I thought it might be fun (and potentially useful) to generate some interesting NPCs using ChatGPT. I went fairly generic to start with:
Prompt: Create a Tiefling cartographer NPC for D&D. Give them some interesting character traits and a backstory set in the Forgotten Realms. Make them a bit cranky
Name: Zara'kal Race: Tiefling Class: Cartographer
Appearance: Zara'kal is a tall and lean tiefling with dark red skin, a long tail, and a pair of curved horns on her forehead. She has a sharp, angular face and deep-set black eyes that seem to take in everything around her. She is often seen wearing a long, dark cloak and carrying a large map case filled with maps and instruments for cartography.
Personality: Zara'kal is a bit of a loner and can come across as quite cranky. She is fiercely independent and doesn't like to rely on others for help. She is also fiercely protective of her maps and will go to great lengths to keep them safe. She can be quite stubborn and doesn't take kindly to people trying to tell her what to do. Despite her grumpiness, she is a skilled cartographer and will willingly share her knowledge with those she deems worthy.
Backstory: Zara'kal was born in a small village named "Kethyr" located on the outskirts of the city of Waterdeep in the Forgotten Realms. Her parents were both cartographers and instilled in her a love of maps and the art of cartography from a young age. She spent most of her childhood exploring the surrounding wilderness and making her own maps of the area.
When she was a teenager, her village was attacked by a group of bandits. Her parents were killed in the raid and their maps and instruments were stolen. Zara'kal narrowly escaped and was left alone and without any means to continue her passion. She swore to herself that she would find and kill the bandits, and recover the stolen maps.
She spent the next few years traveling and working as a cartographer for hire, using her earnings to fund her search for the bandits. Eventually she found and killed them, recovering her parents' stolen maps and instruments. She now travels the Forgotten Realms, offering her cartography services to those in need, and always looking for new and uncharted lands to map.

Quirks:
- Zara'kal is extremely protective of her maps and will not let anyone else handle them.
- She has a habit of talking to herself while she works.
- She has a collection of trinkets and keepsakes from the places she's mapped and will often pull them out to remember her journey
- She's always looking for new places to map and will often take on jobs on the most remote locations.
