Instead of playing with a preconstructed deck, you can customize your character when you start a campaign. All characters together may only use one copy of NEON HOPE and all its expansions (See also: Collection). There are two different ways to customize your character:

Light Customization

Light customization is right for you if you want to keep the core concept of the character but make some targeted adjustments.

Take a character deck and make any number of the following adjustments:

• You can exchange any number of your Action cards with the [Universal] trait against other Action cards with the [Universal] trait.
• You can exchange any number of your Tools against Tools with the same trait.
• You can exchange your Ally against another Ally with the [Universal] trait. (Both Allies in solo play.)

Full Customization

Full customization is right for you if you want to experience the character in a whole new way and come up with your own deck ideas.

• Pick a character. Take their Character card and their corresponding Character Tool card.
• Select 8 Action cards. (10 in solo play.)
  • You must include 3 Action card sets (of 2 cards each).
    • 1 of your Action card sets must share both traits with your character. The other 2 sets must share at least 1 trait with your character.
  • You must include 2 Action cards with the [Universal] trait. (2 additional in solo play.)
• Select 9 cards for your tool kit. (10 in solo play.)
  • Select 8 Tools. Each Tool must share a trait with your character. You must include at least 2 Tools for each trait of your character.
  • Select 1 Ally card with the [Universal] trait. (1 additional in solo play.)

Note: When you select an Action card, you automatically select the card in all 3 levels. Start the campaign with the level 1 cards. Set the level 2 and level 3 cards aside.
