NPC Generator

This NPC Generator is meant to help game masters create supporting characters. It is divided into six parts. Each category is rolled once or twice with d66. You can use them to flesh out encounters on the run or to prepare for a game. Ignore parts of the table you have already decided.

Background marks the origin of the NPC; it might be current occupation. Please note background options do not reflect realities of the game world. Most people work in menial, physical labor. The listed options offer more variety. Special occupations – such as being a Techmancer or a high noble – are not included, as they are too rare. Roll once.

Motivation tells what drives the character. It is his current goal in life, regardless of his personality traits and other features. Other things are simply means to an end. Roll once.

Vices & Virtues generate leading emotional factors. Roll twice, rerolling duplicate results.

Personality is a short guideline to roleplaying the character. It suggests how others see the person and how he acts in ordinary situations. Roll once.

Appearance dominates the first impression. Roll twice, rerolling duplicate results.

Other Traits add a further random factor to flesh out the character. Roll once.

Use the name generator underneath the NPC generator to come up with the name. The names are simply examples to inspire you. Several listed names are unisex and naming conventions vary among cultures.
