AION 2 Character Creation, Appearance Vouchers and Makeover Events
AION 2's character editor goes deep. NC says it offers more than 200 customization options. This page covers what the editor lets you change, every way NC lists for changing your look after creation, and the two community events built around character looks.
TL;DR
- The editor has five tabs: Preset, Face, Hair, Style and Body Shape, plus a Style Shop button and Manage Appearance.
- More than 200 customization options, according to NC.
- Changing your look later takes an Appearance Change Voucher (26,000 Mileage, up to 2 per character). A Name Change Voucher costs 22,000 Mileage, also up to 2 per character.
- Level 10: NC's September 18 hotfix notes say characters below level 10 can no longer use appearance change tickets.
- Free vouchers have come from Early Access queue compensation, the Ultimate Founder's Pack and a Twitch Drop.
- Two appearance events: Daeva Makeover and Beauty of Atreia. Dates are in the table below.
The customization screen
When you create a character, the Customization screen splits into tabs along the top: Preset, Face, Hair, Style and Body Shape. The top left has a Style Shop button, and Manage Appearance sits at the bottom left.
The Face tab opens with a grid of face presets. NC's Team Update describes the editor as offering "more than 200 customization options."
NC also published a short video that shows only the customization screen.
Changing your look after creation
| Item | How you get it | NC's limits and notes |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance Change Voucher | 26,000 Mileage | Up to 2 per character |
| Name Change Voucher | 22,000 Mileage | Up to 2 per character |
| Appearance Change Voucher ×1 | Early Access queue compensation from NC | Given to make up for Early Access queue times |
| Customization Voucher ×1 + Appearance Change Voucher (7 Days) ×1 | Inside the Daeva's Styling Chest (Ultimate Founder's Pack) | Bound |
| Customization Voucher | Twitch Drops, Early Access window (30 minutes watched) | Early Access window only (Sep 30 – Oct 4) |
Level note: NC's September 18 hotfix notes say characters below level 10 can no longer use appearance change tickets. If a ticket won't work on a new character, that's the likely reason.
For more on the Founder's items and the current Twitch Drops, see the Founder's Pack guide and its Twitch Drops section.
Closet and dyes
Outfits you collect live in the Closet. It has Equip, Closet Shop and Storage tabs, sorted into Armor, Weapons and Decoration. NC says the cosmetics "can be further customized by an intricate dye system."
One caveat from NC's skin notice: skins can look different from how they appear on the customization screen, depending on your device settings and the in-game lighting.
Wing skins are covered in the wings guide.

NC's event notice says entries include your region, server and character. Check the Community Launch Events Overview for the full rules and rewards before you post.
"Character creation restricted"?
NC's notices don't explain this message. What NC does say to players waiting in a queue or joining now is to "please consider creating your character on a recommended server" (Information on Server Transfer). Its new-server notices add: "We encourage players to join new servers as they become available" (example notice). NC also says server transfers will be available starting on October 14th, within the same faction.
The regions and current server pairs are in our server overview.

The only related line we found is in the notes for the new outfit sets in NC's New Skin Items Info notice (note 4): "The skin design varies depending on the gender of the character wearing it; if the character’s gender is changed, the skin corresponding to the new gender will be applied." That note covers those outfit sets only. Check the creation screen in game.
