Powered Up Character Creation
Character Creation

The characters you create in this game are your eyes and ears in the labyrinth. Customize their classes, names, and appearances to form a party of up to 5 adventurers. Not only does each of the 10 classes feature 4 unique designs, but you can now adjust their hair, eye, and skin colors. You can even choose from around 40 voices (or none at all)!

Customize explorers to form your own adventuring party!

Legendary Titles
Legendary Names

Once you meet certain conditions over the course of your adventure, you will be acknowledged as Masters. Once that happens, you can select one of two sub-classes known as Legendary Titles. Your decision will determine the Mastery Skills a given character can learn, so choose accordingly. Don't like the default names? You can change your Legendary Title to anything you want!

Legendary Titles can be viewed on the page for each class!

Changing Classes
Changing Classes
New adventurers in the city of Iorys are ordered by the Council to take on a quest that will put their skills to the test. Those who complete the request are then allowed to change classes. Because the four cultures of Arcania work together here, classes normally barred by race become available to all. Upon changing a character's class, their appearance and status will stay the same, but their level will decrease by 5. This allows you to broaden your range of skills and diversify your party.
Alternate Colors
Alternate Character Colors
Each character design includes Normal Colors and Alternate Colors. Selecting Alternate Colors allows you to adjust clothes, equipment, and accessories for a more colorful cast of characters.
