Cleverbot relies on responses- in other words, it just copies things people say, and eventually it has recorded responses to most of them based on what people have said when it said those things.

A "Characterbot", using the same system, would need tens of thousands of character impersonators to learn from.

Or it has an admin who makes the responses.

He makes the output and connects it to what inputs can be used, the cleverbot will ignore grammar mostly.

Say I say to Karkatbot "Eat a frog".
KKbot has no response so a message "Eat my frog" is added.
Admin then makes the response "I WILL DESTROY YOUR UNIVERSE HUMAN."
Next person to say "Eat my frog!", "Eat my frog KK" or "eat this frog" will get that response and possibly others. Multiple admins may make multiple responses creating a fully fleshed character.

It looks like Jabberwacky has a similar feature already at http://person.jabberwacky.com/yourbot. I don't think there's any way to enter the data except by talking to it, but at least it's able to act as a specific character. If anyone was dedicated though, they could probably make a realistic bot with it.

Yeah, being taught a "personality" is a pretty basic function of the "learning" chatbots (so much as you can call training a simple Markov model to produce human language - which is what the traditional ones do - "learning"). Offhand I can mention MegaHAL, the old download page even has a list of personalities you can try out (or not, since MegaHAL is ancient and trying to compile it might be a painful experience even to Unix experts). Actually a MegaHAL-type bot probably could get something like this done more effectively with a small corpus than Cleverbot, though I don't really know precisely how the latter works so don't take this as certain truth.

(or you could always program ALICE for specific characters, but that would be a huge pile of work)

All I can think about is how great it would be to stick the entire cast of Hamlet in one chat room.

[PTTG??]

The problem is that they'd just repeat the whole play with some deviations.

[Knight of Fools]

This would be pretty fun to see.

 This site has custom chatbots, a lot of which are possibly what you are talking about. Ignore the "most popular" though, most of those are porn bots.
