Character Species Wheel (for OCs, prompts, and quick worldbuilding)
When you’re designing a new character, choosing the species can be the tiny decision that stalls the whole process. This wheel gives you an instant nudge—use the default list as-is or tweak it to match your setting.
Default wheel items: Plant, Human, Robot, Ghost, Zombie, Furry, Glitch, Object, Angel, Devil, Object head.
Great ways to use this wheel
- OC creation: pick a species first, then design the silhouette, traits, and backstory around it.
- Writing prompts: roll a species and challenge yourself to write a scene that makes it feel inevitable.
- Art warm-ups: do a fast “same outfit, different species” series to explore shapes and textures.
Customize it to fit your world
GoSpinWheel lets you edit the wheel in seconds:
- Edit items to match your lore (keep the defaults or build a brand-new list).
- Weight options if you want “Human” to be common and “Glitch” to be rare.
- Elimination mode for drafting ensembles—each result gets removed so everyone stays unique.
Share your wheel with friends or collaborators
Once you’ve tuned the list, your configuration is saved in the shareable URL. Send it to your co-writer, art group, or campaign party so everyone draws from the same species pool.
