# Appearance Baseline

Choose the cast baseline you intend where appearance is unspecified. Balanced diverse cast supplies a broad mix; the light, medium and dark options supply a predominant baseline. Explicit evidence only avoids supplying a broad appearance preference. Custom mix is a listed choice, but this screen has no controls for entering proportions. This choice does not rewrite established character descriptions.
