What is 16Core Character Mapper?
16Core Character Mapper is a free tool for Windows that helps writers, screenwriters, and game designers build a memorable cast. Grounded in established psychological research, it's a secret weapon against bland characters that all feel the same.
Instantly compare your cast on the visual chart to see, at a glance, how their personalities will clash and connect—both with each other and the world you've built.
Key Features:
- Visually map character personalities across 16 core traits.
- Instantly compare multiple characters to spot clones and create dynamic contrasts.
- Organize your cast into groups (e.g., Main, Supporting, Background).
- Export the entire chart as a high-quality PNG for your story bible or notes.
- Switch between a clean light mode and a focused dark mode.
The app is offered as donationware - it is completely free to use and donations are entirely optional. It is an ideal tool for anyone looking to move beyond flat character archetypes and build a memorable cast.
