-COMET FACTORY-

A comet is an icy, small Solar System body that warms and begins to release gases when passing close to the Sun. They are often created from the cosmic material of a disputed conflict, and are known for embodying certain identifiable archetypal qualities. The interaction of these characteristics produces an extended, gravitationally unbound atmosphere or coma surrounding the nucleus, and sometimes a tail of gas and dust gas blown out from the coma. These phenomena are due to the effects of solar radiation and the outstreaming solar wind plasma acting upon the nucleus of the comet. Over the course of a comet’s lifetime, one can expect to see multiple distinct phases of existence, distinguished by assumed names or titles. As of UX XXXX, there are 4,584 known comets. Above all else, every comet is doomed.

COMET FACTORY is a free solo character creation game/tool for making "Char clones," inspired by the character Char Aznable from the Gundam Universal Century continuity.

It can be played as a jumping-off point to create characters to be used in other TTRPGS or original fiction. It can also be played as a creative exploration of its own.

It's my love letter to mecha genre tropes, the persistence of archetypes, internet webweaving poems, collaging, astronomy diagrams, and all those Tumblr posts about being “doomed by the narrative.”
