Avowed, set in the rich fantasy world of Eora (from the Pillars of Eternity series), offers a diverse range of playable races, though character customization options remain somewhat limited at launch. Here's a breakdown of the available races:

Humans (Folk)

Humans, or Folk, are the most common race in Avowed, and offer extensive customization options. Players can select from numerous presets, adjust skin tone, and choose from a variety of hairstyles and textures, providing ample choices for character creation.

Elves

Elves are another playable race, visually similar to humans but distinguished by their pointed ears and slightly different facial structures.

Godlikes

While all Envoys are Godlikes in the game's narrative, players can choose to incorporate Godlike features into their character's appearance. These features include unique hairstyles and facial options, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, 14 distinct facial features and 4 hairstyles are available for Godlikes, regardless of chosen race or body type.

Character Customization: Gender and Pronouns

Avowed offers four body types: two masculine and two feminine. Players can select a masculine or feminine voice (two options each) and choose their character's pronouns (he, she, or they).

Unplayable Races

While Avowed features several other races within its world (Dwarves, Aumaua, Orlans), these are currently not playable options in the character creator. However, future updates or DLC may introduce additional playable races.
