Character customization
Origins
Unlike other MMOs Defiance does not have strict classes, instead allowing players to choose an "origin". Origins do not limit what abilities, weapons or outfits the players can choose. The four origins are Veterans, Outlaws, Machinists, and Survivalists.
Physical appearance
Players can have a great deal of control over their physical appearance including hair, gender, facial features, clothing and tattoos. Players can choose to be either a Human or an "Irathient" (a humanoid alien species who are similar to humans).
Abilities
The Ark Hunters are injected with an EGO (Environmental Guardian Online), a symbiotic, neuro-muscular bionetic implant developed by Von Bach Industries, which helps players navigate the Bay Area and gives them access to unique abilities.
Arkfall Codes
Trion introduced a new rewards system called "Arkfall Codes".Players use these 6-digit Arkfall Codes to unlock special bonuses and customization for their characters such as extra inventory slots, titles, and perks. These codes are hidden in various media such as official blogs and videos. As of May 1, 2013, there are 15 free gifts, available to all characters created on that account.
Synopsis
Setting
The game takes place in the San Francisco Bay Area, following a devastating war between Earth and a loose alliance of extraterrestrial races known as Votans. The Votans came to Earth seeking a new home after the destruction of their solar system, unaware that the planet was already inhabited. Friction between the new arrivals and Humanity led to war, during which terraforming technology was unleashed. The Earth's surface was drastically altered as a result, introducing radical changes in topography, the extinction of plant and animal species and the emergence of new species. Afterward, Humans and Votans were forced to live together. Player characters are enlisted as "Ark Hunters" by industrialist Karl Von Bach to search the Bay Area for advanced and expensive alien technology. Players also take part in side missions to earn cash, or challenges in which they compete with other Ark Hunters.
