Tag

Tags are character traits that affect others perception of the individual in Divinity: Original Sin 2. Race, occupation and fame are some key tags that may affect interactions with others, opening as many doors as they can close. Tags referring to Origin, Starter or Gender types are defined at the start of the game and can't be changed anymore. Race can be temporary changed using the Mask of the Shapeshifter.

Tag types

Gender

Gender tags determine, in what way others refer to you. These tags are determined during character creation and cannot be changed during the game itself.

Origin

Origin tags are tags exclusive to origin characters and companions. They cannot be changed during the game and they are accompanied by a set of starter tags that (save for one) cannot be changed or added.

Name	Description
Beast	Your failed rebellion against the Queen nearly destroyed you - so you began a new life on the high seas. Now, your old enemy is back. If you don't stop her, no-one will.
Fane	You woke up and your world was gone. The last of your kind, you hide behind a charmed mask, searching for the truth about a history that no-one knew existed.
Ifan	A crusader in Lucian's army, you lost your faith as war claimed countless innocents. Now, you're a Lone Wolf mercenary. Your mission? Kill Lucian's son.
Lohse	You're a musician: performer, star, and host to all manner of disembodied voices. Now, one dark voice has silenced them all and aims to claim your body for itself.
Red Prince	You are infamous: a brilliant warrior-general exiled from his empire for cavorting with demons. Fallen from grace, you refuse to give up. The throne will be yours again.
Sebille	A slave no longer, you still bear the living scar your master used to dominate you. He turned you into an assassin; made you hunt your own kin. Now, you hunt him.

Race

Race tags show to which race your character belongs to. All of these races, except Undead can be changed through using Mask of the Shapeshifter. Unlike mortal races, Undead race also has an additional racial tag, which shows whether said Undead character is of human or elven race for example.
