I got a bit bored, and decided to put together a toy for randomly walking through the Twenty Questions and seeing what kind of characters come out the other side

Do note, this is not a character repository or anything; each time you refresh, you'll get someone new.

That is quite cool.

ETA: although it doesn't cope with Rings over 3 yet.

DOH! I didn't realize there was a limit on starting Ring or Skill ranks!

EDIT: Fixed

You can't start with a Ring or Skill above 3 at Character Creation.

Yeah, Tonbo pointed that out. Should be fixed now.

Wow, first time I got Kaito family, one of my favorite from the new lore!

Fun little tool, though I've noticed it has some trouble with Advantage/Disadvantage, I saw at least once case where it doubled up on Advantages, and it can also give obviously contradictory ones (example I got was Daikoku's Curse and Daikoku's Blessing on the same character).

Yeah; building out the relationships between various advantages/disadvantages would've been a fair chunk of work for a simple toy

Maybe in v2

Great work! I hit "reload" at least a dozen times, and almost every result gave a character that needed just a bit of thought to make it interesting and believable. Except maybe Matsu Soh, the Bayushi Manipulator with far too much interest in spiritual matters. I mean, it could work, but mostly I felt like it was made by a player desperate to be unique, and just came out weird.
