Character Creation (aka Create-A-Soul) allows you to create a very customizable character.
Everything down to the lip color is fully customizable. Your character can have
a personality, a voice, a fighting style, and it will all be yours to come up with.
The only thing missing from this is body build, which was not added due to hit detection
complications.
After you choose a gender (male or female, duh), you choose an occupation.
The character you create will have an occupation that you choose,
which has a large roll in what the character is like. Each occupation
determines the different weapons and fighting styles that character will
be able to choose, so choose the style you like best! More styles are unlockable later.
These are the occupations:
Barbarian
A warrior from the frontier who refuses to rely on modern technology.
Crushes the enemy with brute physical strength garnered from nature and a raw instict for survival.
Monk
An ascetic who fights with a body hardened from intense training under strict discipline. Has an iron will that refuses to back down from protecting their beliefs and path.
Theif
Dweller of the night who travels the world in search of treasure. Fearless in
persuit of their objective, yet ever so cautious. Prefers to take the enemy by surprise.
Dancer
A beautiful and graceful charmer who enchants the hearts of all. A body lithe
from adventure and continuous training will turn even a battleground into a stage.
Saint
A devotee of God who does not question good or evil of any deed under God's
name. This otherwise gentle soul will bring down divine judgment on all heathens and blasphemers without mercy.
Ninja
A shadow warrior from Japan who carries out the master's bidding with deadly
precision. Ready to die in order to complete the master's mission.
Gladiator
A fighter who descends into the heat of battle for fortune and glory. Overcomes all
enemies with the power and fortitude cultivated in combat.
Pirate
A fearless warrior of the sea. The power and cunningness that has won countless
battles and vast riches over treacherous waters will lure all enemies to their underwater graves.
Samurai
A warrior from Japan who has vowed fealty to the feudal master.
Values faith and loyalty more than life. Proficient with marshal arts, and excels in sword fighting.
Assassin
A hired killer who stalks in the night, willing to take a friend's life
for the right price. The sheer artistry of the killings will entrall even the intended targets.
Several more such as Swordmaster and Sage are there too!
Your character's personality is not chosen from a preset limited number of personalites.
Your character's personality is shaped by the way he or she dresses. The more grim or
evil looking the clothes are, the more evil-oriented the character will be. The more
bright and happy the clothes are, the more good-oriented the character will be. I think
this adds a nice finishing touch on character creation. I create characters just
to see what kind of people they'll be! =)

Original Character Customization
|
Yes! Not only can you completely customize your own character,
but you can change the colors of the default characters as well.
There are three, sometimes four, customizable parts per character.
Which parts they are depend upon who they are. Each part's color
can be changed to any of the 192 available colors. Don't like
Cassandra with blond hair? Okay, make her a redhead!
Now with all this customization, you might be worried about alternate costumes... No need to worry! Each character still has an alternate costume (both costumes are customizable). =)
