As I mentioned before, my level 1 characters always seem the same when they have the same class.

We wanted to solve this problem in the characters of our game from the very beginning.

So here is one idea of how to give them unique personalities and motivations: the Dramatic Aspects sheet! (Which we designed to use with Shadowdark but should work with most TTRPGs)

Dramatic Aspects sheet

Use the following tables to create unique aspects for your character in a couple of rolls.

Random tables for Virtues, Vices and Philosophy

And, if you are playing Shadowdark, give your players a Luck Token every time they use their aspects to make their life or that of the party more complicated.
