Creating a character is at the heart of every RPG: Perfecting every minute detail for your would-be hero before you spend the next 200 hours journeying across distant lands and taking on ungodly monsters is what it’s all about.

And that’s no different with Dragon’s Dogma 2.

The new role-playing game from Capcom takes place in the lands of Vermund and Batthal, where the two kingdoms are at war with one another.

While getting caught up in the politics of it all, the main role of the character – known as the Arisen – is to defeat the dragon that marked them upon death.

This is a massive game, likely to lose you many hours of sleep – for better or worse. And it all begins with your character, something that will equally take some time to sort if you like to tinker with everything open to your protagonist.

Think body type, race, voice, vocation, age and plenty more finite details to fine-tune however you want.

Well, now that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is available and Capcom generously made the character creator accessible ahead of launch, we’ve rounded up all of the options that can be calibrated and some of the best fan creations the web has to offer.
