Character

Wild West Online offers players the ability to make small customisations to their playable character, and currently offers 4 character slots.

In Alpha, the player is limited to creating only male characters, with 2 hairstyle options and 5 face options. There is a skintone slider to adjust the colour of the character's skin.

Clothing can be purchased via the clothing shops in game. Players who have purchased the "Pioneer" or "Collector" versions of the game are also given clothing "Garment bags" which each contain 1 random item of clothing.

Once a character has been selected, information on that character is displayed on the following screen. This screen shows the XP level, negative reputation (red), positive reputation (gold) and current health status (bleeding, drunk, ill and poisoned).
