Revision 1

Character creation in Windrose allows players to customize their pirate captain before entering the game world. The character creation screen was visible in pre-release screenshots but detailed information about the available options is limited.

Known features

The Steam Next Fest demo includes a character creation menu. Screenshots show a full-body character model with various customization options available. Based on the demo:

• Players can customize physical appearance (face, hair, body type)

• The character starts the game shipwrecked by Blackbeard, so initial clothing is basic regardless of customization choices

• Equipment appearance changes as players find and craft new gear

Co-op identity

In multiplayer sessions with up to four players, character creation provides visual distinction between crew members. Each player controls their own customized captain, and appearance differences help identify who is who during ship boarding and group combat.

Future expansion

Character creation options are expected to expand throughout Early Access. The current demo represents an early slice of the full game, and cosmetic variety is a natural area for iterative development.
