Character Creation

**Character Creation** allows the player to customize their character before the story campaign begins. Various aspects of the character can be adjusted, some of which can not be changed later in the game yet. If the player wishes to change these aspects, they need to reset their character via the Settings menu. Currently only 1 character can be created per account. A separate character slot will become available for the planned Nuzlocke feature.

## Body settings

Various options to change the morphological appearance of the character are available. These settings are currently unique to character creation and can not be adjusted later in the game.

### Body type

Two body types are available, representing a feminine and masculine morphology. They are not tied to pronouns and do not reflect sex or gender, so they can be freely chosen depending on personal preference. All cosmetics are compatible with all body types, with only minor differences for the top slot in some cases.

### Skin color

A wide range of skin colors is available.

### Style

Four style options are available, representing idle stances and running animations. Note that the stances and running animations are associated with each other and can not be selected separately.

### Head shape

Several head shape options can be selected. They differ mostly in the lower half, with focus on the chin.

### Face

Face settings provide a range of variations for eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. Note that these are associated with each face option and can not be selected separately.

## Cosmetics

Unlike the other settings, cosmetics can be changed later in the game. Note that various options available during character creation are not yet available in boutiques. This applies to dye colors as well.

### Head slot

Various hairstyles and dye options are available. Most dye colors are currently not yet available in boutiques. Note that the hairstyle chosen during character creation can not be traded.

### Top slot

Various clothes for the top slot are available. Some dye colors are currently not yet available in boutiques.

### Bottom slot

Various clothes for the bottom slot are available. Some dye colors are currently not yet available in boutiques.

### Bag slot

Two bags are available, namely the Hiking backpack and School Bag. Some dye colors are currently not yet available in boutiques. Note that these bags can not be traded.

## Identity settings

The final tab of the character creation screen allows the player to create a username, select their preferred pronouns and preferred voice. These settings can not be changed at a later point in the game. *Note: the option to freely change pronouns is confirmed for an upcoming update.*

### Name

A unique character name must be chosen. Several rules apply regarding the length, available characters and capitalization.

* Names must be unique.
* Names must be between 3 and 15 characters.
* Only a-z characters.
* At most 3 words can be used, separated by a space ( ), apostrophe (') or hyphen (-).
* At most 2 separators can only be used inbetween words and can't be used consecutively.
* At least one of the words must have 3 characters.
* Only the first character of each word can be capitalized.

### Pronoun

Two or three pronoun options are available, depending on the language. They represent masculine and feminine options, as well as a non-binary alternative.

### Voice

Currently two voices are available. Simple sounds are used in certain dialogues and overworld scenarios, such as jumping onto the surfboard.
