The word "generator", in recent times, has developed a nasty connotation with the infestation that is generative AI. It also pollutes search results when searching for writing tools. Reject slop. Embrace human made generators.

BEHIND THE NAME - A really thorough name generator. You can narrow it down to country of origin, gender, and more.

CHARACTER HUB - It's got a few generators for characters, including a pretty cool trauma generator for those of you who love to put your characters through terrible situations. It's more useful for gathering inspiration and resources for character creation. They've got A LOT of resources!
20 QUESTIONS - Another very simple tool where it gives you 20 questions regarding your character which you can fill out. It's less of a generator and more of a prompt tool, but still pretty cool.
