# Character Identity

Gives players the freedom to choose from a variety of genders and races. Because it’s driven by **enums**, expanding the system with new options is both simple and straightforward.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When adding new options, it is recommended to order your enums starting with your **default character**.

For example, If your **default starting character** is a **White Human Male**, ensure that "**Male**" and "**Human White**" are at the top of their respective enum lists.
{% endhint %}

#### Adding New Genders

To add new genders:

1. Open the **E\_CharacterGender** enum, found in **Data/Enums**.
2. Click the **Add Enumerator** button.
3. Enter a display name for the new gender.

Once you have defined new entries in these enums, they will automatically become available for use in [Character Presets](/products/character-presets.md).
