Simple NPC generates fully realized fantasy characters in a single tap. With over 1 million possible names drawn from 7,000+ handcrafted entries across 17 races, and billions of unique appearance combinations across professions, ages, and social classes — no two sessions at the table need the same face twice. Built for game masters, worldbuilders, novelists, and anyone who needs a believable person to appear at the inn, guard the gate, or sell something suspicious at the market. Every NPC comes with a complete physical description — height, build, skin, eyes, hair, clothing, and a telling detail that makes them feel like someone who existed before you walked in. Add a profession, social class, age, and race, and the generator produces a character grounded in those specifics. A destitute elder orc scribe reads differently than a wealthy young halfling merchant. The details reflect who they actually are. What Simple NPC generates: — Physical appearance: build, face, skin, eyes, hair, and clothing — A notable detail: a scar, tattoo, piece of jewelry, profession item, or behavioral tell — A motivation: what they want right now, in this moment — An rare secret: a reveal that changes everything Races included free: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Half-Orc, Tiefling, Dragonborn Pack 1 — Expanded Races & Professions ($1.99): Orc, Goblin, Kobold, Lizardfolk, Cinderborn, Stoneborn, Tideborn, Galeborn — plus 10 additional professions, including Noble, Spy, Bard, Hedge Witch, and Cartographer Full Access ($4.99): Every current pack plus every future pack released — one price, forever Features: — Over 1 million possible name combinations — 7,000+ handcrafted name entries across 17 races — Billions of unique NPC appearances — Generate a complete NPC in one tap — Lock any field and randomize the rest — Exclude races or professions you don't use — Save NPCs and return to them later — Quick archetypes for common NPC types — Designed for dark and light mode — No ads.
