Creating a unique costume for your Hero is one of the most enjoyable tasks of character creation. Although there are literally millions of possible unique costume combinations, the costume design process is fun and easy if you just take it step by step.

First, select your Hero’s skin color (click on a colored dot). If you want to coordinate your costume easily, use the Copy Current Colors button. This will make your entire costume conform to the two colors currently selected. If you want to color each piece of your outfit differently, make sure this option isn’t selected.

Now just work your way down, starting with the head (where you can choose from a wide variety of hairstyles, masks, helmets, glasses and more exotic choices), through the upper body (torso, gloves and belt) to the lower body (trunk and boots). The costume design screen allows you to rotate the figure at will by clicking on the curved arrows, and to zoom in on your Hero’s head and torso for an up-close look. The Head’s shape can be further defined on this screen. After selecting a Head type you can then adjust the Shape of the head using the Shape selector. You can then fine tune the Shape you have chosen by selecting the Scales button in the left column.

A hero’s identity is tied to their costume almost as much as their name. A special store is located in Steel Canyon, Independence

Port, and Founder’s Falls for heroes to change their look. This store is called “Icon” and is commonly referred to as the Tailor due to the amount of work they do on the costumes that heroes wear.

You can visit Icon at any time in your career for a makeover. They can change anything about the look of your character except the Body Type and Height you chose when you first created your character. Fees are scaled by level, so a lower level hero pays less than a higher level one for the same amount of changes. A flat fee is charged for simply accessing the Tailor. This fee covers any and all “color alterations” you want to make for your character. You can also change various parts of your costume for additional fees.

At levels 20, 30, and 40 characters can run missions for the head tailors in each of the Icon shops. These missions, when successful, will unlock additional Costume Slots, allowing you to have multiple looks at your disposal. Simply select the Slot you want to change the next time you access the Tailor once you have unlocked an additional slot.
