Character Creation Wheel
Interesting characters are built on tension. Each of these seeds pairs a role with a contradiction — a shy hero with a secret, a villain who believes they're right — the kind of friction a story can run on. Spin one and build outward.

Character Creation Wheel questions
How do I turn a seed into a full character?
Give them a name, one thing they want, and one thing they fear. The contradiction in the seed is their engine — the rest follows from it.
Can I use this for a whole cast?
Yes — spin several times with “Remove winner” on to build a set of distinct characters, then find the conflicts between them.
