I Need a Hero: Characters

I Need a Hero rolls up a believable person for your story in one tap. Every roll is a whole person: a name that fits their age and background, a job, a home town, their height and build, what they look like, a few quirks, and a short paragraph you can paste straight into your notes. Lock the traits you like and roll again for the rest. Whatever you keep, the rest still fits around it: lock the first name Mark and his age and background follow from who is really called Mark. REAL ODDS, NOT GUESSWORK The people come from public American data: Social Security baby names by birth year and state, Census surnames and population, CDC body measurements, Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs and schooling, and the Pew Religious Landscape Study. Pick any state, county or one of more than 31,000 towns, and the people you roll are drawn from the people who live there. FAMILIES AND TOWNS Roll a whole household, with parents, children, step-children and grandparents whose ages add up. Or cast a real town: the sheriff, the pastor, the schoolteacher and the waitress at the diner. KEEP YOUR CAST Save heroes to your shelf, add notes, and share them as Markdown or PDF character sheets. A Hero of the Day widget sits on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your iPhone or iPad. No account, no advertising, no tracking, and it works offline. I Need a Hero is free, with nothing locked away. If it helps your writing, there is an optional tip jar.
