Frequently Asked Questions
Is the result truly random?
Each click uses JavaScript's random number generation to pick from the full list of character archetypes, so every option has a fair chance of appearing, aside from a light check that avoids repeating the exact same result twice in a row.
Can I get the same character archetype twice?
Yes, over multiple clicks the same character archetype can come up again - the tool only prevents an immediate back-to-back repeat where possible, not repeats further apart in your session.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The list and the random selection both run entirely in your browser. Nothing you do here is transmitted anywhere.
Can I see my previous results?
Yes, your recent picks appear in a list below the generator so you can compare or copy an earlier result without having to generate it again.
Is the list of character archetypes complete?
It's a curated selection rather than an exhaustive list. If you have suggestions for entries to add, that's helpful feedback for future updates.
