D&D Tabaxi Character Generator
Characters built for this one, rather than a general tool with a dropdown. Press Generate as often as you like — nothing is saved and nothing is sent anywhere.
How to use this tool
- 1Type a name, or leave it empty and one will be drawn for you.
- 2Choose how much detail you want.
- 3Press Generate.
- 4Keep the beats that fit and regenerate the rest.
Press “Write the backstory” to see your character.
Origin, turn, flaw
A usable character needs a past, one event that changed direction, and something they do wrong on purpose. The flaw is the part people skip, and it is the part that makes a character playable — a character with no flaw has nothing to decide.
The secret is the hook
The last beat is the one to build on. A secret is a question the table has not asked yet, and it gives whoever runs the story somewhere to go when a session stalls.
Frequently asked questions
How much backstory does a character actually need?
Less than most people write. Three things are usually enough to play: where they come from, what they are good at, and the flaw that keeps getting them into trouble. Everything else can be discovered at the table.
Can I use this for a published story?
Yes. The beats are assembled from our own lists and copied from nothing, so a result is yours. Treat it as a first draft of a person rather than a finished one.
