Appearance
Your appearance is customizable according to the player's preferences. You can choose gender, skin tone, facial features and hairstyle. You have a closet available to change your wardrobe.

Personality
Your personality depends on the player's choices but can be generally perceived as a helpful, amiable, and confident person. If Your Character follows Sun-Atts' personalities to a T, you also are very loyal, and are skilled at getting people to work together. Atlas tells you that you have Mom's optimism, although the gene for magickal aptitude and problem solving must have skipped you. Atlas' caretakers told him/her that your mom never lost hope that you'd all get through this and be a family again. According to Atlas, Your Character apparently inherited your birth father's ability to be good at sports.

In Book 2, Chapter 5, Alma revealed to Atlas that your mother is the Sun Source which makes you both half-mortal and that her name is Theia.
