Q: In what ways can the player character be customized?

A: We chose to implement five unique characters, and placed the focus on how the player customizes their chosen character's abilities as they progress through the game.

As for their appearance, the player can mix and match any of the dozens of armor types that they find/create in the game and those combinations are reflected in the appearance of the character avatar.
