Character Prompt Builder - Male Person

Most prompt builders are secretly female-only with a "man" checkbox bolted on. Character Prompt Builder - Male Person is the rare one built for guys from the ground up - and its headline feature is 23 facial-hair styles, which tells you exactly who this is for. If you've been writing "man with beard" and getting a clean-shaven 19-year-old, this is the node that fixes it.

It's the male half of the pack's first link in the chain: Female Person's sibling, same architecture, same PM_SETTINGS dict hand-off. You feed it (optionally) a settings dict from a prior node, it stamps the appearance choices you make, and passes settings onward to the Fashion and Poses nodes. Nothing is rendered as text here - the Scene & Generate node at the end of the chain writes the actual sentence.

What sets the male version apart

• facial_hair - 23 options from "Clean shaven" and "5 o'clock shadow" through "Van Dyke", "Handlebar mustache", and a full long beard. This is the input you'll actually remember this pack for.
• body_type - 33 options skewed toward the gym: Skinny through Athletic, Muscular, Ripped, Jacked, Buff. Pair with height (4ft10–7ft0), body_weight, and waist_size for a fully specified build.
• hair_style - 39 men's cuts: Buzz cut, Fade, High fade, Undercut, Pompadour, Quiff… the kind of list you'd get from a barber, not a generic "short/medium/long."
• facial_expression - the same 213-entry list as the female node, including the fun stuff like "Melancholic."
• Everything else - face shape, eye and nose shape/size, skin tone and the texture family (freckles, moles, acne, tan), eye and iris detail, tattoos - mirrors the female version.

The required block is slim: gender (fixed to "Man"), age (default 30), nationality pair + mix slider, and the body fields. Leave the rest at "-" for a casual shot and you're done; drill into face and skin for a close-up.

How it works

Same mechanism as the rest of the pack: dropdown choices collected into a settings dict, merged down the chain, and finally emitted as natural-language prose. That prose style is the smart play for current models - LLM-based text encoders respond to full descriptive sentences, and this whole pack writes the way a photographer would talk. The male node also proves the pack isn't just a reskin: separate option lists per gender, not one shared dropdown.

Installing

ComfyUI Manager → search Character Prompt Builder → Install, then restart. Or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/euan-gwd/comfyui-character-prompt-builder

Zero pip dependencies, zero model downloads - the pack is pure Python standard library. On first use it may fetch character_prompt.json (the file of all dropdown options) from GitHub; if you're offline it falls back to a smaller default list, so sparse options usually mean "no internet."

Troubleshooting

• Beard didn't appear - facial hair and expression can fight each other in some checkpoints; if your bearded character renders clean-shaven, try simplifying the expression to "-" and re-running. Some SDXL-lineage models just need the hair in a separate clear phrase.
• Node won't show - full restart of ComfyUI after install; check the console for a load error.
• Character renders as a woman - check that the right person node is wired into Scene & Generate, and remember settings_in chains only carry the options you actually set; an unset "Man" node is fine, but wiring the wrong person node into a multi-character scene is an easy mix-up.
