Tool 02 · Character background
Build a believable character. One year, one event at a time.
Pick a world. Walk a guided flow. Roll or pick at every step. The tool hands you a structured background — cultural origins, family, childhood, motivations, and a year-by-year life events timeline that makes the character feel lived-in.
How it works
Three layers, your pace.
The tool is built in three layers. The Spine is the guided sequential flow: world type, origins, family, siblings, childhood, motivations, and the life events timeline. You walk it in order — each step builds on the last.
The Depth sections are optional worksheets. Detailed appearance, beliefs, fears, goals, character arc. Fill them when you’re ready — or skip them entirely.
The Output is the finished character sheet, exportable in PDF, Markdown, and Word.
Roll or pick
Every choice, both ways
Every list in the tool offers a die-roll button and a pick-from-list dropdown. Roll if you want surprise. Pick if you’ve got a specific idea. Switch freely on each step.
Saved locally
Your characters live in your browser. Multiple saves supported — name them, duplicate them, come back to them whenever. Nothing leaves your device.
World-driven content
v1 ships with a sci-fi world — cyberpunk, space opera, post- apocalyptic, near-future. Fantasy, modern, and historical worlds will land as add-on data when their content is authored.
