Upon starting a new game, you'll be prompted to create your Builder. While the customization options aren't as extensive as some RPGs, you can choose your character's gender, hair color, hairstyle, eye color, and skin tone. These choices are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay or stats. Take your time to craft a character that you'll enjoy seeing throughout your adventure. Don't worry too much about making a 'perfect' choice, as you'll eventually unlock the ability to change your appearance later in the game at a special facility on the Isle of Awakening. Your initial choices are simply a starting point for your heroic journey.
