Hey all! I decided to attempt a new spin on a family tree CAF. Fantasy is a pretty broad term, you can be creative in what fantasy means for you. I have name banks that range from medieval to futuristic, old fashioned to modern, traditional to creative. I added a section for occupations. I typed the occupations up as more medieval in phrasing but please feel free to adapt your options to occupations that make sense in your setting. I know, at least for me, there are plenty of guilty pleasure names I can't bring myself to use in a typical CAF knowing I can’t picture real people with the names - or worse, have associations like a brand of medicine or something that make it feel unusable lol! So there will be some more adventurous options on the lists. 

 

For names, feel free to use any gender’s name bank for your character (ie a girl’s name for a boy or a unisex name for a girl). Some of the links did not lend well to creating a proper unisex name bank, despite my best efforts to include one for each name bank. Of course in real life people can use any name on any gender but it feels especially well suited for a fantasy realm!

Surname: 

 

Parent 1: {gender your choice}

Parent 2: {gender your choice} 

 

Children

You choose what number of sides you’d like on your dice to roll for the potential number of children. Roll for the gender of each child with even being a girl and odd being a boy. You can get creative here and choose a number to indicate an androgynous character instead of just girl/boy. The next round will have a time jump to when the youngest child is 18 - so this is different in typical CAF’s in that this one round will not be the typical 5 year jump. No worries for the rest, though! Every round after this one will resume having 5 years between each round.
