You can name your character whatever you want. As you play through the game’s story, you’ll unlock multiple forms for them. At first, they’ll start off with The Destruction path and physical type, but you’ll unlock another form at the end of the Jarilo-VI storyline. The second form is The Preservation path and fire type. You can swap freely between the forms by selecting “switch” under their Light Cone.

In general, Trailblazers are strong characters and well worth using. This is especially true in the starting character pool. The physical damage version allows for a big damage hit on the enemy and fire allows you to tank and provoke damage.
