The options in the Identity menu allow you to further customize your online persona by selecting a faction and by assigning callsign banners and patches.
Faction
In multiplayer, you’re not directly affiliated with the Militia or the IMC. Instead, you’re a freelance Pilot, attached to an independent faction. There are a total of six factions. Commander Sarah Briggs’ Marauder Corps is the first faction available, but others are unlocked as your Pilot levels up. Alternately, you can unlock any faction for 200 credits. At the start of a match, your faction commander provides a quick briefing before you deploy. The commander maintains contact throughout the match, informing you of significant events.

Callsign
Under the Callsign submenu you can select from a variety of banners and patches. Callsigns appear throughout matches as you complete significant actions, such as scoring the first Pilot kill or deploying a Titan. They also appear during kill replays. New callsign banners are unlocked by leveling weapons. Patches appear in the bottom left corner of your banner, giving it a more customized appearance. These are unlocked as you earn new Pilot levels or level up Titans.
Banners offer a cool way to personalize your callsign. Gen weapons to unlock more banners.
