This button would create a character with a random outfit, and a random name.

That would be helpful. I donā€™t exactly have a whole lot of time to make too many background characters for scenes.

Something like that, yes.
If you, while writing a story, type in a character name, which is yet not created, after saving the chapter youā€™re prompted to create it. I believe thereā€™s an option to get a random one, but Iā€™m not quite sure. I never tested it! :heart: :heart: :heart:

You are right it is a default character when you do that, Iā€™m guessing your meaning a new random character thatā€™s not a default one right?

Yes. I have seen that before. In fact, Iā€™ve found three ways to create random characters.

  1. ā€œScript Templatesā€ in the Writer Portal (INK/CLASSIC). If you click on a script template, a random character can generate. That is only if you leave the option on ā€œINK/CLASSIC FE/MALEā€

  2. Select the ā€œCharacterā€ button > New Character > type in a name w/out selecting a character> then, click ā€œCreate and Saveā€
    A random character will pop up.

  3. Dialogue. If you write a dialogue under a name you hadnā€™t created a character for, you will see a window pop up that says, ā€œThere are no characters with this name. Would you like to create this character? ā€˜Yesā€™ or ā€˜No.ā€™ā€ Then, a random character pops up in the story.

At least, thatā€™s what I had learned so far.

I know there is an auto - create feature, but personally I hate when authors use a default character for background. Plus, if I want to make like 15 plus people for a school background or something, having them look the same is going to be a pain. I would rather have a random button to create thier looks (and hopefully outfits)

Having a randomize button would definitely help create random background characters to give a story more life. Even though there is an auto-create feature, itā€™s the same character over and over. With so many options that Episode has to create a character with, there would be tons of distinct random characters in which people could place in the backgrounds of their story.
