Like most video games these days, you are able to personally deck out how your character looks Fortnite. Actually, based upon how many options one has to customize their characters with, they are encouraged to do this very thing! By choosing exactly how you would like your avatar to look and exactly what you would like them to wear, you can personally customize their appearance to give your Missions and Battle Royales a little more life, authenticity and individuality. And let's forget that other players will actually be able to see what your characters looks like while playing the game!
Even though you can only choose a standard avatar and thus can't alter most things that have to do with your character's body - like hair length and color - there are still a number of different ways you can customize your avatar. For one, you are allowed to change the skin tone of your character, one of the few body modifications you can make with them. From there, you can personally choose what articles of clothing or skins you would like your avatar to adorn, most of which you can purchase from the shop. (You can even get a refund of V-Bucks for up to three cosmetic items that were recently purchased, done so by viewing your Purchase History in the Item Shop.)
Even though it is far from necessary to alter you character in any given way, it's still a great option to have for those who like to do so. Plus, Custom Match Making can even put restrictions on what your character must be wearing in order to participate. Not to mention, this is a growing theme in video games these days. Character Customizations not only allows you to put your personally touch on your avatar in Fortnite, but it also lets you express your creativity to others while playing the game.
