Random character generator
Draw a character card with a name, a role, a quirk, a goal and a secret. Play it alone for a writing prompt, or deal a secret card to everyone at a party, in class or at work.
Draw a character
Pick a theme, draw, then flip the card. Every card is made from our own deck in your browser; nothing you type is stored.
How it works
- Pick a theme: fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, everyday and office, or mixed.
- Draw, then flip the card to meet your character: a name, a role, a quirk, a goal and a secret.
- Play the character for a round of storytelling, an icebreaker or a party game.
- Copy the link to share the card, or deal a secret card to every player in your group.
Deal a secret character to every player
- Choose a theme and create a group draw. You get a join link and a private organizer page.
- Share the join link. Each person adds their name; no account or email is needed.
- When everyone has joined, deal the cards. Every player flips their own card on a private page.
- Nobody can see anyone else's card, including the organizer, so secrets stay secret until the reveal.

FAQ
Is the character generator free?
Yes. Drawing cards, sharing links and dealing cards to a group are all free, with no sign-up.
How are the characters made?
Each card combines a role, quirk, goal and secret from our own hand-written deck, at random. Every theme has 16 of each, so there are millions of combinations.
Is it suitable for kids and the office?
Yes. The whole deck is family-friendly. Mystery secrets are mild, like a borrowed book or a switched name card.
Can each player get a different character?
Yes. In a group draw, players get different roles until a theme's 16 roles are used, and every player gets a different name.
What does the AI do?
When it is available, the AI can write a short introduction in your character's voice. It only sees the card, never anything you type.
