Character

Your character is your avatar in Amakna, the world of Dofus. You can customize your character in a few ways.

Class
There are twelve different classes, each dedicated to one of the gods of Dofus. Which class a character has determines characteristic progressions, which class spells they learn, and more.

For more information, see the article on

Gender
Select your character's sex by selecting the male or female sign on the right-hand side of the screen. Sex does not have any effect on your character in combat except for the appearance of the sprite. Gender no longer affects marriage.

Note: The beginner swords for Ecaflips are still based on the characters gender.

Character colors
On the "Customize" screen, you can select three colors for your character, which affect how your character's sprite will appear on the map and combat screens. This does not have any effect on your character except for the appearance. (Please note: Your colours cannot be changed, so choose carefully!)

Character name
Select a name for your character. The name must consist solely of letters and hyphens. It cannot contain numbers, spaces or symbols. It also cannot conflict with an existing character on that server.

Note: The 1.18 update has put certain restrictions on name creation. A name generator has been added to help create names in accordance with the new rules.
