Test 4: Female (way too fun)

1. Deep winter or autumn
Eyes: 1 Black
Hair: 6 Salt and pepper
Deep winter with pale skin

Hair length: 6 Start out with exeptionally long hair
Hair growth: 5 Require a haircut every five days or change length in description
Height: 4 Taller than average - 5'6 to 5'8"
Beauty: 1 Eerily symmetric face
Nose: 3 Average
Mouth: 4 Lopsided smile
Ears: 4 Ears that stick out
Face: 1 Round
Teeth: 2 Overbite
Spawnmarks and moles: 6 Large skin discoloration
Body build: 1 Very fast metabolism. Might look like a heroin addict or anorexic. Might skip meals and/or only to eat the minimum they need to stay alive. Alternatively they eat normally but still look like they're starving themselves.
Breast size: 5 D-cup

13 Sickly: Rp a recurring illness that may manifest itself in fever/sneezing/coughing/vomiting.
20 Addicted to fashion: Use less than optimal weapons/shields/tools for style, for example bronze tools, rapiers or feathered bone shields. Extra points for refusing to carry a shield at all because it would ruin your style. This obviously doesn't work in locations infested with deadly animals. Refuse to wear hides or alternatively make hide clothes fashionable with custom descriptions.
29 Visually impaired: Require glasses. For extra points, accidentally drop your glasses and require assistance finding them.
31 Addicted to tattoos/piercings: Insist on getting new ones every once in a while.

Wow... I like this one a lot. OPEN CHARACTER SLOTS DO IT NOW!

I'm using this for fanfiction OCs. I still need some characters to die before I spawn any new ones.

I made a new randomizer that works with javascript. It doesn't have as wide options in some parts but in other parts it has more stuff. It allows locking options you're satisfied with and rolling the rest, or rolling individual ones. Colorings are relative to ethnicity, although it's possible to get eye colors that are rare for that race because none of the attributes are related in the code.

I wrote a new javascript that creates full sentences. I spent several hours working on this, so I hope someone checks it out. Let me know if there are any errors.

If beauty is 7, there is some repetition, but it's not worth editing it over a minor thing like that.

That's pretty neat, Seko! Even if it's a little repetitive on some descriptions (I noticed height is occasionally a little repetitive as well), that's something that a person can adjust if they want. It gives people a wonderful base to work with, and overall the random descriptions I got were very interesting. It almost makes me want to create a new character using it.

This is the most colorful description I've gotten while testing it:

She is a very radical looking woman, who is a dwarf with a skeletal body. She has ivory skin and her eyes are sky blue. She is completely bald but her eyebrows are silver in color. She isn't much of a looker. Her only saving feature is that she has unusually good posture. Her style of dressing is very eccentric but stylish.

I found this one interesting:

"She is a hideous woman, who is almost as tall as a giant, with a slim body. She has light beige skin and her eyes are multicolored. She has long hair that is mousy in color. She looks terrible. The fact that she has wrinkled prematurely isn't even the worst. Her style of dressing is moderately conservative and somewhat relaxed."
