Making a steampunk character your own
- Steampunk lives on contrast: elegance on top, soot and exploitation underneath. Where does your character stand?
- Give the gadget a flaw and a history.
- Class matters in steampunk settings; decide which drawing rooms your character is barred from.
Lock the lines you like (tap the circle) and reroll the rest. Then give them a history with the backstory generator, a face in the avatar maker, or a complete sheet in the character profile template.

Questions
What makes a character steampunk?
A setting inspired by the 19th century industrial age, with steam power, brass machinery and invention treated as adventure. The character usually has a relationship with technology: inventing it, exploiting it or fighting it.
Can I use it for cosplay ideas?
Yes. The look and gadget lines double as costume prompts; the character design ideas page adds palette and shape suggestions.
Is this character generator free?
Yes. Rolling, locking, saving and copying characters is free with no account. The AI expansion and portraits are free too, with a fair-use limit per visitor.
Are the results saved?
Only if you press Save, and then only in your browser's local storage on this device. You can clear your shelf at any time.
