#random generator

how to play: make a series of categorised lists with traits you personally find interesting to or tend to give characters. the categories can be whatever you'd like as long as there are at least 3 of them. you can put as many entries under each category as you wish, including allowing multiple rolls. anyone can use it to make new ocs. if you use someone else's, let them know so they can appreciate it! either way, tag some people at the end or leave it open for people to say you tagged them!

The Bard's Song Title Maker, or Folk Song Generator, for all your bardic and folk song needs. Get your title here!

This generator gives a title for a newspaper your OC can read ... or your walking sim can have lying around ... or your murder board articles can be cut out from. Try it out!

(Did you know it's really hard to find lists of world newspapers all in one place? I managed, obviously, but it's the kind of thing you'd half-expect there to be one Wikipedia page for.)

But perhaps you have a more specific setting for which you need a character to read a newspaper! In that case: read on.

This tool creates NPCs with:

Nearly four million unique names (2000 masc and femme first names seeded from the 1880 US census and the 1000 most common last names in the US)

personalities based on interpretations of the four humours and (sigh) the enneagram

How physically attractive they are

how old they are

a fantasy heritage and origin

and a secret (over 90!)!
