Extremely useful on both the player and referee side! If I need to throw a powered antagonist at my players, I know exactly where I'm going to get one quickly!

(this generator... I'm going to get it from this generator)

This is immediately useful and functional, no issues, appreciating the formatting and I especially love the simple Metal Gear style naming scheme. 5/5, you are apprecieated!

Note: This has not been updated with new content, but if there’s interest, I’ll certainly go back and update it!

Consider me interested!

Character generators take the stress off of building pre-gens. As soon as I get my hands on one, I’ll make two dozen characters, “just in case.”

The FIST Character Generator shows off how awesome FIST’s Trait combinations can be. Sure, your players could pick two Traits that make sense, feel realistic, or maintain some sort of narrative cohesion…

Or! Hear me out: You could play… PERILOUS COCKATOO, a TELEKINETIC expert of INTERROGATION who is DRIVEN BY SHAME. Like, I know 100% for sure that’s just a random character, but I’m 99% certain he tortured me in Metal Gear Solid.

My one complaint (other than begging for new content) is that the “Print File” and “Pull New File” buttons appear when you print the PDF. I’m not sure if Perchance offers some way to hide those, like a print-only CSS style or something, but it’d help maintain the illusion that the character sheet is a piece of typed paperwork.

Other than that? I got nothing. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to whip up SOLEMN DINGO.

Press F5, get a new character. What's not to love?

Could use a dedicated 'next file' button for making multiple characters, and maybe an option to print a character in the core FIST format instead of the CYCLOPS memorandum one. Could benefit from Android / cell phone compatibility. Even, in a perfect world, having adjustable trait lists so users can bolt on supplemental materials. Still, immediately usable as is.

Love the feedback, I'll see if I can incorporate some of these things. Glad you like it!
