In Maple Story, players will be able to create characters that will
grow as they learn new skills and become stronger. There are four
characters to choose from: Warriors, Bowmen, Magician, or Thief. These
characters can be dressed in many different and colorful outfits.
Personalizing characters is one of the goals of Maple Story. Once a
character has been created, they will learn skills that will help them
when they reach Victoria Island.
