Avatars

Your Character
When you first start the game God Eater, you are given the opportunity to create your own character anyway you want. You can start out with various different clothing, hairstyles and more. Be aware though that none of this will affect your overall performance during gameplay, and the whole character creation is entirely cosmetic.

Customization
You can choose several options when making your character. Once your done making your character, don't be afraid to go back and double check everything. Only a few things can be changed once your character is made. And even though there is an option to remake your character almost entirely via Import Save Data, it isn't recommended.
 * Name: Your name, which will show up on your Avatar Card and in NPC conversations. This cannot be changed in game so pick your name wisely.
 * Code Name: The name that will show up during missions, this can be the same as your name if you wish. Also permanent.
 * Gender: Choose between male and female, neither has any advantage over the other and only changes the clothing and hairstyles you can wear.
 * Hairstyle: This allows you to change your hairstyle and can be changed anytime in game.
 * Hair Color: The colour of your hair, which can be changed as well in game anytime.
 * Face: The structure of your face, which will be permanent throughout the game.
 * Skintone: The colour of your skin, also permanent.
 * Voice: What your character will say and the tone he will say it in (mostly heard during missions though, extremely rarely during cutscenes). Choose carefully since there are many options in this category, and it is a permanent choice.
 * Clothing: The clothing for your character, this really isn't much of a big deal as all the options you can choose are obtainable later on (and much more) so don't fuss over this category too much.

Avatar Card
Once you start playing the game, you will have your own Avatar Card. This card contains multiple pieces of information about your character (e.g. Aragami fought, gun and sword usage.) The card can't be customized and doesn't change its layout at any point of the game so don't worry about the look of it too much. You can access your Avatar Card by pressing the START button while in the Den and clicking on Avatar Card.

Your Avatar Card has six pages.
 * Profile
 * Den Log
 * Battle Log
 * Mission Log
 * Aragami Log
 * Members Log

Profile
The Profile is the main page of your Avatar Card and contains information about your character and equipment.

On the top of the page is your Code Name, Name, and Class. Your Name and Code Name are inputted on your card for the rest of the game while your class name is changeable via the Control Unit you have.

In the middle of the page is a list of equipment. It shows the Gun, Sword, Shield, Control Unit, Upgrades and Clothing that you have currently equipped to yourself, as well as the Element and Damage ratios to your weapons.

Next to the equipment list are the two bullets you have currently equipped for your gun.

On the very left is your Character, in a pose with his/her God Arc that you have equipped.

On the bottom are messages about your character. These can be changed in any way to match your style.

Den Log
This page shows recent gameplay history that you have done, such as Equipment made and upgraded, Missions cleared (including rank rewarded, members accompanied, Aragami hunted and Aragami parts unbound if applicable.) The information is marked on the specific date you have completed it on.

Note: Some information can be "pushed off" the list when newer data comes in, meaning that not everything is going to be recorded and saved onto the Den Log.

Battle Log
The Battle Log records the number of times you have completed a mission a certain class of equipment (e.g. how many times you've completed a quest with a Tower Shield). It shows all nine types of equipment separated into three sections (Gun, Sword and Shield.)

Lower on the screen shows how many times you have Devoured, given and taken Link Bursts, and how many times you revived teammates with Link Aid.

Below that is Hit Rate, which shows the ratio of reaction types dealt to an aragami, from Critical (white), Great (red), Good (green) to Okay (sparks).

On the bottom is Gun/Blade Usage Rate and Gun/Blade Overall Damage Rate. Both show each ratio described by two bars, with the bigger bar being the greater equivalent.

Rebirthing
This will allow you to start the game from the beginning and can be done through Main Menu/Import Save Data.

Advantages

 * Able to change gender and looks.
 * Able to change name.

(Note: alternatively you can do this with a hex editor).
 * Able to read missed NPC conversations


 * All items and equips are kept if Transfer All option is used.


 * Avatar cards and Mission records are intact.
 * Able to play with low ranked players in multiplayer.

Disadvantages

 * Unable to change code name, which is displayed in missions.
 * All story progression related stuff will revert to the beginning.


 * Equip craft list reverted to rank 1.


 * Looks/Clothes will be reverted to rank 1.


 * Only able to equip rank 1 equipment, higher rank equips will be locked until you reach the rank.

Will have to view the entries again to clear "New" status. Thus you cannot rebirth and instantly view the part where your character speaks.
 * All entries in Norm and Room Terminal reverted to rank 1.


 * Hairstyles reverted to rank 1.


 * Clear tick on missions will be gone.
 * Unable to play higher ranked missions offline/multiplayer as they would be locked again.

Thus, rebirthing is not recommended unless one is desperate to change looks.
