OC Maker Wheel – Spin a Random Character

An OC maker wheel helps you create a random original character (OC). Press "Spin all" and four wheels choose your character's hair colour, eye colour, skin tone and personality at once – then you draw or write the character that comes out.

OC Maker Wheel with sample entries: Black and Brown

Edit any wheel to fit your story or art style: swap personality for a fantasy race, an outfit, a weapon or a zodiac sign. The wheels are saved on your device, and you can share the set with friends for an OC challenge.

How to Make an OC With the Wheel

1

Spin all

Four wheels decide hair colour, eye colour, skin tone and personality.

2

Sketch the basics

Draw a quick head-and-shoulders portrait with the colours you got.

3

Build the story

Use the personality to decide a name, a goal and one flaw. Spin again for a sidekick.

Skin Tones and Inclusive Characters

The skin tone wheel covers a wide range from very fair to deep, so random characters reflect people from India, the Philippines and everywhere else. Change the labels to match the palette names your art app uses.

Is It Random?

Every entry has the same chance: the wheel picks with your browser's cryptographic random generator before the animation starts. Turn on Auto-remove winner to go through the whole list without repeats.

Each wheel is spun independently, so every combination is possible – there are 14,400 different combinations with the default lists.
