The character generator helps create people who can carry a story. Start with a role, desire, fear, contradiction, backstory, relationship, and decision point, then shape a profile with voice, motivation, flaw, strength, and arc. It is useful for novels, short fiction, screenplays, games, comics, and any story where the plot needs a person who wants something badly enough to change.
What should a character generator include?
A character generator should include more than a name. Strong profiles include desire, fear, contradiction, flaw, strength, backstory, relationships, voice, and the decision that drives change.
