Mabinogi Mobile has a profile feature that lets you choose a main character and introduce yourself. It’s called 스텔라그램. Each day, players can vote for one of three 스텔라그램 profiles. The player receiving the vote gets a Charm boost, and if they match with the voter, the voter’s Charm goes up too. A win-win! But here’s the thing: this is Mabinogi Mobile, a game whose dedication to character customization seemingly knows no bounds. Naturally, there are all sorts of ways to make your profile your own. Let’s take a look.

What Goes into Your In-Game 스텔라그램 Profile

Your 스텔라그램 can display your main character’s Charm, Combat Power, and Life Power, along with keywords, dislikes, your usual play hours, a one-line message, and even a physique photo(?). That gives everyone plenty of ways to show off their personality. Of course, some of you might already be sighing: “Do I really have to do this?” Don’t worry—all you have to do is choose from the available options. Less overthinking, more time to reflect on what makes you, you. Better yet, sharing your profile is entirely optional. You can keep it to yourself if you prefer. A thoughtful touch, wouldn’t you say?

A Physique Photo Shoot? Who Says It Has to Be in Real Life?

I have no intention of doing a physique photo shoot in real life. But before we get into that, let’s define the term. The National Institute of Korean Language defines a “body profile” as a photo shoot commemorating a body brought into peak condition through exercise and diet, or the resulting photograph. Its plain-language alternative is “a photo documenting one’s physique.” Since I’m taking a profile photo of my character, I figured the term could work here, too. You might be wondering why a discussion of in-game profiles in Mabinogi Mobile has suddenly turned into a talk about physique photo shoots. Well, that’s precisely what makes this game’s profile pictures so much fun.

A Different Pose, a Different Me

Yes, you can take photos with a variety of poses and expressions. And here’s why that matters! Even when everything else stays exactly the same, a new pose can create a completely different feel. The right pose can bring out the best in your lovely, adorable character or capture the mood you’re going for. Clicking through the options one by one and putting a look together is so, so, so much fun.

A Different Expression, a Different Mood

You’ve picked a pose, but something still feels missing? Try changing the expression. Even in the same pose, your character can convey a completely different mood or message with a different look on their face. The pose in this photo is called “Feeling Great.” As you can see below, a change of expression takes it from a fawning “Oh, boss, I’m counting on you to look after me” to a sexy wink, as though your character were a bartender shaking up a drink.

What’s Your Class? Let Its Charm Shine Through

Take a default profile photo without a weapon, and your character is simply standing there looking relaxed. Equip a weapon, though, and they immediately switch to a class-specific animation. In other words, changing weapons gives you a whole range of poses to work with. I wanted to look like a Joseon-era warrior, so I put on a hanbok and picked up a sword. You can see the swordsman’s default stance below. Other classes, including ice mages, fire mages, thieves, and longbow users, each have their own charm, so try them out and find the look you’re after.

Between your outfit and the animations tied to each class’s weapon, you can create a truly wide range of moods. To give you a clearer idea, I stuck to just two outfits and swapped out the weapons, changing expressions here and there as well. I’ve arranged the photos so you can spot the details at a glance. What kind of look are you going for? I’ve found so many I like that choosing is the hard part.

All right, one last thing. A profile wouldn’t feel quite complete with just the features we’ve covered, would it? A one-line message is the most powerful way to express who you are, and you can choose decorations to your heart’s content, too. I still only have the decorations I picked up during the earlier Sanrio collaboration, so I haven’t been able to go all out with mine. Other players’ profiles, though, show just how much variety is possible. It’s another way to let your personality shine through.
