DRAFT!!!

The Paramaker (often abbreviated to PAM) is a character creation tool that will be used to customize and create new Parafolk. The tool will allow for the player to adjust their Para's (or Paras') bodies, clothing, and identity. It is inspired by The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 's Create-a-Sim tools and The Sims 3 's Create-a-Style tool.

Body customization
The Paramaker allows the player to manipulate a Para's body shape with diagrams and traditional sliders.

Skin customization
There are three options for skin tones: a pre-defined set of skin tone swatches, a specialized color wheel for more realistic skin tones, and a general-purpose color wheel for more unrealistic skin tones (e.g. lime green). There may also be options to modify the base, highlights, shadows, and blush values of a skin tone, the latter three of which automatically adapt to the base value.

Eyes
Eye color is expected to be set using pre-made swatches; custom swatches will be able be made as well. There is also an option for heterochromia.

Sliders
Some of the sliders shown in demo videos include:


 * Head (scale)
 * Eyes (size and position)
 * Neck (size)
 * Chest (rotation, size)
 * Waist (height and width)
 * Bottom (height and depth)
 * Fat
 * Muscle

Clothing customization
Clothing will come in pre-made swatches and allow the player to create their own; there will be several pattern. Clothing also appears to be named.

Identity customization
It was revealed in 2020 that Paras would be able to have a wide variety of names; some examples include the ability to place a Para's family name before their given name—common throughout most of Asia—middle names, nicknames, or not being name at all.
