Scars in the Alpha-2 character creator (first pass).[1]

The cool thing about this character creator is that it's not just intended for your character. It has application with NPCs that you might hire.[2]Steven Sharif

We're gonna use similar tech for implementing things like Animal husbandry.[3]Zachary Mallet

Kaelar Alpha-2 character creation (first pass).[4]

This tech is 100% created in-house at Intrepid and is not metahuman.[5]Steven Sharif

We'll be adding many, many more customization options to the character creator.[6]Cody Peterson

The character creator (or character customization system) allows players to define the look of their in-game characters, hired NPCs; and potentially creatures raised by the animal husbandry profession.[2][7]

The Ashes of Creation character creator is 100% developed in-house by Intrepid Studios and is not MetaHuman.[5]

Additional character creator features include.

  • There will be unlockable features for character customization.[11]
You have that scar because you participated in this siege, or these many sieges; or you have this tattoo because of your of a cultural background, or because of a quest that was accomplished where you're able to get that.[11]Steven Sharif
  • The ability to save and potentially to share characters with other players.[1][12]
The beauty of it is that you can save your character- and we already have some of those features available- and load them; and in the future we want people to be able to share those characters amongst each other.[1]Margaret Krohn
  • The ability to undo changes (Ctrl + Z) will be supported, including undoing changes that were made several edits earlier.[13][14]
  • Choosing base idle animations of characters will be possible in future.[15]
    • Certain animations, such as blinking, will be present when they don't interfere with the customization process.[16]
  • Certain ability sound effects will adhere to character customization selections, such as race.[17]
  • Adjusting the background scene and lighting is a planned feature.[16]
There's going to be a lot of environmental controls that are offered to the character creator so that people can set it up their scene the way they want to grab screenshots or to grab recordings or whatever they want to do.[18]Steven Sharif
  • Asymmetry in terms of manipulating different components of the body or different body features such as hair, beard, and eyes.[19]
Asymmetry is going to be functionality that's possible in manipulating either different components of the body or different features like hair. The beard we saw a little bit of that blending with highlights that you can do. Margaret talked a little bit about the eye asymmetry that you can include. Obviously those are going to exist within certain parameters that we want to define on a per-race basis, but it is something that we think is cool.[19]Steven Sharif
  • Body adornments, such as piercings will be possible within cultural limits.[20]
  • The developers are considering whether to allow custom tattoos to be uploaded by users.[21]

The aim is for the character creator to be on par if not much better than that of BDO.[22][23]
