Hey all! I'm just logging this for some of you who may be new, or may be lost as to how to make a new character. If you just can't decide who to make, how to make them, or even just need a little push, here you go! A Life Path!
I actually got this from a tabletop called Mekton, but I edited it a little to keep it in the SPRP age of the world(as in, accurate to the technology of the world) and made it easier for everyone to read. The only tools you'll need are some dice! Or a random number generator, which I'm sure exists on the web somewhere. This is mainly here for writer's block, but it can be used for just about everything!
So without further delay, let's roll us a character at random!
Roll 1 D10 die or generate a random number between 1 and 10 for the following:
1- Biker (punkish, leather, durags, gloves, etc.)
2- Skater (plaid, jeans, baseball hats, etc.)
3- Prim (fancy, elegant, always neat, etc.)
4- Corporate (suit, tie, stockings, skirt, heels, etc.)
5- Casual (for this, I like to just jot down the outfit I'm currently in.)
6- Poor (oversized hand-me-downs, maybe some patched clothing, etc.)
7- Goth (lots of black, spikes, tall boots, fishnets, etc.)
8- Oddball- (clothing that doesn't match, untidy, lazily dressed.)
9- Nerdy (gaming/comic attire, maybe glasses, berets, etc.)
10- reroll
1- long straight (past shoulders to any length)
2- pigtails
3- lolita
4- shoulder length, style of your choosing
5- ear length
6- curly, length of choice
7- ponytail
8- untidy (looks lopsided, maybe cut wrong)
9- goth (covers one eye, maybe long and spiky)
10- reroll
1- blonde
2- red
3- blue
4- pink/purple
5- red/orange
6- black
7- white/silver

4- back tattoo
5- earrings
6- other piercings(anything that isn't the ears)
7- multicolored eyes (roll TWO D6;
8- goggles

2- Extrovert- outgoing, flirtatious
3- Casual, carefree, "not my problem, I don't care"
4- Moody, rash, headstrong
5- Introvert; Proud, arrogant, stubborn
6- Introvert; too serious, "that's not funny"
7- Introvert; intellectual, detatched, doesn't get crude humor
8- Cold, ruthless, violent
9- "Too cool to care" but actually cares internally
10- "Too cool to care" and really doesn't.

END LIFE PATH
This is a nice little rough guideline to get your muse flowing. By no means do I expect or encourage sticking 100% to every little detail on this life path; the fun is in the creativity! This is just a little kick start for writer's block. Something that will get you to write a history, an appearance, a personality, etc.
You fill in the blanks! This is still your character! The randomization from the dice rolling gives you a lot of flexibility, too. You can create a lot of interesting things that maybe you've never tried before!
Well, this is my idea for the site. I personally will be using this to make a character at least once, but that doesn't mean it has to stay. Just a fun little character creation tool I thought of. ;D
