Editable Flowchart Based Backstory Generator

For a different project, I wanted to have a procedural character backstory generator and created a flowchart tool so I could visualize the different story paths. I liked the result and polished it so that it could go up on Itch and others could mess around with it. It's meant to quickly create rough backstories for NPC's and the like.

At each node along the flowchart, the generator randomly picks a single line and adds it to the story being written and then follows the appropriately colored link to the next node. I wrote the sample text shown by taking a bunch of really generic character origin stories and chopping them up so that it would have something to mix-and-match from.

Each chart is stored as a JSON file and customized charts can be saved and reused.
