# Random character generator that draws the result

> This random character generator has two parts. The six roll tables on this page are free: roll an eight-sided die, or pick a number from 1 to 8, for species, role, look, palette, signature item and mood. Then paste the traits, or just ask for “a random original character”, and OC Generator draws it with Seedream 4.5 for 10 credits an image. Signing up is free; images use purchased credits.

Roll on the free tables below, or simply ask for a random character, and the model fills in everything you leave open. Every run gives a new face, outfit and pose.

## Random characters, two ways

- **Free roll tables**: Six tables of eight traits each, written into this page. Use them without an account, on paper, at the table or for an art challenge.
- **The model fills the gaps**: Leave the outfit, pose or background open, and every run comes back different.
- **Several takes at once**: Generate up to 4 images per run to see different versions of the same rolled character.
- **Keep the one you like**: When a random result clicks, upload it with Nano Banana 2 to keep that character in new poses and scenes.

## How to roll a random character

1. **Roll the tables**: Roll a d8, or pick a number from 1 to 8, for each table below.
2. **Write one sentence**: Join the traits, then add an art style and a framing such as full body.
3. **Generate and keep**: Make a few versions, download the best and reuse it as a reference.

## How the roll tables work

Roll an eight-sided die once per table, or use any random number from 1 to 8. Join the results into one sentence, for example: “An orc royal botanist with freckles, lavender and mint colors, carrying a jar of fireflies, looking nervous.” Add an art style and a framing, and paste it into the generator above.

Anything you leave out is up to the model, which is where most of the surprise comes from. Leave the outfit or pose open for variety; fix the species and palette when the character has to fit a world you already have.

## Random character generator FAQ

### Is this random character generator free?

The roll tables on this page are free to use, with no account. Turning a rolled character into art uses purchased credits: 10 per Seedream 4.5 image. Signing up is free, and there are no free trial credits.

### Is there a randomize button?

No. The randomness comes from your rolls on the tables and from the model, which invents every detail you leave out. Asking for “a random original character” with no other details gives the widest variety.

### Will the same prompt give the same character twice?

No. Each run is a new drawing, so the same prompt gives different faces and outfits. To keep one character, upload the image you like and use Nano Banana 2 for the next scenes.

### Can it generate random names and backstories?

Not on this site: OC Generator makes images only. Name your character yourself, and use the role and mood tables as a starting point for their personality.

### Can I use the tables for games and art challenges?

Yes. Use them for tabletop sessions, writing prompts, drawing challenges or streams; they are on this page for anyone to roll on.
