Races are available character models to the players in Destiny. Each one can be customized and these differences are cosmetic and have no effect on gameplay or player abilities.
You can choose 3 playable Guardian races featured in the game:
-
Human
The humans, in appearance are pretty much as expected. A variety of hair styles, colors, skin tones, face paint/tattoos help the player customize their character.
-
Awoken
Awoken appear as human like but offer a smaller variety of skin tones. Grays and blues are the main color choices for an Awoken. Most other style options are very similar to human.
-
Exo
Exo appear as robotic humanoids and as stated above, are still able to be either gender. In lieu of hair styles and tattoos, they have access to an array of mechanical attachments such as spike and plates as well as paint (like stripes, numbers or patters). Their metal faces can be customized with some of the brightest colors allowed during character creation.
