If, at any time you wish to alter any of those things, you will be forced to create a new character. However, all the rest of character creation - from alignment to gender and portrait to model appearance - can be changed at will in the game or on our websites.

== Alignment ==
<div class="sf-panel">
You're not restricted to a specific alignment for your character, regardless of your classes. You can also pick any class regardless of your alignment, allowing you to play a Paladin/Blackguard if you so wish. Certain classes - ones that would normally have alignment restrictions - will push you towards specific alignments. This means that you may roleplay a good character who has taken Assassin or Blackguard levels, and they will mechanically be evil and thus susceptible to the Smite Evil feat of a Paladin. For information about which classes will adjust your alignment, and if you wish to know what alignment your build may get, see [https://nwn.sinfar.net/p_classesalign.php this page].
You can browse in-game characters, full-sized portraits, and public character biographies through the Sinfar website.


To change your preferred alignment, you must go to the Vichan NPC accessible in all OOC rooms (accessible with the !OOC command).

== Model Appearance ==
Model appearance, including gender, can be changed from any Body Model in the game. These can be found in the OOC rooms (accessible with the !OOC command) as well as through the ''Teleport'' menu in your player tool menu. They're also added to many private and public houses in game, where changes can be done at least semi in character. The body model will, additionally, allow adding or changing wings, tails, heads, body parts and colours, which can be done for all parts together or each individually, as well as custom shadows and shading for each part.
