03 / A character dossier

NPC Generator

Give the next stranger a secret worth keeping.

Choose the pressure around them, then open a person with enough wants, fears, and loose threads to matter right now.

The character desk

Local only

Open a stranger's dossier.

Every result is built as one person: their role, pressure, temperament, and secret point in the same direction.

Made for the quick glance.

No accounts, campaign rules, or AI calls. Saved NPCs stay on this device only.

Ready when the table needs a new face.
