CHARACTER APPEARANCE
AION2 Character Creation: presets, customization & Style Shop
AION2 Character Creation includes detailed customization, ready-made appearance presets, and an official Style Shop. Separate those official features from community submissions before using shared values, because the sources do not establish universal compatibility.

Customization features confirmed by NC
NC's November 17, 2025 announcement says AION2 supports more than 200 customization items, including detailed control of body shape, skin, iris, and musculature. It also says multiple ready-made appearance presets are provided for players less familiar with character creation. The official site now exposes a Style Shop page.
That supports the existence of detailed creation tools and an official browsing surface. It does not turn every community parameter sheet into an NC-reviewed preset, so author, date, character conditions, and build should remain attached to a submission.
What to verify before importing or recreating
The audited official text does not promise that every preset crosses race, sex, server region, or future-version boundaries. It also does not document a universal third-party file format. A screenshot alone cannot prove a claimed one-click import or global-build compatibility.
- Start from the official Style Shop or in-game interface; do not run an unknown executable for a face preset.
- Record race, sex, regional build, and publication date before matching values.
- Obtain permission and retain creator credit when republishing a community appearance.
Safely preserve and rebuild an AION2 character preset
Save front, side, and key-slider screens together with the client build, faction or race, gender, and preset source. If direct import is unavailable, that record still lets you rebuild the appearance inside the same version.
A community “preset” should not require an executable, disabled protection, or account credentials. Appearance screenshots and parameters do not need an NC password; use only the file format and import surface actually exposed by the current client.
- Keep multiple angles and key sliders, not only a finished portrait.
- Record the build, race, gender, and original source.
- Do not run an unknown converter, script, or installer.
What the Style Shop page does and does not confirm
The official Style Shop page confirms an official appearance showcase or related entry. It does not automatically prove that every older preset works across regions, races, or client builds.
Before applying anything, check the current page region plus the character, price, and use-limit details shown in the client. When the web page and client differ, follow the current game interface and later notice rather than treating a community example as a permanent rule.
