What It Is

• A small experiment in structuring personality for worldbuilding and writing.

• Really, it’s just a tool for those moments when you want a character idea and your mind goes blank.

• This isn’t a test, and it’s not psychology in the clinical sense.

• It’s a fiction-first generator that pulls from MBTI, Enneagram, and archetypal prompts to create coherent personality seeds.

• Think of it as rolling story dice — except instead of numbers, you get a mix of motives, temperaments, and hooks.

Why I made this

I wanted a lightweight tool that:

• Lives in plain text files (easy to edit, no database)
• Runs locally, offline, without depending on anything fancy.
• Generates personas that feel consistent enough to write from, but flexible enough to reshape.

What it does

Randomly combines: - MBTI type (stack + temperament) - Enneagram type (core fear + desire) - Archetype prompt for story flavor - Light Big Five estimate (sliders for nuance) - Adds quick “hooks” like conflict style and growth edge. - Generates one persona at a time, or a batch of many. - Exports to JSON (structured) or Markdown (writer-friendly).

Inspiration

This isn’t about telling you who a character is. It’s about nudging your imagination when the page is empty. - Need a side character? Generate one. - Want friction between two characters? Compare their conflict styles. - Building a whole guild, town, or court? Batch ten personas and see which ones catch your eye. It’s scaffolding, not a box.

Quickstart

Set up

python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install pyyaml

Run once

python main.py

Generate a reproducible persona

python main.py --seed 42

Batch 10 personas into Markdown

python main.py --count 10 --seed 123 --out personas.md

Example

Persona 1

• MBTI: INFJ · Stack: Ni, Fe, Ti, Se · Temperament: NF (Idealist)
• Enneagram: 4 (Individualist) — Desire: identity · Fear: having no personal significance
• Archetype: Mentor — You teach what you needed at 15. Who seeks you out, and why now?
• Big Five (est): O:0.8 C:0.6 E:0.25 A:0.7 N:0.55
• Hooks: conflict=avoidant, growth=trusting others

Boundaries & License

This project is MIT licensed — use, remix, expand as you like.

That said, a note on boundaries: • Not diagnostic. This is a writing tool, not a personality test for real people. Please don’t use it in workplaces, relationships, or anything clinical. • For storytelling. Treat outputs as scaffolding for characters, not boxes for people. • YAML-first. The data is meant to be edited, reshaped, and expanded. If something feels off, adjust it — that’s part of the process.

The spirit here is simple: this is for writers, worldbuilders, and roleplayers who want a spark when the page feels cold. Nothing more, nothing less.
