Do you have a <code>__wildcards__</code> folder that has achieved sentience? A stack of nested text files where "random_person_v3_FINAL_actually_final.txt" occasionally produces a redhead with jet-black eyebrows wearing a business suit and flip-flops in a snowstorm?Yeah. Me too. That's why I built this.<h3 id="comfyui-identity-forge">ComfyUI Identity Forge</h3><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/EnragedAntelope/comfyui-identity-forge">https://github.com/EnragedAntelope/comfyui-identity-forge</a>See it in action first:- [Archetype gallery](<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://enragedantelope.github.io/comfyui-identity-forge/gallery/archetypes/">https://enragedantelope.github.io/comfyui-identity-forge/gallery/archetypes/</a>) — themed looks (knight, sorceress, surgeon, 1950s diner waitress, and dozens more) dropped onto a random person- [Cosplay gallery](<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://enragedantelope.github.io/comfyui-identity-forge/gallery/cosplay/">https://enragedantelope.github.io/comfyui-identity-forge/gallery/cosplay/</a>) — the deep end of the pool, see below- [Creature gallery](<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://enragedantelope.github.io/comfyui-identity-forge/gallery/creatures/">https://enragedantelope.github.io/comfyui-identity-forge/gallery/creatures/</a>) — hybrids, ferals, anthros, all of itDon't see your favorite character or archetype? Find a bug? Open an issue or PR — new entries get folded into the built-in set.What it isA ComfyUI node pack that turns dropdown menus into a full, ready-to-render character prompt (plus a structured JSON record, if you want it). No LLM. No API key. No model download. Pure Python — install it and it just works, without dragging anything else into your environment.Why it doesn't produce garbageRandom generators are usually dumb — that's the whole problem with big wildcard stacks. Identity Forge runs everything through a constraint engine before it hands you a prompt, so it won't hand you a pale-skinned person tagged with an ethnicity that doesn't match, and it won't put "cozy fireplace lighting" on an outdoor daytime scene. Locations, lighting, expressions, poses, accessories — every one of these is coherent with everything else, not just individually plausible.Every field works the same way: randomize it, lock it to something specific, or turn it off. Want a fully random person? Leave everything alone. Want a random person with green eyes in loungewear, full stop? Lock those two fields and randomize the rest. It's seed-stable too, so a character you like can be reproduced exactly.The Cosplay node - do NOT miss this!This is the one to pay attention to. It's not a list of character names — each entry has a full canonical description of the character plus variants of their most iconic looks, and where a character is known for a specific prop (Thor's hammer, Captain America's shield), that's in there (optionally!) too. So even on a T2I model that doesn't actually "know" the character by name, you've got a real shot at getting something recognizable.A few things that make it more than a costume list:- Crossplay support — put the costume on a random person regardless of gender, or scope it to match- Unmask toggle — for masked characters (Spider-Man, a Mandalorian helmet) the node normally suppresses the randomized face/hair since it's hidden anyway; flip Unmask to reveal the person underneath the suit- Franchise scoping — tell the random roll to stay within Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Anime &amp; Manga, etc.And you can stack it: run a Cosplayer into a Creature node and you get that character's costume surviving onto a hybrid, feral, or anthro body — Superman as an anthropomorphic praying-mantis/sloth hybrid is a real thing this pack can produce. Or run a Cosplayer into an Archetype for "your favorite character, but as a 1950s diner waitress." This is the whole reason wildcard stacking for character work stops making sense once you have this node.The rest of the toolkit- Archetype node — themed looks by job, hobby, era, or aesthetic, layered onto a randomized person- Creature node — animal, insect, monster, alien, and more, fully feral or anthropomorphic — and hybrids are per-body-part, so a boar's head on hummingbird wings is a normal request here, not a nightmare of manual prompt surgery- Modifier node — drop a custom descriptor onto one field or a whole group without rebuilding anything- Vault — save a character you like (with a thumbnail) and recall it later as a chainable presetAll of these chain into each other and into the main Identity Forge node instead of fighting over a single socket — whichever node sits closest to Identity Forge in the chain wins on any overlapping field, so you can stack presets and know exactly which one takes priority.Sample workflowA sample workflow for Krea2 Turbo is attached — but Identity Forge isn't tied to any particular model, it just outputs a prompt string, so it drops into whatever you're already running. The attached workflow was built with [comfy-draftsman](<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/EnragedAntelope/comfy-draftsman">https://github.com/EnragedAntelope/comfy-draftsman</a>).InstallNo dependencies to fight with.ComfyUI Manager (recommended): search "Identity Forge," click Install, restart.Git clone:```cd ComfyUI/custom_nodesgit clone <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/EnragedAntelope/comfyui-identity-forge">https://github.com/EnragedAntelope/comfyui-identity-forge</a>```Restart ComfyUI and you're generating characters.
