Very easy to use! I've found that out of all the other apps I've tried, they're either difficult to use or they cost a lot of money. This is so nice to have for any writer, D&D player, rper, and literally any one in need of a good character. The app allows you to customize even a good backstory for your character and I appreciate the sexuality and gender options. :3

I like it a lot, plus the feature to add others is really useful. If only it would let you leave your added ones permanently. The diversity of gender is great, but i personally like to add more, and it'd be great if they would either let you leave an addition, or if you'd add it to the app permanently. Besides that its amazing and super useful!! One of my favorite apps.

Amazing app for character creation/realization!!! I mostly use this to make a base for characters I use in my books (that will be published eventually). Honestly, I could scroll through the quirks and past events all day! The descriptions are hilarious in most cases and there's a ton of inspiration to be found here. The only things that would make this app better is letting us edit and create more options (with descriptions!) that are stored on the app, and having unlimited slots. Thank you so much to the developers, you did an amazing job with this one! 9 3/4 out of 10! (Highest praise you can get from an HP fan)

This is a pull-down app; meaning for each line you pull down a list, select it and it gives you a description of the choice selected - nothing more. It can be used to inspire a characters personality but it is definitely no generator. It'll help with a back story if you're stuck but that's its only function.

G70%
by G####:

It's great for ANY RPG because it gives you the option to add ANYTHING to your options under a category. I use it for SWTOR when I'm in a pinch and can't decide who I want to be, it's a small file and good fun. Only request is to add a small description of the weapons :)

Coming up with concept sleletons has been the most difficult part of both writing fantasy and being a game master in tabletop RPG's. RPG Character Generator gives a mostly complete concept for the groundwork of character creation and is perfect for anyone who struggles with brainstorming character ideas. -Love it.

Recommended? HIGHLY! Works perfectly and takes up VERY little space. Couldn't wish for more! Wait. In the 'sex drive' bit, yeah, I'd rather if it didn't say 'Total Horn Dog' cos that's just... Sick.

Q70%
by Q####:

Overall I like it because you can add to it, but it needs an edit option to erase and correct typos. Also needs a theme list (Modern, western, futuristic, etc.) to categorize characters, I hate getting an Orc, Cyborg and Mariachi band all together. And being able to add a picture of your character would be cool too.

Q70%
by Q####:

Generic titles aside, a wonderful app if you need to come up with some ideas for a book, game, or if you're just bored. Only problem is that I can't get that nice modern UI in the screenshots, even with Kitkat, and it'd be great if I could enter custom descriptions for the "Other..." choice, where applicable. Otherwise, amazing job!

Q70%
by Q####:

I love all the different options for customization. It's great fun! My only problem, however, is the crashing. Every time I try to work on this one character, it crashes before I get to save. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5.

Q70%
by Q####:

Has a sufficient amount of detail in character creation. Only thing that irks me is that there is a limited number of save slots, so you might want to save certain characters to an outside reference.

Q70%
by Q####:

I love this app and it helps a lot but I really wish there was a way I could share the characters I create to an outer source... I hate having to go in, remember something, go back to other app and retype EVERYTHING... Its tedious and I hope you take this into consideration

D70%
by D####:

I'm a character designer that has never played D&D. However, this is perfect as a jumping point for really quick and detailed concept art ideas. My only suggestion is that perhaps adding "genre" such as fantasy, steampunk, cyberpunk, etc. to the list of options. I know that it's not the initial purpose of the app and may be a thought for a different app altogether, but, like I've said, it's a suggestion that many people will utilize. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Good job!

D70%
by D####:

I use this for writing purposes and it's a great way to help imagine a character. However once you max out on 10 slots that is the limit to your imagination. And there is no way share, post or email you character. Adding both 1. a way to share each saved character and also 2. a way to store the character in your phone making more than 10 the limit. Also adding a "details" segment where you could add back story or anything extra yourself would be nice. Thanks, I look forward to updates!

It gives you alot of options to choose from and let's you pick your own answers if yours is not listed. It does not lag or have any problems. Running on my device. I feel like their could be a bit more on appearance but other then that it's a great app and is worth it

Although some visual elements would help to see what you're doing. (Not everyone knows every weapon and hairstyle or wants to look them up) but i adore this app and will keep it installed and updated wherever i go.

D70%
by D####:

I like it. Could use a few more descriptions. Such as sociopath since I was making a villain for my friends game. It still worked wonders. Highly recommended to someone that RPs and want to make a backstory easy before you write it. Lastly open add about 5-20 more races you have good list but you need more.

I originally downloaded this app for use in a D and D campaign. Instead, I found myself using it more and more to eleviate writer's block. By creating one character with this app, I have managed to crank out many chapters of my novel. This has helped me add so much depth and dimension to my characters! Well done!

This is the perfect edition to any RPG experience. It has tons of classes, races and goes as specific as to where you lived, your background and religion. Whatever isn't here already, gives you the option to add your own input. Overall, ingenious.

K70%
by K####:

If you have players in your group that lack the creativity or patience to make a character that has any more depth than "I'm an orphan, tragic backstory, bit i dont remember my past." Then this app is for them. Now your pcs will be more than poorly designed anime characters! Enjoy!

by D####:

I'm an idiot. I downloaded this before but didn't like it because there was no avatar picture, but me being a hobby artist who loves making OCs, this app is quite handy for when I have no idea what to draw. 10/10 would add more features to appearance.

The fifth star just needs one thing : A custom description for provided entries and custom ones. You could also add Google sync so we can have those entries be available on other devices. Other than that, well done!

D70%
by D####:

This app is great. At first all the options are a little overwhelming, but when considering the use it is great. As an artist there is way more information than I need but for someone who is a creative writer or someone who likes to get lost in a fantasy world this app is gold. For anyone in a creative field this is a must have tool to have.

W70%
by W####:

This helped me create a great character, and I know it'll keep helping me make more! Though, there is a little problem I don't mind much about, but just so you know, if I exit on a character I saved, and go back on it it crashes as if it's resetting, because I can get on it after it crashes. I don't mind it at all! I just fear it might get worse, but otherwise this app is so useful!!

This app fills a much needed gap between player and character sheet. I would prefer however if it didn't crash on my GS5 whenever I rotate the screen to a new orientation.

I love it! I really do, but there are some problems with it. 1er a limitation, 2nd it would be cool if you could make the ACTUAL CHARACTER!! I would 5 stars of these 2 things change.

I would five star this if you were able to disable some of the options (ie quirks, gender, goal, etc). Very fun to see what random types of characters you'll constantly come up with. A writer's handy tool for a quick character or inspiration for a missing character.

H70%
by H####:

But very cool at what it does. And rather amusing! I was just very disappointed that after I put in all of those elements it didn't spit out a visual avatar. I know, I know, totally ridiculous expectation but I found this app when I was looking for avatar creators and just assumed... and you know what they say about assumption.

D70%
by D####:

I'm not a table top gamer which is a reason for this apps creation, I'm a writer and this is a very good app for creating characters I just wish for for mixed scifi theme but I'm not sure how that would work. Really good app either way.

Would give this great app 5 stars if it would save custom input data. I spent a lot of time inserting custom results only to find out it was all erased upon reopening the app

D70%
by D####:

It is really great for when you are running out of ideas for characters or just need to make a quick NPC for a game. Otherwise there a few problems and issues it comes across. But nothing to serious.

I have just begun DMing and am finding frequent writer's block. Thj s is giving helping me get past the blocks and get my mind working again. Thank you!

by C####:

I love how you can randomize just certain things or do everything. Also, the explanations of some of the traits helped me out too! DOWNLOAD THIS APP

D70%
by D####:

It's better than others on here, but the ten characters only thing kind of bugs me. Why not 50 instead? Or 100? And then there's the problem where it keeps crashing if you go away from it for too long. Either way, it's awesome.

D70%
by D####:

This app offers much, in the ways of customization. The only reason I gave it 4/5, is a selfish one... I'd really like to "see" my character's visage.

B70%
by B####:

It's fun to mess around with and it helps me narrow down character creation. I'm sure there are a few things to be added (I haven't invested enough time in the app to come up with any more options it could use) or maybe even just a new version of the app geared toward story writing rather then just role play. All in all though I really like it.
