You can customize gender. And as far as appearance customization goes, I've only seen outfits explicitly mentioned.

I honestly like how silly it look. It fits with the character having gone to torpor somewhere in the 1900s and having no idea about modern fashion.

You determine Fyre’s personality and appearance through a prologue sequence set in a festival.

The Halloween video described your player character as being like Commander Shepard, so... maybe? They haven't actually shown anything related to the character generation, so there's no telling at this point exactly what visual tweaks you can make on your character. The concept art showed both male and female versions, so you probably have at least as much choice there as Bloodlines 1 had?

I think if there were a full on character creator they probably would have mentioned it by now. Though maybe it will be like Bloodlines 1 where each clan and gender combo had their own look.

Given the dev team size behind this, I'm going to assume it'll be premade outfits based on gender/class.

Although, they are doing third person cutscenes so I expect horse armor DLC to meet Paradox's endless cash-grab requirements for their games.


Also, if the Malk DLC doesn't have the PC singing "Girl on Phyre", what is even the point of this game?

Hell, I'm assuming the PC has an androgynous/nonbinary look simply because it minimizes the work they have to do between male and female customizations.

Just wait until Phyre finds their old coterie and gets them all out of torpor. Seattle will tremble when Eayrth, Phyire, Whynd, Whatar, and Heayrte all combine their powers.

lol that calls my attention to the fact that "reawakened vampire meets up with old pals and finds out the hard way that they are total assholes" is sooo standard and straightforward a story beat here that I have absolutely no faith in it being executed well

Soulstorm is an expansion pack for the 40K game Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, and is memetic for it's charming jankiness, which includes a badly accented Space Marine leader talking about his 'Spehss Marehns' and their tactic of 'Steel Rain' (basically ineffectively dropping small squads of troops from orbit). That said, i don't think Max (the comic artist) was deliberately making a video game reference; 'Steel Rain' just sounds like the usual moto BS that a Marine would think sounds cool.

Steel Rain is what mortar teams call it when they are shooting a bunch of mortars.

Also 0341 is the mortar team MOS.

Adam Driver was assigned to the Weapons Company in 1st Marines as an 81mm mortarman. That's what the 1 in the diamond is referencing.
