Players in a desert, with different styles applied.

Two players holding different items.
The player is the character that users control in-game. Each player has an avatar which is the customizable character which represents players in-game. Players have 100 health points, and lose health when taking damage.[1]
Character creator[]
The player's appearance can be customized using the character creator, where different aspects of the player can be edited and different themed styles can be applied.
Model[]
The player model can be customized,[2] allowing the player to take the form of any NPC in-game,[3] also known as "morphing". Players can also create their own models for the avatar to display in-game.
The head of the player model is tilted very slightly five degrees upwards by default due to the fact that users tend to look slightly down while playing video games.[4] This only affects how other players see the avatar and does not change the camera angle.[5]
Layers[]
Different clothing items are worn on different layers; armor will appear on top of all clothes.[6]
Expressions[]
The player's avatar can have different facial expressions and perform emotes. Some expressions are activated during gameplay, like gritting teeth when pulling out a sword, but others can be customized and triggered manually.[6]

This means you tend to walk around with your head tilted down in video games.
In Hytale we manually readjust the head to be about 5 or so degrees up to solve this" – @Noxywoxy on Twitter, 2 May 2020 - ↑ "Its adjusted from the 3rd parties perspective :P." – @Noxywoxy on Twitter, 2 May 2020
