Setting up dedicated channels for roleplay to avoid spam
  • Establishing server rules about appropriate use
  • Monitoring usage to ensure commands aren’t being misused
  • Encouraging positive interactions that build community
These commands require no special permissions and are available to all server members by default.
