After you succesfully signed up on the EntropiaUniverse website, and confirmed your account, it's time to download the client. This might take a while, considering the size of the full client.
This guide is illustrating the avatar creation process in [[Entropia Universe]].


Once the client software finished updating completely, you will be presented with a screen stating that during the spacetrip to Planet Calypso your ship was attacked and destroyed by robots, as happens so often. Not to worry, though. The Calypso government has set up a body of brave deep-space rescue specialists that actively goes after the robot foes and tries to save the DNA of anyone attacked by them. You're one of the lucky few, as many souls never were succesfully rescued in such fashion.
Most important: Take your time when creating your avatar. Once you have finished and left avatar creation mode you quite likely will not be able to change the visual appearance of your avatar without spending money.


[[File:Entropiaaccountcreation001.jpg‎]]
Please also note: The clothes in the avatar creation mode are just showcases, you will arrive in [[Entropia Universe]] with very basic clothes depending on the [[Choosing a Planet to start on|planet you choose to start on]].


You will now be taken to a screen where you can start recreating a representation of yourself, called an "avatar". To do this, there's a plethora of options available to you. This tutorial is meant to guide you through the process. Keep in mind that after you are satisfied with the way your avatar looks, you will not be able to recreate or alter it in any way, other than when you use the (paid) services of trained specialists.


On the left of the screen, you will see the tool you will be using to shape, color, and personalize your avatar. Let's take a bit of a closer look at it, and look at the different components the tool is made up out of:
The best overview is probably to get from this official video (more videos in the [[Creating_your_avatar#Media|media section]] further below):
{{Youtube|qxSJe8UhN9c|big}}


In section 1, you will see three buttons, allowing you to select a main part of your avatar to work on. At the time of writing this tutorial, there are buttons for the body, the face, and the hair. Switching between buttons will bring up different icons in section 2 that will allow you to fine-tune specific features of the selected bodysection for complete finetuning. We will take a more detailed look at this in a minute. The buttons in section 3 will allow you to quickly switch between the different features.


You influence the looks of the features by using the control in section 4. It basically acts like a small joystick that you can move around the area. As you move it, you can immediately see the effect of the different settings on the avatar. Note that for some features, you can only move the bar from left to right, rather than 360 degrees around.
==Avatar creation==
The avatar creation process itself is pretty self-explanatory. Once started you can choose from a number of male or female avatar appearance presets ([[Creating_your_avatar#Avatar_appearance_presets|see further below: Avatar appearance presets]]) and a number of male and female hairstyles as well as male beard styles ([[Creating_your_avatar#Avatar_hairstyles_and_beardstyles|see further below: Avatar hairstyles and beardstyles]].


For those who are impatient to get started, there's the buttons in section 5. The left-most button allows you to randomize the entire section of the avatar, while the right-most button will randomize whichever feature you currently have selected. For certain features, section 6 will contain a slidebar that can be used for further customization.
====Body, face, hair and colors menus====
There are several menus and submenus for manipulating the avatar's body, face, hair and colors:

Section 7 allows for switching between male and female avatars, while the reset button will undo your work, and take you back to the original. This option works on a per-feature basis.
====Clothes and make-up previews====
There's are previews available to visualize the avatar's appearance with a potential set of armor, clothes and make-up. '''PLEASE NOTE: These are just visualizing previews, you will not get the items or make-up mask you can see there!'''

Finally, Section 8 will let you see your avatar dressed in either just underwear, casual wear, battle armour, or formal clothing. Note that regardless of which setting you pick, after you press "Accept", you will be
====Finishing avatar creation====
Before finishing the avatar creation process make sure you are satified with your avatar. Once you've finished your avatar creation process you will quite likely not be able to change the visual appearance of your avatar without spending money. Avatar customization is a common service other players offer for money.
 
The appearance of your avatar in game might not match what it looked like in the avatar creation area. If you think the differences are too big you might want to [[Filing a support case|File a support case]].
