Character Customization of Asda Story (08/29/2009)

Each Asda Story account gives you 3 character slots. Unlike some older games, you are allowed to choose your gender for each character.

When creating your character, you have 5 hairstyles to choose from with 3 colors each. There are several faces to choose from, each giving your character a pretty different look. Unfortunately,   compared to games where you can change your hair at any time and dye your hair any color of the rainbow, you can only change your hair through the Item Mall, which contains the 5 hairstyles you can start with plus 8 more. Once you have changed hairstyles you cannot change back again without paying Asda Story Gold. The styles are cute enough, though, that I haven't found myself changing often at all.

Unlike most games, Asda gives you several armor sets you can choose from as your starting outfit. This is a very nice feature so you don't have to start out looking like every other new player. As you level up you will start to see more armor sets available. At a point, however, armor sets start to get recycled and re-colored. There is no option to "re-skin" or color your armor like some higher-end MMOs have. This is one downside to the game if you really enjoy armor collecting. But, even without item mall gears there are at least 15 sets to mix and match from for each class, meaning hundreds of thousands of outfit possibilities!
