As an aside:  I have no customisation of new characters.  They are all
created identically and given identical nondescript humanoid bodies. 
Everything about the bodies is nondescript as well:  they look as if they
were fairly rapidly and loosely thrown together from gray clay, are not
very strong or remarkable in any stat or attribute, and don't live very
long,  It is then up to the new characters to go steal bodies more to
their liking.

Action while in the game customises a character and its presentation
(bodies), not some pre-selection prior to the game.
