Personality Generator

I found the most awsome site ever to assist in creating Robbie and Jack. It's a character generator, and I wont explain how it works, because that's explained on the site. It's for characters you know you need but don't have any strong ideas for. I used it for Robbie and Jack, and I came out with these results, some changed to fit a few of my preset ideas for them.


Jack
Jack Phillips


Altruist - A character with this trait has an unselfish interest in the welfare of others. Beyond merely caring for other people this character would hold the welfare of others above his own interests as a principle. (Jack's mother, though not strict in any way, always bemanded that he treat others how he would want to be treated. Jack wants to be treated like his mom treats him, and she's so generous and loving that he couldn't help but pick up on some of it.)

Genial - Cheerful and kindly, your character is most gracious to others and a very friendly sort. (After Jack got past his terrible twos, he realized that being nice was much easier than being mean, because if you're not going to get what you want either way, it's better not to waste a buch of time being mean.)

Impetuous - Impulsive in nature. Your character may make rash and emotional decisions. Your the girl who sees the lever and pulls it while saying, "What's this do?" (It seems that everyone in the world says, "follow your heart" and Jack has yet to experience the kind of heartbreak that comes from it, so he's all for the idea.)

Meticulous - Extremely careful in attending to details. Your character wants things done right and usually wants it done right the first time. Measure twice (or five times) and cut once is her motto. (Jack's mother also says, "If you're going to do something, do it right or not at all.")

Clumsy - A clumsy character may be described as accident prone. The character will trip over, bump into, and drop things (Jack's a quick little boy, and his mind often runs ahead of his body, causing him to take two steps back before he can take one step forward.) [On another note, soemtimes people think he's slow because he takes a moment to reply, but really he's so fast that he has to take a step back to deal with you.]


Food Fetish- There is one particular food item your character can just not pass up. Be it chocolate, tarts or even spicy sausages. He might take silly risks or go miles out of his way to procure a fresh backed tart. Your character probably tends toward other addictive behaviours as well. (As a baby, Jack's mom would always give him frozen chocolate bars to gnaw on with his baby teeth to keep him happy and occupies, so now he has a chocolate addiction)

Musically Inclined- Your character has a love of music and at least some ability to back it up. Though, it may require training in the skill to get there. She may prefer singing to an instrument. (When nothing else is being said, Jack sings. Like other people hum and whistle, he sings entire songs he's heard on the radio, and he memorizes songs extremely fast.)


Robbie
Robert Harper


Rapscallion - Your character is a little rascal, a little rogue and a little ne'er-do-well. He's likely to be very charismatic and maybe even playful and mischievious. (When his father was alive he would teach Robbie practical jokes and such, and now he's keeping up the tradition because he never wants top forget.)

Rover- Your character has a touch of the wanderlust. He never likes to stay too long in one place and is much happier out on the open road living where ever he happens to stop rather than settled down in a home of his own. (Completely adventurous, the further away from home an adventure takes him the better. The bigger the risk, the bigger the thrill. Unfortunately he was not blessed with any sense of navigation at all, so Jack sees that it's Robbie's duty to plunge recklessly into the unknown, it's his duty to remember were the exit sign is.)

Impudent - Contemptuous of others, cocky. Your character may be described as being insolent as well as impertinent. (His mother never told him off for disobeying and ignoring her, because she found it easier to just let it slide. It caught up to him and he believes that he's always right.)

Short-sighted- Your character doesn't see the far reaching affects of his actions and decisions. May have a very narrow view of situations as well since they can't seem to discern any consequences in most things. (Serious lack of time-outs)

Curious - Having a compulsive desire to investigate and learn. The unknown must be known, the confusing understood. Ifthis character hears a noise in the dark or out of sight, smells something, sees a flash of light in the woods, hears a legend or rumor, etc. they will have an urge to investigate. (Inexplicable, probably gets it from his dad. His dad was his idol)


Opinionated- Arguing with your character is like arguing with a brick wall. Your character is set in his ways and will happily try to convince everyone of the veracity of his point of view. You probably enjoy arguing and may not realize how frustrated others are with you. (He's a little brat. what can i say? This isn't to say he's prejiduced, though. Being un-prejiduced is one thing his mother always insisted on, but if people have contradicting opinions, Robbie will latch onto one of them and not let go for anything.)

Remembrance Item- A special item that your character treasures and always has near him, or perhaps keeps it underlock and key in his home or vault. Its a reminder of some past event that left a mark on your characters life. It might be the personal possession of a dead friend or parent; some token from a lost love; perhaps a flower from the garden of the women you loved who married another when you chose a life of adventure. (He has his father's fishing hat. His dad used to be a great fisherman, anything form the river to the sea, and he'd even gone shark fishing a few times. he used to take Robbie on his more tame fishing trips and promised to take him fishing on a boat in the ocean one day.)
