The best writing studio for long-form projects
With Extypis, your whole story world stays in one place: characters, places, themes, plots. Write them yourself, or have them generated by an AI that has already read your manuscript.
Character Name Generator
Build unique characters for your novels: pick a culture, era, and genre, then flesh out each character with a personality trait, motivation, and flaw.
Why use a character name generator?
A wrong name kills immersion. A medieval knight named 'Kevin' or a samurai called 'Pierre' instantly pulls the reader out of the story. This generator offers authentic names sorted by culture and era, with etymology when available.
Beyond the name: the character. A great character is more than a name. That's why our tool also lets you 'develop' each name into a character seed: personality trait, core motivation, fatal flaw, and narrative role. Enough to kickstart your character sheet.
14 cultures, 5 eras. From modern French to medieval Nordic, from ancient Greek to invented fantasy names — over 300 first names and 100 last names, all chosen for authenticity and storytelling potential.
Go further with Extypis
Extypis builds this generator right into the editor. The AI gives your characters a face and your places a setting, and writes their descriptions from what your manuscript already holds — never from a prompt out of nowhere. @character mentions then keep every sheet tied to your text.
62 features. Just enough.
Everything Extypis unlocks for you
Five areas, from the first outline to the file ready to send: everything you ask of a writing app. Here is what each one covers.
Hold your story, from outline to final page.
Narrative tools you won't find elsewhere — turn a tangle of ideas into a structure that holds.
An AI that suggests, you decide
The AI permanently sees your whole project — outline, sheets, scenes already written. Every rewrite, every completion, every suggestion, every cover stays consistent with your entire work, and at no extra cost or setup. You approve every word.
Estimates if you only use this feature. Credits are shared across every AI tool.
Daily writing comfort
Everything that makes long-form writing sustainable: shortcuts, templates, anchored notes, versions, goals.
Analyse and refine your prose
Style tools that go beyond the spell-checker: readability, poetic meter, repetitions, connectors, passive voice.
Ship a book, not a file.
From manuscript to finished book: professional exports, academic citations, direct publishing.
