Text-based Story/Character Generator

Micro

Hey guys, so I want to create a text-based character generator for you all to use. It doesn't have to be something I can make in MV, but rather a website I can use.

Here is a generic idea of what I want to do: [Name] (or simply [Gender]) is a [Race] [Class] from [Location]. This person's major goal is [Goal] but they get caught up in [Event] and must [Action] [Person/Thing/Place].

so what I need help with is how to create such a generator that can pull from a small database of things I make up with the above tags that I create.

note that this is just an example I threw together in a few seconds, I might make a few different generators for variety--for different game genres or something.

the easiest way I can think of would just be to create a list of things for each tag and have people use a random number generator to build it manually, but it would be annoying and a pain. I want it to be as simple as a few clicks!

This would be a great resource to have, since everyone from the RT can contribute and it will be a great way to inspire everyone if they are stuck.

Thanks for your help!

@Micro,
Feel free to change and edit.
If needed I could make an actual app in which you wouldn't require messing with code to add new tags/add, change the order and etc.
