Aion Character Customization

I mentioned the extensive character customization features in Aion a few times before, but let’s talk more about it now. It’s hard to describe it with only words, but fortunately there’s plenty of videos and screenshots to back it up and show you just how cool this can be!

The character creation of Aion gives players many options. The face and detail choices look very nice, and they also have some really nice options for tattoos. Hopefully it will be further expanded, but for now it’s more than fine.

If you want to tweak your appearance there are plenty of sliders with which you can get really diverse and even funny results. Here’s an excerpt from a Aion (p)review previously posted:

There is an unholy degree of character customization. For my female warrior, I had 44 hairstyles, 20 faces, and six bodies. There were 23 “premade” face/hair combinations. There were tattoo options. And there were 25 face sliders to customize everything from eyebrows to nose tilt. And there will apparently be voice options as well, although they were not functional while I was testing. There are also body sliders. Some people pushed those sliders aaaaaaaaall the way to the right, predictably.

And, another excerpt from the other Aion review I posted here:

I have to say in all honesty that Aion sports one of the most customizable character creators I have seen. Aion gives you infinitely more options than many of its competitors, and rivals and possibly exceeds Age of Conan.  For starters, the creator has a color palettes that enable you to make almost any part of your character into any color you can imagine.  This opens the door for some very creative and also very silly looking toons.  Hair, skin, and lip color can be anything from standard colors to wild shades of green and purple.

Sliders and more sliders.  This creator has sliders for everything you mind can think of, as well as stuff probably wouldn’t have considered.  When you make your character, the 2 main aspects are designing your face and your body.  The body creator has 12 sliders alone, one of which includes a height slider that can make your character as small as a child or a tall as an ogre.  As if that wasn’t quite enough, the face customizer has another 25 sliders!  It’s very easy to lose yourself at this point, and if it wasn’t a beta, I might have been there for quite some time trying to sculpt my guys face.  In conclusion here, there are enough options to make your character look unique despite the fact there are only 2 races to chose from.

I also previously posted a couple of videos, namely the Elyos character creation and Asmodian character creation, which I definitely recommend checking out. If that’s not enough for you, here’s one more (it’s in japanese though, but you’ll get the picture):

Additionally, in patch 1.5 (the NA/EU release version) there’s a few new western models and haircuts added:

And last but not the least, if you’re still not convinced Aion’s character customization features are the shizzle, perhaps the following pic will change your mind; remind you of someone? We got more celebrity pics in the Aion characters gallery.
