Editing Customization

[[File:Customization.jpg|thumb|300px|The Character Customization menu.]]

==Overview==
One of the key features of [[Brink]] is the level of character '''customization''' possible. There are exactly ''102,247,681,536,000,000'' possible character variations; this includes all sub-options such as clothing colors, voice packs and Body Type. With the [[Agents of Change]] [[DLC]], there are even more variations possible.

Most customization options are locked by default and must be unlocked by levelling up. The only factor which affects player statistics is the selected Body Type, all other options are purely aesthetic. Players will be able to create up to 10 characters, each character has both a [[Security]] and [[Resistance]] appearance.

To see a list of clothes go to [[Appearance]].

Note, there is a glitch when you reset your abilites and lose a level. You will still be equipped with the clothing from before, even if it has been locked again.

==The Character Customization Menu==
There have been three character customization menus seen so far.

The earliest one, as seen in the earliest Brink videos, used a little hand-held touch device like the one the Operatives use and the background is a dynamic Container City theme.

A new and improved version was revealed at E3 2010. It has a fixed white background and a circular menu that kind of looks like a large objective wheel.

The latest variation of the Character Customization menu, shown in trailers such as A Choir of Guns and A Matter of Class, is not much different from the E3 2010 version. This one replaces the circular menu with a translucent black sidebar, and all customization choices are simply listed.<br />
