Generate a character, then flesh it out with AI

The generator rolls a complete starting character for any of the eight systems from as few or as many choices as you give it. Rolling is free and happens on the spot. Two optional extras use AI and spend credits: ✨ Flesh out with AI writes the person behind the numbers, and Generate image paints them.

Before you start

Roll the character

1. Open the generator

   In the Character Vault, press Generate with AI at the top, or choose ✨ Generate with AI from the New character ▾ menu.

2. Choose the system

   Under Base details, pick the game in System. The fields below change to the ones that game cares about: a D&D character asks for Rules edition, Level, Species, Class, Alignment, Background, Fighting style and more; Call of Cthulhu asks for an occupation and era.

3. Set only what you care about

   Every choice can stay on Random. Leave Name (optional) blank to have one made up, and pick a Sex or leave it random.

4. Describe the idea (optional)

   In Concept & focus (optional), write the character in a line or two — a retired soldier hunting the quartermaster who betrayed his company. It steers the AI extras later.

5. Generate

   Press Generate character. The full sheet appears below, with scores, skills, hit points and gear worked out for that system. Don't like it? Press Regenerate as often as you want; rolling costs nothing.

Add the AI extras (optional)

1. Flesh it out — 1 AI credit

   Press ✨ Flesh out with AI. The button reads Writing… while it works, then the sheet gains an appearance, personality and backstory matched to the game and your concept, plus fitting powers, gear and attacks with their to-hit and damage worked out.

2. Paint it — 5 AI credits

   Press Generate image. It counts the seconds while it works; the first one can take up to about 30. A full-body picture and a square portrait cropped from it appear beside the name. Regenerate image makes a new one, for another 5 credits.

Keep it

1. Save, or tweak first

   Press Save to vault to keep the character as it is, image included. To change anything first, press Edit before saving: the generated character opens in that system's full sheet, and Create character saves it.

If something's off

“You're out of AI credits…”

Flesh-out and images stop until your allowance renews or you top up; see AI credits. The rolled character is still there — Save to vault works without credits.

“The image generator is busy right now (cold start)…”

The first image after a quiet spell can time out. Wait a moment and press Generate image again.

“Couldn't write safe details for this character — try regenerating.”

The written details didn't pass our safety check. Press Regenerate or change the concept, then flesh it out again.

Saving says your character slots are all in use

Same as part 1: free a slot, upgrade, or add slots on Plus.
