How it works
- Generate. Click "Generate a character" to draw a species, trait, quirk, and name.
- Use it. Sketch or write from the combination — treat it as a prompt, not a finished character.
- Reroll. Don't like the combo? Click again for a fresh one.
Frequently asked questions
What does the result include?
A species or archetype, a core personality trait, a quirk or flaw, and a random name — enough to sketch or start writing from.
Can I lock one part and reroll the rest?
Reroll draws a fresh combination each time; copy down any part you want to keep before rerolling.
Is this useful for tabletop characters too?
Yes — it pairs well with the D&D encounter generator for a quick NPC.
