About

Characters with a pulse.

InkBorn helps writers and creators get past the blank page. Roll a complete stranger or describe who you need, and you get a believable person: a name that fits their country and the decade they were born, a face card, a background, a personality, flaws, habits and even their social media.

What makes it different

• Names follow real fashions by birth year and region across 22 countries, with pronunciation and the conventions for writing them.
• Traits fit together: a seven-year-old doesn't have a mortgage, and nobody in 1985 has a TikTok.
• Social media handles are invented, deliberately unusual, and come with checks so you can confirm they aren't real accounts.
• Your cast stays in your own browser. Export it to Word or Markdown whenever you like.

Fiction, not people

Every character InkBorn generates is fictional. Any resemblance to a real person, including a real social media account, is coincidental. Please check names and handles before you publish.
