Elden Ring lets players choose the character they want and gives them the ultimate freedom to redesign them however they want. There are a lot of options offered to the players when it comes to character creation. While there are some constraints, as with any other video game, character creation in the title lets players be as creative as they want to.

Naturally, the first thought for most gamers is to create a lookalike for their real-life selves. However, some players have gone the extra mile to show off their creativity in the virtual world.

Several exponents of this creativity have been on social media ever since Elden Ring was first released. While character creation may be the least important thing in the game, fans have still taken it to a new level.


Fans show their utmost creativity with Elden Ring's character creation

much like FromsSoftware's previous souls-like titles, the beauty of Elden Ring's character creation is the amount of options and sliders it offers. This is a testament to players spending hours with the game's character creation system, to try and get their Tarnished to match their real-life lookalikes. The created characters range across different spheres of life.


1) Kratos

In the world of gaming, Kratos is an immortal character due to how successful the God of War games have been over the years. Some players decided to bring the axe-weilding demi-god to the latest game from FromSoftware.


2) Samuel L. Jackson

Who could forget Samuel L. Jackson and his role in Pulp Fiction? If someone did forget, now they have a better way to remember the actor while playing video games.


3) Felix "xQc"

When it comes to streamers, xQc is one of the biggest names out there. One player has already created him 'accidentally' in the game. Incidentally, xQc is among several big-name streamers who play and stream Elden Ring, so this is a nice coincidence.


4) Squidward

Squidward from Spongebob Squarepants has also made his entrance into the game, in a way. Suffice to say, he looks creepier in character creation than how he appears in the cartoon.


5) Eren Yeager

Attack on Titan is one of the most popular anime in existence. One fan paid tribute to Eren Yeager from the series by recreating him in the game. Based on how it looks, one can admit that the player has done an amazing job.

6) Odin from Assassin's Creed Valhalla

One player created a character that may look like a default but gives vibes from a certain Viking-era Assassin's Creed game.


7) DrDisRespect and Anatoly Dyatlov

xQc isn't the only streamer who has been recreated in the game as one fan tried their hand at creating DrDisRespect in the game. What's eerie is the fact that the character also resembles Paul Ritter as engineer Anatoly Dyatlov from Chernobyl, as stated by another member.


8) Angelina Jolie

There are some amazing works, one of which includes an Angelina Jolie lookalike based on her appearance in Salt.


9) Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones is an iconic TV series and there's no chance that there won't be a character from there when the character creation has so much freedom. This Elden Ring creation represents Richard Dormer as the character Lord Beric Dondarrion.


10) One Piece

There have been more tributes to popular anime as players have also created Zoro from One Piece in the game.

The fun part about the entire deal is the fact that there could be even more creative designs in the days to come. Elden Ring has had a very positive reception in many ways, but character creation is one that has flown under the radar so far.
