Avowed, set in the expansive Eora world from the Pillars of Eternity series, offers a diverse range of Kith races, though character creation options are somewhat limited at launch. Here's a breakdown of the playable races:

Humans (Folk)

Humans, or Folk, are the most common race in Avowed and offer extensive customization. A wide array of presets, detailed facial features, skin tones, and hairstyles are available, providing ample options for player representation.

Elves

Elves are another playable race, visually similar to humans but distinguished by their pointed ears and slightly different facial structures.

Godlikes

While all Envoys are Godlikes in the game's narrative, players can choose to incorporate Godlike features into their character. These features include unique hair and facial options, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, 14 distinct facial and four hair options are available, regardless of chosen race or body type.

Character Customization: Gender and Pronouns

Avowed provides four body types: two masculine and two feminine, available for both Humans and Elves. Two masculine and two feminine voice options are also available. Players can select their character's identifier, choosing between "he," "she," or "they" pronouns.

Unplayable Races

While Avowed features various Kith races in its non-player characters (NPCs), including Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans, these are currently not playable races in the character creator. However, future updates or DLC may expand these options.
