What Is a Character Generator You Can Build?
Not a pre-made tool with fixed templates — a platform for building custom character creation apps from scratch.
Build Character Tools, Don't Just Use Them
Most character generators give you a form and spit out random results. You're stuck with their categories, their naming styles, their limits. YouWare is different — it builds the generator itself. Describe what you need: 'A character generator for sci-fi stories with alien names, personality traits, and homeworld backgrounds.' AI generates a complete React app with input fields, randomization logic, and save features. Then open Visual Editing to adjust fonts, colors, and layouts directly. Need a database to save generated characters? YouBase gives you storage and retrieval. You're not using a character generator — you're shipping one.
Character Generator Types You Can Build
Every creative niche gets a generator tailored to its world — fantasy, sci-fi, anime, historical, and beyond.
D&D and RPG Character Generators
Your D&D campaign needs NPCs fast. Describe your generator: 'Random fantasy character with race, class, alignment, and a one-sentence backstory.' AI builds an app that generates names like 'Thorn Ironfoot, Dwarf Cleric, Lawful Good, fleeing a fallen temple.' Want to tweak the races? Open Visual Editing and add Dragonborn or Tiefling. Need to store NPCs for reuse? YouBase saves every generated character in your own database. Export the character sheet as JSON or display it on a shareable page. Game masters get unlimited NPCs without flipping through sourcebooks.
Story and Fiction Character Generators
Writers block on character creation? Build a generator that fits your story world. 'A character generator for cyberpunk novels with streetnames, cybernetic implants, and motivations.' AI creates an app that outputs characters like 'Nyx Voidwalker, neural jack + razor claws, hunting a rogue AI for revenge.' The prompt's too edgy? Click the text in Visual Editing and soften it. Want to let beta readers submit their own characters? YouBase adds a form and stores submissions. Publish the generator and share the link with your writing group. No more staring at blank character sheets — just hit generate and start writing.
Game Character and NPC Generators
Indie game devs need placeholder NPCs yesterday. Describe your game's aesthetic and AI builds a generator: 'A fantasy village NPC generator with names, occupations, and one personality quirk each.' Get results like 'Mira, Blacksmith, obsessed with rare ores.' The occupations list feels thin? Open Code View and add Herbalist or Cartographer to the array. Want players to discover character bios in-game? Store generated NPCs in YouBase and pull them via API. Export as JSON to import into Unity or Godot. Your game world gets populated without hiring a narrative designer.
Build Your Character Generator in 3 Steps
Step 1: Describe Your Generator Idea
Tell AI what to generate: 'A random character generator for fantasy stories with names, classes, and backstories.' AI understands creative context, not just technical specs.
Step 2: Refine with Visual Editing
AI builds your generator app in seconds. Click any field label or button to adjust text, colors, and spacing. Want different randomization logic? Use Boost to regenerate specific sections. Manual edits cost zero credits.
Step 3: Deploy and Share
Hit Publish to get a live URL. Share it with your writing group, gaming table, or game dev team. Upgrade to Pro for custom domains and YouBase storage to save generated characters.
YouWare Features That Power Your Character Generator
Not just AI generation — a full toolkit for building, editing, and deploying character creation apps.
Visual Editing: Adjust Without Regenerating
AI generated your character form, but the submit button says 'Generate' and you want 'Forge Character.' Don't ask AI to redo the whole page — click the button in Visual Editing, type the new text, done. Change fonts, colors, spacing, and images directly on the page. Every manual edit costs zero credits, and AI remembers your changes for future modifications. You iterate visually, not through endless prompts.
YouBase: Store Generated Characters
Your character generator works, but users can't save their results. Add YouBase to store every generated character in a database you control. Users click 'Save Character' and it's stored with a unique ID. Build a 'My Characters' page to display saved profiles. Query YouBase to show the 10 most recent characters across all users. No third-party database setup, no monthly hosting fees — just working backend features built into YouWare.
CoView: Show AI Exactly What to Fix
The character name field generates results, but the font's hard to read and the spacing feels cramped. Instead of typing 'make the name field more readable,' hit CoView, record your screen while pointing at the problem and saying 'this font is too small and squeezed.' AI sees your cursor movement and hears your voice, then fixes the exact elements you highlighted. CoView turns vague feedback into precise edits.

Real Character Generator Use Cases
From solo storytelling to multiplayer campaigns, character generators power every creative project.
D&D Game Masters: Instant NPCs
Your party walks into a tavern and asks the bartender's name. You freeze. Build a generator that creates tavern NPCs on the fly: 'Generate a friendly NPC with a name, occupation, and one secret.' Click generate during the session and get 'Garrick, Ex-Mercenary Bartender, hiding from a crime lord.' Store NPCs in YouBase so you remember who they are next session. Your world feels lived-in because you're not improvising every detail.
Fiction Writers: Populate Your World
You're writing a sci-fi novel with 50+ side characters. Build a generator for your universe's naming conventions and cultural backgrounds: 'Generate a character with a Martian name, colony of origin, and one defining trait.' Get results that fit your lore instead of generic fantasy names. Export generated characters as JSON to import into Scrivener or your world-building app. Your story world stays consistent without hours of manual character design.
Game Developers: Character Templates
Your indie RPG needs 100 NPCs for villages, towns, and dungeons. Build a generator that outputs character data in JSON: name, sprite ID, dialogue tree ID, and behavior type. Generate batches of NPCs, export them, and import into your game engine. YouBase stores metadata so you can query 'all merchants in the desert region' or 'all hostile NPCs under level 10.' Your game's world population gets done in a weekend, not a quarter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Describe what you want in plain language: 'A character generator for fantasy characters with names, classes, and backstories.' AI writes the React code, builds the randomization logic, and deploys the app. You never see code unless you want to — Visual Editing lets you adjust everything by clicking elements on the page.
