characterless
Lacking any distinction
Characterless describes something or someone lacking distinctive qualities, individuality, or interest.
A characterless building is bland and forgettable.
A characterless person seems to have no strong personality or convictions: The town center had been rebuilt into a characterless sprawl of chain stores.
The word implies not just neutrality but a disappointing absence of what should be there.
