#congratulations.

It's a randomizer/die. Also note once you have the character set up you DO need to research. This is just to fill out minor characters/crowd scenes/more major characters you know you want but aren't sure beyond that/etc. Also note that if some form of Eugenics, isolationism, etc, is a PLOT POINT then ignore as needed.

1) Gender: Make this as long as you want, but you want at least 4. Male/Female/Nonbinary/Trans. Longer ones are for breakdowns of non binary (unique gender identifiers, non human gender notes, she/theys, etc)

2) Race: If you are dealing with just humans, then you'll need a couple. Black/Indigenous/Desi/Latin/Arab/Asian/White,etc. But if you h ave non human species, feel free to add them too. If one of your shop keepers is a mermaid in a land locked city, that's fun! More alien species makes that intergalatic spaceport feel more varied. etc.

2a) for more specific human based stories, you can refine it more if you want. Is the person black, or Nigerian. Are they Arab or are they from Oman? Are they Latin, or are they Venezuelan? Are they mixed race? Migrants/Immigrants? From places that are more complicated? etc.

2b) You should be doing something similar for your non human characters too if possible. Languages, dialects, religions, skin tone, etc vary across human cultures. Why not non human ones?

3) Sexuality: Gay/Lesbian, asexual, Bisexual, pan, poly, straight, whatever. Feel free to put in non human sexualities in here too.

4) Ability. Okay, this one you may want/need to break up a bit. For example, rolling an allergy on someone who won't be eating in a scene. But you can either get a list of "Disabilties" or divide it up and go from there. (Physical/Mental/dietary/etc) and roll based on that. the second version will have more options. Also don't forget to add "non disabled" as an option too. The WHO says 16% of people have some form of disability and it is rising due to age so for easy of rolling, around 20% of your cast should have some form of disability. This number can go up on a variety of factors (war, age, etc)

5) speaking of Age: that! Either get a randomizer up to 100 (or more as needed) or just divide them up into age groups and work from there. Once again, you don't need to have a 2 year old run a shop, but there should be more 5 and 75 year olds in a crowd scene.

6) Religion! Standard disclaimer vis a vis stuff like closed practices, but it makes things so much more INTERESTING when any sort of religion gets involved with someone's day to day activities. Planning something around a timed prayer, motions used for good or bad luck, ceremonies referenced, items carried with them, food they avoid, etc. Why deny yourself the joy of someone avoiding a poisoning attempt because it was served in something they can't eat for religious reasons? And while certain religions may be more populous under certain ethnic groups, go check religious make up of a country and it is usually much more diverse than you think.

7) general wealth. Again, this falls into "Divide it up" but especially for crowd scenes you should get SOME variety.

8) Fashion is not a randomizer thing but should be considered. Depending on all these factors, people should be wearing different things.

okay. Let's see what I get.

Using a random number generator and assuming basic human I have a:

1) Male

2) Desi

3) Pan

4) Herniated Disk

5) 53 years old

6) Christian

7) making roughly 75k to 100k a year.

I mean. That is someone that most likely exists. And plopping them into a crowd scene immediately makes it more interesting even if I don't end up using most of it.

And if you want to just start with one person and use the randomizer to build the rest of the family out as needed that works too.

As for lying, cheating, stealing - all depending on the circumstances. When people live in a gang like environment or in constant wars, that's how they survive. I also believe abuse at home can contribute to "rebellious" behavior. But yeah, I fully acknowledge sometimes there is no apparent "external" cause. There is no explanation.

When I think about ASPD all that comes to mind is Michael Meyers from the series Halloween. Here you have a character that really does not care about anything or anyone. Do you agree?

I find it hard to believe that in real life people like him are common. You skipping work or not paying people back might be classified as ASPD. Same for cheating on exams or letting other people pay for your living expenses. But...and it is a HUGE but, if you had someone you were close to and sincerely cared about, like your brother, best friend, and perhaps love of your life, would you treat them the same? If they needed help, would you not take them to the doctor? If they were hungry, would you not cook for them? If the answer is no, you would not, then I agree with you that you do have ASPD. If the answer though is YES, you would do all that, and MORE, for a significant other / favorite person, then in my book, you do not have an ASPD. I know it doesn't matter how *I* view the disorder. I know it doesn't count. It's just that a lot of people demonize ASPD or NPD and I do not. A lot of people would say Dr. Hannibal Lecter has an ASPD. But look what he did with Clarice (If you read the novel Hannibal it's a love story a' la Beauty and the Beast). He cared for her like one would a little girl. Extremely devoted. People call him psychopath or sociopath but he is an angel to me.

I do understand you never loved anyone deeply as you said you tried and it did not work, so maybe you cannot answer my question. Maybe you are too young to know.

Like you said, ASPD is not a monolith. I like to look at the cracks and find the divergence. I like to search for dissidents. Someone who is sui generi, non of the above, someone who cannot be fitted into a "category". I still don't think that looking at others as ladder steps prove that you are an extreme case of ASPD. Most ALL people lie. Altruism is such BS. People do nice things to see and be seen, like going to church. All those folks are hypocrite, and they are no better than you. They friend others to gain favor, even if they cannot admit it to themselves. People are wicked and I hate most people.

You’re annoying me. You aren’t my psychologist or psychiatrist. You don’t get to diagnose me or disqualify me from having a disorder I am diagnosed with based on your assumptions of me.

I as someone with antisocial personality disorder, CAN still do nice things for people. Doing some small positive thing does not disqualify me. Thinking that way is so ridiculous.

I would take my brother of best friend to the doctor if I wanted to and they needed it. I would not cook for them. Every situation is different. You need to understand that you do not know me.

Stop playing doctor.

You aren’t helping anyone, you’re just being annoying.

Every single thing I do is layered in nuance. When I do good things it can be for a whole range of reasons. Most of them self serving.

You say you have romanticised antisocial personality disorder, whatever I do not care. However I can tell. Do not let your romanticised version of my disorder delude you into thinking you have any power in my diagnosis.

I can tolerate curiosity but do not be fooled. I will not tolerate this.

You turned it off.

And on.
