Aion is a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) by NCsoft. The game is both PvE and PvP and features the unique ability to fly with wings early on.

Players begin the game as human inhabitants of their chosen world, Elysea or Asmodae, who are basic mercenaries/raiders, given small tasks to accomplish. Through completing these tasks increasing in magnitude, preventing the Balaur from being summoned to the beginning zone, they "ascend" as winged, immortal Daevas. Players then travel their respective capital cities to begin their new lives as holy servants of their respective people. The story and tone of the game differ between the worlds, as do the landscapes and characters one encounters; however the basic linear progression is the same.

There is a lot of character customization when creating your character. The player can choose their character's height, weight and scale of various body parts. The player can also choose hair style, skin tone, facial textures and voices can be chosen as well as eye shape and color, nose shape, ear size and shape and tattoos for the character's face and body.

The player's equipment can be dyed to change its color and to change the graphics of one weapon or armor to that of another that they have in their inventory. This allows a player to display equipment graphics of items which they find visually appealing, while benefiting from the actual stats of different weapons or armors thus allowing players to control the look of their avatar without sacrificing the better stats of an item that they find visually unappealing.http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/gc-2007-aion-in-game-presentation/99270.html
