Character creators

This is a hand-curated collection which is part of a series of curated collections of itch.io creations for alterhumans. Character creation and character customization tools can be fun and useful for role-players and furry fans... as well as for plural systems and otherkin who want an easy way to get started making a picture they can show others of how they look in their heads. If you want to ask me to add or remove your creations from my collections, or if you have other comments, you can email me.

Content warning: Some tools for virtually dressing up dolls can show some amount of nudity. To make these tools friendlier to explore, I mark everything in this collection for whether it's suitable for all audiences.

Content: Rated PG-13 or R for coloring-book drawings of gore and some costume parts that are relatively flirty styles of underwear, clothing, or harnesses. There is no outright sexual content, and no explicit nudity. Other content warnings: monster body horror, especially with teeth and eyes in unusual locations.

Create a coloring-book drawing of a human or humanoid figure, full length to ankles. There isn't much customization for the outline of the shape of your face or body. However, the clothing selection has some clothing that it has clearly marked as making your figure look like it has a bust, or a relatively masculine figure, or a plus-size figure. You can choose any color in the rainbow for your skin, even multicolored, or with complicated patterns of colors. Some non-human parts it lets you add are fur, wings, tails, horns, pointed ears, claws, webbed hands, extra eyes, crystals growing out of your skin, and more.

Rated G. Friendly for all ages, so far as I've played, though I haven't played much.

A peaceful, wholesome game about running a cat caf茅 in a magical place where people can turn into animals. Human protagonist with a lot of unlock-able character customization options. You can use any combination of feminine, masculine, or genderless features, but it does tend toward feminine character customization options. You can control a lot about the face, hair, skin color, and body shape of this 3D, animated figure, as well as unlock and customize clothing, costumes, and accessories. You can make your character have a plus-size body shape. You can find a spell that can turn you into a cat, but it's not similarly customizable.

Rated R, 18+ for nudity. Explicit sex organs.

A stand-alone character customization tool for designing your furry persona (fursona) or a human character. You can use any combination of masculine, feminine, or genderless features on a full-length nude figure.

Rated PG-13. Dress-up options include gore, body horror, and fetish gear, but no nudity. The art style is like a coloring book, so the gore is less alarming because you can make it be colors that don't look like blood.

A character customization tool for making bust portraits of feminine humans as well as beings who don't look terribly human.

Rated G. These dolls are full-length figures without clothes, but no explicit nudity. In the screen for changing the figure's body proportions, the slider for chest size is called "booba," but that's kind of silly and it still generally feels reasonably friendly for all ages.

Furry character creator. Customize a 3D, animated figure. You can use any combination of masculine, feminine, or genderless traits. It reminds me a little bit of the villagers in Animal Crossing, but it's very much its own art style.
