The character creator is broken up into multiple options. To start, you have your race which you can choose from Human or Beastren. Both of which have a masculine and feminine variant. Once you choose your race, this can not be altered upon finalization. After this, you have your base head which is a combination of two heads to create the final variant.

Once you have selected these options, you will get into the detailed customization menu. This is where you will start using the different sliders and choose among many options for creating your character and Pawn. Let’s break these down.
