Why it matters
Why a complete character beats a pile of random traits
Characters carry a story, and a usable character is more than a name and a hair color. It is a person with a motivation, a flaw, and a reason to act under pressure. A generator that returns three coherent, distinct profiles gives a writer something to actually build scenes around, which is the difference between a character that moves the plot and a placeholder that stalls it.
