Netmarble answered this one among its 10 most asked community questions and showed the screen in a 4K video. The counts below come from that video, so a patch can change them in game.

Can you play a female character in VAMPIR?

Yes, in all 5 classes. The trailers show Viper as a man and Carnage and Grim Reaper as women, but that’s only marketing: you can roll a female Viper or a male Carnage. Eye color, hair, body type and facial details are the same across classes.

You switch gender with the icon at the bottom of the creation screen. Check the best class guide before you pick; looks don’t affect your class.

Short answer

You can make any VAMPIR class male or female; there are no gender locks. Character creation has presets, hair, face, eyes, skin tone, a voice type and 7 body sliders from height down to hips.

VAMPIR body sliders: height, chest, waist, hips

The Body menu has a slider for each of these: Body Type, Height, Head, Chest, Waist, Hip and Lower Body. Undo, Retry and Reset sit at the top right, so a bad tweak doesn’t mean starting over.

Does your look change in game? Bloodshapes and costumes

It does. Equipping a Bloodshape changes how your character looks. Separately from the one you use, you can set any Bloodshape you own as your appearance; its stats don’t apply, though some special appearances add stats. Mounts work the same way.

Seasonal costumes aren’t gacha: you buy them directly in the shop during their sale and can wear them right away. Netmarble’s guide doesn’t cover re-editing your face later, so take your time on the first setup.

FAQ

Which gender is the pre-registration portrait?
The gender of the character you claim it on, so claim it on your main.
Can I make a second character of another gender?
Yes. Stash, collections, Bloodshapes and mounts are shared only between characters on the same server.
