Not really a generator but a simple little method for building a character from scratch when you really don't have a clue as to what you are looking for.
1) Pick 5 numbers between 1 and 58, all different. (make sure you right them down)
2) Pick 2 more numbers between 1 and 38. (write these down as well, so you don't forget)
3) follow the first link on the bottom of this page and write down the Personality Traits which correspond to your first 5 numbers.
4) Follow the second link and write down the Personality quirks which correspond to your second 2 numbers.
5) Now, imagine what a person with these characteristics would be like. Work to incorporate all of the traits into the personality, but if certain traits are at odds remove the one that is the least like the others, or if two are exactly opposite allow them to cancel each other out.
5a) If you end up with too little to work with because the traits just couldn't be melded and you had to drop too many, pick a few more numbers at random and begin again.
6) Once you have a basic personality you can begin to work on the characters background by determining what events might have led to the development of such a personality and using any and all other techniques you know of.
