Am the only one crazy enough to build a character...run through a couple of the tutorials...then decide I don't like something about it...wipe it...start over...and then repeat the process again...and again...and again?
The logical part of my brain says stop, it doesn't matter. Just move forward. But nooo, I can't listen to it.
This one I think may make it.....for a while at least.
But the others...yeah, they are already on the chopping block. |

That's you. Make sure to biomass yourself and post in your new alt.
Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

I've redone a couple characters immediately after creating them, but only because I didn't like their names or their faces after all. But with the face re-customization that CCP added a while ago, it's no longer necessary.
Keep in mind that you'll never have a perfect or pristine character. Someone should put a bounty on you to prove that point. But in any case, you may lose sec standing due to a mistake, you may get bounties, say the wrong thing on the forums and be ridiculed, who knows. It's better to treat your character like you (should) treat your ships - just a means for you to get fun out of this game... ultimately just a tool for achieving enjoyment.
A lot of people have just one account with one character, but a lot of people have 3-4 accounts with 4-8-12 characters. The overall average for the entire playerbase is slightly under 2. |

Well, this was my first character. I fudged up its name by not making it capital and I just used a random second name. Unfortunately there is no way to change and I have invested way too much time in this character to reroll.
In a way, I love this character now with all its imperfections. Like on real life, you have to be stuck with some your life decisions. So it has that charm to me now. If that makes any sense. |

I've spent nearly no time creating any of my characters and never felt a need to reroll. The only one regret I ever had was naming this character something that no one can pronounce. I never thought it would matter on a forum but I guess people speak in their heads when they read.
Anyway I guess we're all different. As my grandmother says "to each his own". So what ever floats your boat. Play your game your way, have fun and fly it like you stole it from your ex-wife.

Yeah, it's been the names that bugged me the most...appearances I've been fine with. |

You could always play EVE as a permadeath non capsule pilot and wipe your character any time it dies. |

That might actually be interesting to try with an alt slot. |

I believe capitalization is the only form of name alteration they'll allow, at least so I'm told by a friend who petitioned to have his capitalization corrected and was granted it.

Absolutely. Style is crucial, and if you want to take the time and trouble to look and feel great, you go for it. Made a stupid mistake? Lost a shiny ship? Got podded? Go to the mirror, style your hair, fix your makeup, chase away the blues.

Nothing says "you're all puny poor plebs" better than an arrogant looking True Amarr with a monocle. I've grown attached to him to a point where I'm half inclined to actually keep him. |

I must admit to keeping one of my alt slots free for the sole purpose of mucking around with the character creator; this one took 30 minutes to create and then another 60 minutes playing around until I got the "WTF did I just see?" expression right.

But OP, how can you settle for this character you're using? I mean, there are like three hairs completely out of place!
You'll have to start again!!

Well I'll see your "WTF did I just see?" expression and raise you a "go ahead, make my day" expression.
OP portrait expression looks a little curious

Her hair is ok, but she's got her body facing one way and her head turned the other way, with no eye movement. Typically if you're walking to the left and looking to the right, you'd turn your head a little bit, and turn your eyes more, because eyes are easier to move than the head. Portrait looks artificial because of that.

I've been known to delete characters in "that MMO which shall not be named" JUST because I didn't like the hair colour after all.... at lvl 40.

I don't mess around with it at all since I don't care much about how my characters look but I'm pretty sure that you can redo your portrait at any point and as often as you want.
I also am under the impression that you can change things like hair and makeup as often as you like as well. I think that the only stuff that you are stuck with is things like skin color and all the basic body and facial feature setup. Essentially things that could not be changed IRL without surgery.
Maybe someone who knows more about this or has at least tried it can correct or expand on this. |

Yes, you can redo your portrait at any time by clicking the Character Customization button in the station services at any station.
If you have a full body re-customization available, the game will ask you, do you want to do full body or just the face, so click No for just the face. The full body allows you to change your weight and skin color, and there's only one full body re-do available at character creation, with more available if you buy from the NEX store or in-game market.
You can redo your face (which includes picking different clothing, actually, as well as changing your pose, expression, background, lighting, and makeup) as many times as you want.
If you make a change, your portrait will change in-game immediately, but the forum portrait may take a couple days to be updated. The forums refresh their portrait databases every few days or so. |
