Craft Deeper Characters, Build Cohesive Worlds
Welcome to the Holistic Character Assessment Toolkit—a collaborative platform blending writing, game design, and psychology. Explore guided forms, checklists, and interactive prototypes that bring your narratives to life.
What Is H-CAT?
H-CAT merges character tools with narrative and world-building methods, so you can develop richer stories and TTRPG campaigns. We combine creative writing principles, RPG mechanics, and psychological frameworks (Enneagram, Jungian functions, etc.) to guide you step by step. Everything is community-driven and continually evolving—your feedback shapes our forms, resources, and future features.
Holistic Character Forms & Templates
Flesh out every aspect of your characters—from basic attributes like name, race, and appearance to deeper traits like personality, relationships, and backstory. Our forms are structured checklists designed to ensure no detail goes overlooked. Check out our blog posts for step-by-step guides on each form.
