With the LoN Custom Avatar creator you can make an avatar more to your liking. The 'create avatar' screen asks questions, and the path you choose determines your avatars card details.
Below are the special abilities for each path. Note that there are other choices as well, but those only change your stats.
And finally, some of these abilities are more powerful than others, and if you choose that path, you don't get as much on the stats side.
