For the last couple of weeks I have been working on an online Numenera character generator. Though it is still a bit buggy, I think it's ready for primetime...
Troy's Numenera Character Generator
There are other Numenera character generators out there already (two free ones that I know of, PrimeJunta's and DarkLiquid's), and it will not offend me at all if people prefer those to this one. More choices are good, yes? The reason I felt the need to add to the pile was that I wanted a character generator with all of the extra options from all the official supplements. So far as I know, this is currently the only free online generator with everything from both CO1 and CO2.
My character generator doesn't look pretty, I admit. The intent is to give you enough to pencil in a real character sheet yourself, calculating numerical values and separating trained skills from actual special abilities (which tend to be mingled together in official sources but are supposed to be listed separately on a character sheet). All fluff text is removed also-- it's all well and good for the official books to spend a sentence or two explaining why "naive" characters get training in perception, but it's not necessary to write all that out on your naive nano's character sheet. (And the Fan Use Policy says to not reproduce any descriptive text in projects like this anyway.)
In case it's not clear how to use the generator, just select whatever sounds cool from the three drop-down boxes (I suggest hideous glint who gazes into the abyss), then click "click me", then click some +'s, and lastly click two Type abilities. (Or three, if you are a glaive who stands like a bastion). Currently it doesn't let you "undo" anything; just have to click "click me" and start over if you added points to the wrong pool. I know it's not as user-friendly as perhaps it could be, but I know how to use it, and that's the important thing. ;)
Obviously, this is a fan project, not an official MCG thing.
