It’s not ideal, and you need an item known as a Chrysalis Token to start the process of turning your character from what you have into what you want, but if you are too far into the game and don’t want to restart from scratch, the only way to change your character is through this method.

To get a Chrysalis Token in Once Human, press the Esc key to open the main settings menu and enter the shop.

From there, click the Other option, and a Chrysalis Token is available for 480 Crystgin, which costs around $7-8 to get a single one. There is no way to get a Chrysalis Token other than buying it with real money.

To use the Chrysalis Token to change your appearance, construct a Floor Mirror in your territory.

You don’t need to unlock it, as the mirror is already available. Press B on the keyboard to open the build menu, go to the Furniture tab, Furnishing Items, and select the Floor Mirror. You need 20 logs and 10 Glass to make it.

So long as you have your token in your inventory, you can re-access the character creator and change your character’s appearance with the mirror. It’s a one-time-use item, so make sure you pick out what you want this time, or you’ll need to fork over more cash. If only deleting your character was so easy.
