What does They Adopted the Random NPC Generator do?

Expand one minor character the players already love, preserving all established facts. Add personality, a distinct voice, an endearing quirk, a useful background, present motivation, clear limits, relationship hooks and optional future callbacks.

Which roles can this character take?

Choose a recurring friendly face, an occasional helper or someone the party might invite to travel with them. A companion possibility remains an explicit offer the Dungeon Master and players can accept, decline or reshape together.

What do I prepare?

Describe what the table already knows, why the players like this character and where they are now. Choose role, relationship direction and tone. Deep preparation adds party context, anything to avoid and private notes about their place in the campaign.

Can I revise and save a character?

Review, edit, lock and reroll. Save favourites to your signed-in VISINVOKE account, then reopen, rename, duplicate, search, tag, annotate or delete them. A twelve-version history keeps earlier variations available.

What can I share, and who decides whether they join the party?

Copy the table-ready profile or chosen complete Dungeon Master or player-facing view, download the structured record or print it. Review the selected audience view before sharing. The group decides any companionship together; the generator creates no automatic secret, quest, encounter, permanent companion, combat state or Combat Pro handoff.
