Who are you in 1520 Florence?
Chronicle builds your historical persona from personality to costume, layer by layer, era by era, authentically yours.
For the gate, stage, and gathering
A character creation companion for historical play.
Chronicle helps Renaissance faire participants, LARPers, SCA members, and historical cosplay enthusiasts build a fully realized historical persona with a personality, layered costume, and rich backstory before they ever step into character.
Five eras
Your story lives in the details.
Choose from five historically grounded periods, each with regional variants that shape your name, wardrobe, archetype, and story.
Knights, clergy, healers, traders, and Norse-inspired warrior traditions.
Gothic silhouettes, formal society, industrial age drama, and layered refinement.
Court life, theater, exploration, scholarly ambition, and high period fashion.
Egyptian pharaonic, classical, and early-world inspirations for legendary personas.
