*Avowed* expands the enchanting world of Eora, initially explored in the *Pillars of Eternity* series, bringing a rich tapestry of fantasy races into its narrative. While the diversity among the races of Kith is vast, the character creation options in *Avowed* are somewhat limited. Here's a comprehensive guide to the playable races you can choose from in *Avowed*.

Humans (Known In-Universe as Folk)

Humans, referred to as Folk in *Avowed*, dominate the population of the game and are a central option in the character creator. As part of the broader Kith category, which encompasses various sentient and civilized species, Humans offer extensive customization options. The character creator includes numerous presets, detailed customization tools, a variety of facial presets, a skin tone slider, and diverse hair textures. These features are designed to help players craft a character that closely represents them.

Elves

Elves are another selectable race in *Avowed*. They closely resemble humans but are distinguished by unique facial structures and their iconic long, pointed ears. The character creation for Elves provides a similar level of customization as for Humans, ensuring players can tailor their Elf character to their preferences.

Godlikes

The third race option in *Avowed* is the Godlikes. Though all Envoys are Godlike in the game's lore, players have the choice to display or hide these distinctive features. Godlikes boast unique hair and facial features, ranging from subtle to surreal. At launch, *Avowed* offers 14 Godlike facial features and four Godlike hair options, which are available to all characters regardless of their chosen race or body type.

What Gender Options are Available in the Avowed Character Creator?

*Avowed* provides four Body Types for character customization: two masculine and two feminine, available for both Humans and Elves. Players can also select from two feminine and two masculine voice options. Additionally, players can choose their character’s identifier, which determines the pronouns used for their character, including he, she, or they.

Several Races Present in Avowed Are Not Playable

While *Avowed* features a variety of Kith races within its world, not all are available for player customization. Races such as Dwarves, the semiaquatic Aumaua, and the diminutive, hairy Orlans appear in the game as NPCs but cannot be chosen during character creation. However, there is always the potential for Obsidian Entertainment to expand the character creator with additional race options in future updates or DLCs for *Avowed*.
