Chevaleresse Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Anyone want to see this as a collection of different things to help get the details of a character down? Including stuff like character creators, name generators, et cetera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sure thing, I don't see why not Considering we would probably need to get an in depth thread regarding that up eventually, might as well do it now rather than later. Also, I might have a few generators lying around in my random toolbox...let me check for a minute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 You could re-purpose it, I personally don;t mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'll probably scrape together a few other things I can remember off the top of my head and put them here, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Oh, here's one of the generators I have on hand http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=quickname It's a naming one. Generates a series of random names assembled base on consensus data from the US. Good for most RP Genre's probably, and even if the names it comes up with aren't quite fitting for a particular world someone will be playing in, they can still serve as inspiration.

Zephyrus the Priestess Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Ah, Seventh Sanctum. That gave me a ton of name ideas, especially for that dragon I made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Ah, Seventh Sanctum. That gave me a ton of name ideas, especially for that dragon I made up. Indeed... but the one I linked to above is honestly the only Character Name Generator on that site which I would suggest to anyone. The other one's regarding Characters aren't quite as serious.

GotWala Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Ooh, this looks interesting! I've dabbled with the Joy-Ling character maker before, though I usually use this one as I can edit it easier in paint: http://hapuriainen.deviantart.com/art/Pokemon-trainer-Creator-v-2-257074027 I'll find some more things like this if someone else doesn't, haha. EDIT: Gah, I don't know how I missed it, but Telos already posted this generator, haha! Edited December 4, 2014 by GotWala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 http://fantasynamegenerators.com/ Typically my generator of choice for names etc. It has one for most fantasy races you can think of, and on top of that has one s for weapons establishes Franchises ((such as Mass Effect, and Dragon Age.)), Armour, places, real world names. etc... It is my one stop shop for name generators and is actually pretty decent, they give decent flavour, and I am pretty sure you can up the number of results, but not too sure. If you need a launching point for a name, this is good place to just get your brain thinking. Have fun~ it is a literal treasure trove. I should mention at the top of the page for every generator it explains how the naming works. it also gives a base description on the race. ((for Weapons and Armour it explains what they are and some of the tropes in fantasy that encompass them. For example on the one for Battleaxes it explains that they are typically the weapons of Dwarves in a Fantasy setting.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutoratosu Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I found this on Seventh Sanctum too... though, these are more suited for the host of the world, for finding Ideas for random NPCs, than it is to actual players http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=charscramble A Generator which basically spits out Character Archtypes on demand. Can come up with pretty...interesting concepts from what I've seen from it. http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=generalperson A generator which actually spits out various assembled character appearance descriptions. Kinda neat whether you're just screwing around or you actually are having a hard time deciding what a certain NPC looks like. http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=quickchar The bread and butter for truly random NPCs whom you will have players meet once or maybe twice in the story, and after their role is played, never have them appear ever again. In other words, if you're looking for ideas about Toss-away NPCs, this right here might serve as some inspiration for ya. Again, I only recommend that people maybe take inspiration from these Generators, not actually use the ideas exactly as they're made. They are random, afterall. (But of course, if you want to just use the idea exactly as it is, do as you will.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
