One of City of Heroes' most beloved features is its unparalleled Costume Customization system. You can change almost every aspect of your hero's appearance at a Tailor (found in most major zones). Experiment with different costume pieces, colors, patterns, and even auras to create a truly unique look. You can save multiple costume slots and switch between them freely. Don't underestimate the power of a great costume – it's part of your hero's identity!

Emotes allow your character to express themselves through various animations and poses. Type /emote [emote name] in chat (e.g., /emote dance). There are hundreds of emotes, some unlocked through gameplay, others available from vendors. Emotes are a fun way to interact with other players and add personality to your hero.
