01
Coen is a fixed story protagonist
The official game page identifies Coen by name and builds the campaign around his family, disease, and transformation into a Dawnwalker. No reviewed official source announces changing his identity, body, face, or voice through a full character creator. Players should expect to shape Coen's build and decisions rather than replace him with a separate avatar.
02
Build customization spans two forms
Coen's human daytime state and vampire nighttime state support different abilities and approaches. Sword fighting overlaps both, while other powers are linked to witchcraft or vampirism. This gives the character meaningful gameplay variation even without a custom protagonist. Exact respec rules, caps, and optimal builds still need release-build testing.
03
Multiple armor types are confirmed
Rebel Wolves answered the official AMA by saying the game contains many kinds of armor. Official editions also advertise an equippable armor set. Those statements confirm equipment variety, but they do not yet provide a complete light, medium, and heavy classification, upgrade table, transmog system, or armor-location guide.
04
Helmets are not part of the launch plan
The developer AMA gives a direct answer: there are many armor types, but no helmets. A helmet list or head-slot guide would therefore be misleading unless a later patch changes that statement. Head appearance should not be inferred from decorative NPC gear or cinematic shots without confirmation that Coen can equip it.
05
Hair and beard customization is only tentative
Asked to add hair and beard options, the developers said they might be able to offer them as free DLC after launch and marked the idea to be confirmed. That is not a launch feature announcement or a promised roadmap item. The accurate current status is possible post-launch content, not confirmed availability.
06
What a launch customization guide must test
After release, verification should separate appearance, equipment, skills, and accessibility settings. The guide needs tested answers for armor slots, dyes or transmog, weapon upgrades, respec costs, cosmetic permanence, and whether later patches add grooming controls. Until then, only Coen's defined identity, build paths, armor variety, and lack of helmets are supported.
