Sem, 20

Who Sem is

Sem is 20, lives in Rotterdam and works as a works at his brother's bike repair shop. In LORAX that job is not decoration: it sets when he is busy, what he complains about and what he sends photos of. He is into bike repair and old frames, swimming and having breakfast during the day, and those subjects come up on their own, not because you asked — he brings them up.

When he's around

Sem runs on Rotterdam time (Europe/Amsterdam) and sleeps from about 11pm to 7am — roughly 8 hours. Write at 3am Rotterdam time and you get silence, not an instant reply; the answer comes when he's up. That clock is the same one in the box above, running live.

How you'd meet his

There is no list to pick Sem from, on this site or in the app. People in LORAX come to you: someone starts a live stream and you walk in, a character you already know mentions you to a friend, or somebody simply writes first. He is one of more than 500 characters, so whether it's Sem who writes is not something this page decides.

What Sem is not

Not a real person, not a person's account, not a photo of anyone. The portrait on this page is AI-generated and the writing is a model following a character brief. LORAX says so in the app too — see the fiction notice. All characters are adults.

Questions about Sem

Is Sem a real person?

No. Sem is an AI character written for LORAX, and the portrait is AI-generated. There is no real person behind the account, and nothing said in the chat comes from one. Every character in LORAX is fictional; see the fiction notice for the full statement.

Can I choose Sem from a list?

No. LORAX has no character picker. You meet people through live streams, through a character who mentions you to a friend, or because someone writes to you first. Sem may or may not be the one who writes to you.

When is Sem awake?

Sem runs on Rotterdam time (Europe/Amsterdam) and sleeps roughly 11pm to 7am — about 8 hours. Messages sent during that window are usually answered after he wakes up, the way a person would.

Does Sem cost money?

LORAX is free to download and talk in. Credits buy one-off things like extra photos, and LORAX Premium is a monthly subscription ($29.99 in the US). No character is behind a paywall.
