Tabletop and RPG characters often start as a class and a backstory. Headcanons—the small, specific details that aren’t on the character sheet—are what make them feel real at the table and in play-by-post.
Give your PC a “soul file”
Before the first session, run your character through the Character Headcanon Generator. Ask for habits, pet peeves, or “how they act when they’re losing.” Save 3–5 results as a short “soul file” you can glance at during play. When the GM puts your PC in a new situation, you’ll have concrete details to reach for instead of default reactions. You can access it and the other tools from the AI Headcanon Generator homepage.
Define party dynamics
For duos or the whole party, use the Relationship Headcanon Generator. Enter your PC and a party member (or the GM’s key NPC). You’ll get micro-rituals, tensions, and “how they act around each other” that you can drop into roleplay. It’s especially useful for established pairs or rivals. Everything is linked from the homepage.
Warm up with random and quotes
Need a quick “what would they do?” or a line that sounds like your character? The Random Headcanon Generator is good for low-stakes prompts. The Incorrect Quotes Generator is great for banter, session recaps, or Discord snippets. Both are one click away on the main site.
Whether you’re prepping for D&D, a narrative TTRPG, or play-by-post, the AI Headcanon Generator has four tools in one place. Start on the homepage, build a small headcanon set for your PC, and bring that depth to the table.
