Is there any way to rename or change the gender of my hero?

I created my hero in a fit of sleep deprivation and named him something I now regret. I can't find any way of changing the hero options I set when I first created my hero, though.

Is there any way to rename my hero, now that I've invested some time in his training, and I feel like I could more properly title him?

Also, while I'm at it, can I change his (her?) gender?

Solution 1:

No, to change the name or gender you would need to delete and re-create the character. However given the multiple character slots and the ability to have two characters with the same name, you can forego the deleting part if you want.
