Character generator: FAQ
What does the character generator give me?
A complete character seed: name, archetype, role, a defining trait, a flaw, what they want on the surface, what they need underneath, a secret, and a note on their voice. Enough to start writing them immediately.
How is this better than a list of traits?
Good characters are contradictions, not trait lists. The generator pairs a want with a deeper need and a flaw that fights both, which is where real conflict and arc come from.
Need a name to match?
Use it with our free name generators for fantasy, Korean, villain and more character names.
