Создание персонажа в Mount & Blade состоит из трех этапов: генерация предыстории, распределение характеристик и создание портрета главного героя. Как и во многих других играх с подобными системами, в двух последних этапах все просто и легко доступно. Кроме того, подробнее узнать о характеристиках главного героя можно в §1.1 Характеристики. Остановимся только лишь на первом этапе.

Начиная с версии 0.950, в игре появилась развитая система генерации персонажа. Она состоит из четырех экранов, на каждом из котором по очереди надо выбрать один из несокльких вариантов, и влияет на стартовые характеристики персонажа. В каждом этапе можно сделать один выбор из нескольких доступных вариантов.
