I have finally gotten around to adding Flavors to the Cypher System Character Generator.
Keep in mind that "[t]he GM should always be involved in flavoring a type." (TCS Rulebook, page 50). If you are rolling up a player character, you'll want to check with your GM to make sure that your desired Type/Flavor combination fits in with the GM's vision of the world.
Also, the CS Character Generator will not stop you from making, for example, a Warrior with Combat flavor. The CS Rulebook points out that "very little" is gained from doing this, but there are a few Combat Flavor abilities that aren't offered to Warriors, so go nuts (subject to GM approval, obviously).
Also, just for fun, while I was at it I went ahead added a Genre of my own making to the generator: "Weird West/Steampunk" (think Deadlands/Doomtown, or Malifaux, or any of a thousand steampunk settings). It has some magic-oriented foci, mostly those that are of a psionic nature, or illusionary, or that contact the dead. Those seem like somewhat reasonable magicks to have in a Weird West setting.
