Character Seed Generator

Roll or choose from these tables to spark a playable character. The results do not define statistics by themselves. They give the player a past, a look, a talent, a wound, a tie, and a current problem.

How To Use This Page

For a quick character seed, roll once on Origin, Core Competency, Bad Experience, and Current Entanglement.

For a fuller character, roll once on each table.

Most tables use d66: roll two six-sided dice, reading one die as the tens digit and the other as the ones digit. A roll of 3 and 5 is 35.
