Character Creation refers to characters created by players themselves, rather than developers.
Crafting allows players to create their own items with the correct ingredients. It is used mainly in MMOs and RPGs.
Some games let players customize their character (or characters). Degree of customization may vary, with some games simply allowing to choose between different types of clothes, while others provide more detailed tinkering of features such as the distance between a character's eyes or hair color.
Everything you need isn't always spelled out for you on the map. Sometimes even the map is not there till you go explore it.
First Person Editing occurs when a player can edit the world geometry from a first-person point of view. A game which features First Person Editing as a core mechanic could be termed a First Person Editor, or FPE. Earliest examples of FPEs are Avoyd and Cube, followed by Infiniminer, Minecraft and many voxel games. The world editing properties should extend to the entire game environment, and optionally to avatars. A good test to identify an FPE is if players can write in-game by carving or building.
