Inspired by the OC contest: Yamaku Student Generator

[Minister of Gloom]

For now, as for random generators that might fit, you may want to try the Maid RPG character generator here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/maidrpg.html
While it's obviously designed to make meido and not disabled high school students, it's usually good enough for a starting inspiration. Now you just choose a gender, a fitting disability(or roll randomly if you want, sounds like more fun to me), and either replace or remove any qualities that might not fit very well into the verse.(Can't see many psychic catgirls running around Yamaku. Now if your character thinks she is, that's kind of interesting, but...)

I tried it and look what I got by just typing a few stuff:
"Your name is Mio. You are 17 years old. You have vermillion eyes and purple hair, and wear a gold maid uniform. You are sexy and boyish; others describe you as curvy, wild and a tomboy.

In addition to being a maid, you have the skills and education of a medical doctor or pharmacist. Rather than a Western-style maid uniform, you wear a Japanese-style uniform featuring a kimono and an apron. You have long, pointed, elfin ears. Although no one would know it looking at you now, you used to be a delinquent; for now, no one else in the mansion knows. You have suffered some kind of strange mutation.

You have long admired maids, and through much hard work you've finally become one yourself. In combat, you fight with a chainsaw. When you are extremely upset, you gorge yourself on food."

I lol'd.
Wonder how the cripple generator will work

Right now there is non, so either you take that sexy tomboyish doctor girl as an inspirational basis and give her a disability of your choosing(vermilion eyes suggest albinism, perhaps), or you try again and hope for a less difficult result. Give it a try! Could be fun.
Perhaps until someone makes a computerized generator we can just make some list of disabilities and just roll dice(I have a strange feeling that at least many of the people on this forum are no strangers to the d20...), or use a random number generator.

In theory, I could write you a command line/terminal application that generates a character, but I dunno if anyone would like using it without a decent GUI... And I'd need kinda large tables containing possible physical and mental features.

But really, it's not that hard to code one. Mainly using a pseudo-random number generator and selecting the features from the indices generated. If that makes sense.

Also, it'd only work on Win32 if I compiled it, since it's not really easy to host a cross-compiler on Windows.

What I had the hardest time with was coming up with a name.

I present thee the solution to such a problem:
http://www.behindthename.com/random/

That's what I used for my character in the contest (which I haven't finished) and various other projects that never saw the light of day.

My result for doing that first time with no surname and feminine japanese given name:

Given the context (i.e.the forum) guess who I'm thinking about with this.
And yes, I realize I have too many honkin' tabs open.

Somebody ask for a character generator?

Katawa Shoujo Character Generator
