I’m not planning to have a super in-depth character creator for this simple RPG, but I do plan to have some basic options. Here’s a collage of the portraits players can select:

I generated both male and female options in three different skin tones. Those will replace the eyepatch guy on the prototype UI.

I’ve also put in stat blocks for both a warrior-type character and a wizard-type character, so that’ll also be an option. The Cobalt RPG system doesn’t make a strict distinction between classes (so any character can learn spells, etc.) but there are still differences in stats and initial skills. The warrior is stronger, that sort of thing.

The remaining (and most basic) option is naming the character!

Not gonna lie, the character design, although simple, is still utilizable.

Although, can you choose different outfits for them? That would give your characters more “variety” and taste.

@UdemeUmoh7 Some variety in the outfits is definitely what I would do next to improve the portraits further. However, for this project I'm not sure if I need to improve them any further. This is just kind of a low stakes hobby project (basically a game jam project without time pressure) and I'm already planning the next game that expands on the mechanics I came up with here.
