Name Generator (System Agnostic)

A tool designed for the fast creation of characters. Focused on name and portrait generation.

A lightweight version of the famous NPC Generator for 5e, this version doesnt populate statblocks but it's system agnostic, intended for use in all other systems.

How to Use

• Generate a new character
• Reskin a generic character
• Portrait Generation

Generating new Characters 🦱

The primary way to open the application is through the Create Character button on the Actor's Directory Tab, on the sidebar.

Reskining a Character 🧑‍🦱

You can also reskin a generic character, changing its name and/or portrait. Optionally, you can set for it to update all found names inside the character data and embedded items.

Portraits 🖼

To configure portrait generation you need to create a folder like the one found in name-generator/imgs/portraits. From there, enter the module configuration and select the folder in the Portrait Directory setting.

All images inserted into the directory with the correct format will be available as a portrait to be randomly generated.

Image Name Format

All images in the directory should have their names formatted as the examples in the imgs/portraits folder, the module uses their names as tags for matching pictures, following the rules:

• All names should be in lower-case;
• An underline (_) act as a separator for different tags, you can have as many tags as you want for any picture and might use spaces as well;
• The tags from the entire folder becomes individual filters as well, so adding a new tag to any image also adds a new filter;
• If no match is found for the applied filters, no image is returned;
