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 cannot 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 one 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 cannot 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 cannot 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 cannot be selected separately.

Eye color
A wide range of eye colors is available.

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. Note that the hairstyle chosen during character creation cannot be traded.

Top slot
Various clothes for the top slot are available.

Bottom slot
Various clothes for the bottom slot are available.

Bag slot
Two bags are currently available. Note that bags selected in the character creation menu cannot 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 cannot 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 2 separators can only be used in between 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.
