+## Inspiration
+
+After someone in Final Fantasy XIV mentioned how useful the `/random` command would be in Discord, I decided to create a bot to make that a reality. The bot features original code written by yours truly (though it wasn't initially tracked with `git`). I named the bot after Cait Sith, a character from Final Fantasy VII, whose class and personality made him a fitting namesake for this randomization bot.
