The following information may be incomplete.
You can help by adding missing information or formatting.
Profile name Sets the profile name of your current save file
Character name Sets the name of your character in game
Random name? Y/N - if you want your name randomized every round. Picks from a pool of unusual names.
Random appearance? Y/N - ditto, but with your appearance. Does not randomize gender.
Gender Purely cosmetic, as you can still wear women's clothing as a male, or have a full grown wizard beard as a women.
Age Has very minor effects in game, one of which effects the tone of your voice.
Blood type Has a minor effect in pathology, but nothing substantial.
Bank pin (Randomize - Y/N) Sets the pin of your ID card for use at ATMs. Check your Notes in the command tab if you forget it. Can be selected to be randomized.
Fart sound Choose between shrill squeak to a more trumpety sounding bowel movement.
Scream sound Unfortunately no Wilhelm scream option, but plenty of pained yelling to choose from.
Occupation choices Allows you to choose which jobs you would prefer to have or not have, including whether or not you want to be an antagonist. Until you get a hang of the game, you probably don't want to try being one (which is the default) or messing with tricky jobs. If you set a job as "Unwanted", you are usually guaranteed not to get it - you'll be a staff assistant if nothing else is available. If the game has already begun, you don't need to bother setting your Occupation Choices, since you'll be choosing your job from the late available list.
Trait choices Gives your character a bunch of buffs and debuffs or if you want your character to hefe-a eccent Bork Bork Bork! Please note that in order for your character to have more than one buff you'll have to balance it out with a debuff. Recommended that you don't mess with these settings until you get a full understanding how useful (or detrimental) this would be to your character.
Appearance Customize what your character looks like, from skin color, underwear to hair and general features. Note that your characters details can be changed by the Barber, or can be changed completely by the Geneticist
HUD style Changes the appearance of your Heads Up Display. For more info on your HUD see below
Targeting cursor Changes what your targeting cursor will look like. This cursor is only used in abilities such as wrestler or wizard's spells, etc.
Display OOC / LOOC chat? Displays whether Out of Character speak is displayed. OOC is enabled pre-round and at round end, mainly for discussion about the previous or previous round. LOOC is Local OOC, however this is essentially obsolete. Best to keep these both on, you can always toggle OOC on/off in the Commands tab
View Changelog automatically? Automatically displays the Changelog upon booting up the game. The changelog displays new updates to the game.
View score info automatically? Automatically displays a bunch of interesting information (such as amount of corpses, richest escapee, if the station was powered, etc) at the end of the round.
View tickets/fines automatically? Automatically displays the list of recorded "offenses" by Security at the end of the round.
Use click buffer? A tool for people who have high ping or harsh lag. If you click during the post-action delay, the action will be executed as soon as the delay ends. Basically you will only have to click once on stuff, while with before during lag clicking something may not be registered.
Admin music volume Occasionally admins will play music in the background, or players may be given DJ status to allow play music themselves. Eitherway, this option allows you to change the volume of the music playing. Note that you can stop the current song file playing by pressing "Stop the music!" in the Commands tab
Default to WASD mode / Use AZERTY layout Change your keyboard layout. WASD/AZERTY layout has different keyboard shortcuts, which can be found here
Save/load profile / cloud saving Saves/loads your customized character, with 3 slots available. Occasionally BYOND likes to forget that you even saved your profile, resulting in most if not all of your data going AWOL. A fix for this would be to use the cloud save function, as this is saved externally.
