Although the world ofย Starfieldย has a seemingly endless amount of content to explore, itโ€™s easy to get lost in the gameโ€™s depth as early as theย character creator screen. Creating your character provides you with a deep and complex system. This allows players to create virtually whatever their heart desires. Making pop culture icons, memes, and cartoon characters toย roam the starsย are all great choices to start your adventures. Though it may take a while to master, trying out some of theseย Starfieldย character customizations yourself may be a fun distraction from your usual sci-fi hijinx.

Tony Soprano

It didnโ€™t take long for players to start modelingย Starfieldย characters after television protagonists. Soon afterย Starfieldโ€™sย release,ย ashdaddy10ย posted their Tony Soprano build. Besides looking exactly likeย Theย Sopranosย character, this build also included theย Gangster background, as well as the Hero Worshipped, Wanted, and Kid Stuff traits as the cherry on top.

Todd Howard

Todd Howard is a great way to pay tribute to the developer and lead of Starfield.

Oneย Starfieldย character creation that players can find all over social media is none other thanย Todd Howardย himself. Many players have made their own versions of the Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer to explore the far reaches of space with. A strong example of Todd inย Starfieldย comes from Reddit userย CheesyWhales. Based on the sheer number of players who have created Todd Howard inย Starfield,ย it should be fairly easy to find the customization sliders online.ย 

Keanu Reeves

Due to his performance inย Cyberpunkย and iconic status in the industry, it was only a matter of time before Keanu Reeves was recreated inย Starfieldโ€™sย character creation tool. On YouTube, iOpenWorld goes through the process of creating the actor right in the game. By checking outย this video, players should have an easy time creating Keanu Reeves inย Starfieldย as well.

Willem Defoe

Willem Defoe is an excellent actor and Starfield character.

Another iconic actor that players have created inย Starfieldย is Willem Defoe. After his appearances inย Spider-Manย as the Green Goblin, Willem Defoe has become a bit of a meme. This has led to his massive popularity in nerd culture, piggybacking off of his already sizable acting following. Userย Crohnos_ย shares their recreation of the actor inย Starfieldโ€™sย character creator and the sliders to make it below in the comments.

Lord Farquaad

Lord Farquaad makes for a hilarious character in Starfield.

Moving more towards some sillier characters, we have Lord Farquaad from the movieย Shrek.ย This design revolves greatly around the characterโ€™s distinct hair and chin since it would be impossible to recreate his iconic height without mods.ย SBVGS Podcastย shows a great example of Farquaad inย Starfieldย and how uncanny the character can look with a more realistic design.

Shrek

This is one of the closest things we have to Shrek.

Following the antagonist, we have the protagonist of the movie himself, Shrek. While itโ€™s nearly impossible to capture an ogre perfectly inย Starfieldโ€™sย character creator,ย Bimbocsavarย has tried their best. Though it doesnโ€™t look too much like Shrek, the green skin and ogre-like appearance are bound to cause a laugh or two in your playthrough. Plus, the design is simple enough that you could easily replicate it at home.

Ripely

Ripley continues on a new sci-fi adventure.

For pop culture icons,ย Starfieldโ€™sย creative character customization wouldnโ€™t be complete without Ellen Ripley. This iconicย Alienย protagonist feels right at home in Bethesdaโ€™s new RPG. Many different players have created their own designs of the character throughout theย Alienย series. This includesย K3v8azย and their interpretation of multiple Ripley incarnations, all in one post.

Star Wars Galore

Star Wars fits perfect in the genre.

Similar to Ripley, Star Wars has many sci-fi icons that feel right at home. This includes recreations of Luke, Boba Fett, Anakin, and more that have been made by talented and devoted fans. With so many options to choose from, players can pick whatever design they feel they could make the most accurate. Plus, building their ship to go along with them is the icing on the cake. 

Doom Guy

Doom Guy is a simple build to replicate.

Despite not needing much on the end ofย Starfieldโ€™sย character creator, Doom Guy is a great model for a planet-hopping hero. To look like Doom Guy is simple. As per the instructions ofย echologย on theย Starfieldย Reddit, players only need to obtain the Deepseeker Space Helmet and Bounty Hunter Spacesuit.

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling is an interesting choice.

Finally, rounding out our list, if you have the time, you should try to make your character look like Ryan Gosling inย Starfield.ย For this creation byย ResonantJustice, the characterโ€™s appearance is based on Ryan Gosling fromย Blade Runner 2049. Recreating Ryan Goslingโ€™s Ken fromย Barbieย may be a fun challenge for those who want to pay tribute to the actor as well.ย
