 * 4) Alignment
 * 5) Abilities
 * 6) Skills
 * 7) Appearance
 * 8) Name

Gender
The player has a simple choice between male and female. Male characters will have access to three potential romances. Female characters will only have access one potential romance. After the gender is selected, a portrait will have to be selected. There are already many portraits available, but custom portraits can be imported.

Race
The player has a choice between Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Gnome, Halfling, Dwarf, and Half-Orc. The race chosen affects which classes can be selected.

Class
There are eleven classes to choose from and some have specialized kits. Humans can choose any class or kit, but non-humans will have some restrictions. Non-humans can, however, choose to multi-class.
