Characters

Characters are the living entities that populate the game world, and come in two types - players and NPCs. Playable characters are characters that players can play as; the player's character is chosen at the beginning of the game. Some characters must be unlocked before they can be chosen. NPCs are "non-player characters". These are the computer-controlled characters throughout the game.

If you are looking to experiment with different characters, the Daily Run can provide you with a new experience each day.

Playable Characters (starting)

Character	Attributes	Special Ability	Traits	Starting Items	Description
Doctor	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 1 Firearms: 2	Chloroform Hankie	Pacifist Medical Professional	Tranquilizer Gun First Aid Kit EarWarp Whistle (3)	One of the few true pacifists in this dangerous world. Indeed, the Doctor is very skilled at 'pacifying' people. With chloroform. But business is currently booming, what with all the beating being administered by Cops since the Mayor's new "Law of the Land" was put in place. Despite the extra cash flow, the Doctor would rather the streets be safe, and has decided to join the Resistance. See their big quest HERE.
Gangster (Crepe)	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 2 Firearms: 3	(none)	Blahd Basher Team Building Expert	Knife Pistol Friend Phone (2) Boombox	Joined the Crepes after witnessing their father being murdered at the hands of a Blahd. Actually, it wasn't a Blahd, it was just a crazed naked man driven insane from a nasty sunburn. The Gangster probably needs to have their vision checked. See their big quest HERE.
Hacker	Endurance: 1 Speed: 3 Melee: 1 Firearms: 2	Laptop	Tech Expert Skinny Nerdlinger	Translator Quick Escape Teleporter Hologram Bigfoot (3)	Has ambitions of hacking the planet, but will realistically settle for your parents' webcam. What Hacker worth their weight in salt doesn't want to take down the system? Joining the Resistance was a no-brainer for this societal outcast. Also no-brainers: Cheetos and not showering. .....Stereotypes. See their big quest HERE.
Slum Dweller	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 1 Firearms: 2	(none)	Super Studious Jack of Extra Trades Potential To Not Suck	Whiskey	Starting from nothing, the humble Slum Dweller is willing to rise up and do whatever it takes to make it in this crazy world. This typically involves beating up random people for their cash, and scouring trash barrels for bacon cheeseburgers. A true personification of the American Dream! See their big quest HERE.
Soldier	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 3 Firearms: 4	(none)	Modern Warfarer	Machinegun Grenade (5) Door Detonator (3) Land Mine (3) Kill Ammunizer Combat Helmet	The Soldier aspires to fight for the city. Unfortunately there are no wars going on right now. So why not create one? That's where the Resistance comes in. Rather than sitting around twiddling their thumbs, the soldier will now have the opportunity to fight the good fight -- and maybe even commit a few atrocities in the process! Hoo-ah!!! See their big quest HERE.
Thief	Endurance: 1 Speed: 4 Melee: 2 Firearms: 2	Sticky Glove	Honor Among Thieves Suspicious Slippery Target	Crowbar Lockpick (3) Safe Buster (3) Window Cutter (3) Cardboard Box (3) Wall Bypasser (5)	Pretty much the worst thief who has ever lived. Actually dresses in stereotypical burglar garb. Ridiculous. This was done out of tremendous insecurities -- they thought it would make them feel like more of a professional criminal. It didn't. Will the Thief ever conquer their imposter syndrome? See their big quest HERE.

Camouflage	Backstabber	Sword Shuriken (10) Quick Escape Teleporter EarWarp Whistle	Stealthily moves through the shadows and murders people from behind. One day dreamed of assassinating a president or military leader, but has so far had to settle for rich old ladies and the occasional rich feline heir. Hey, a job's a job! When the Assassin heard about the growing unrest against the mayor, a murderous spirit within was renewed! See their big quest HERE.
Bartender	Endurance: 3 Speed: 2 Melee: 2 Firearms: 3	Drink 10 alcoholic beverages in a single game.	(none)	Serve Drinks Charismatic Team Building Expert Drug-a-lug	Drink Mixer Whiskey Beer Cigarettes (3) Hypnotizer Mark II (3) Haterator (3)	Everyone loves the friendly Bartender! One of the few people willing to listen to you drone on about how your job is crap, the opposite sex doesn't like you, and you're thinking of 'ending it all in a rain of gunfire and carnage'. Blah blah blah! But the bartender remains understanding and discrete to their core. Fun fact, the Bartender also serves alcohol. See their big quest HERE.
Cannibal	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 3 Firearms: 2	Kill 20 NPCs in a single level.	Cannibalize	Strict Cannibal Suspicious Antisocial	Axe Bear Trap (5)	The result of inbreeding, toxic sludge, and internet videos of animals being kept in tiny cramped spaces before being turned into fast food. The Cannibal finds it morally unjustifiable to eat animal meat, but it's just so tasty! There is only so much tofu one can take before they snap. Fun fact: Human meat is apparently very sweet tasting See their big quest HERE.
Comedian	Endurance: 1 Speed: 2 Melee: 2 Firearms: 2	Kill anyone (including yourself) with a banana peel.	Joke	Skinny Nerdlinger Team-Building Expert	Bacon Cheeseburger Whiskey Cigarettes Sugar	Whether expounding on the differences between races or lamenting a recent online date gone hi-lariously bad, the Comedian has no shortage of worldview-expanding and totally non-hacky material. While their jokes can be polarizing at times, the comedian lives to be loved, and won't be happy until everyone laughs DAMMIT! See their big quest HERE.
Cop	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 2 Firearms: 3	Bribe 3 Cops (can be done over multiple runs).	Handcuffs	The Law	Police Baton Pistol Dizzy Grenade (5)	Follows the Law of the Land unflinchingly, even if it doesn't always make perfect sense. Despite this, the Cop became disenchanted with the current government after a law was passed preventing more than four people from dancing side by side, sadly forcing the Cop's Village People cover group to disband. See their big quest HERE.
Firefighter	Endurance: 3 Speed: 3 Melee: 2 Firearms: 2	Extinguish 5 fires in a single run.	Water Cannon	Scorching Savior Fireproof Skin Inferno Assailant Team-Building Expert	Fire Extinguisher Flamethrower Oil Container Molotov Cocktail (3) Cigarette Lighter	Fire hoses are pretty effective, but they're so big and unwieldy! So, what's a more efficient solution? According to the Mayor: chop off the arms of Firefighters and install state-of-the-art Water Cannons on the nub. While this has led to a moderate improvement in fire control effectiveness, it has caused Firefighter morale to plummet, what with the all the unwanted mutilation and such. See their big quest HERE.
Gangster (Blahd)	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 2 Firearms: 3	Neutralize 10 Crepe Gangsters in a single run.	(none)	Crepe Crusher Team Building Expert	Knife Pistol Friend Phone (2) Boombox	Joined the Blahds after witnessing their father being murdered at the hands of a Crepe. Actually, it wasn't a Crepe, it was just a crazed naked man driven insane after falling into a vat of blueberries. The Gangster probably needs to have their vision checked. See their big quest HERE.
Gorilla	Endurance: 4 Speed: 4 Melee: 4 Firearms: 1	Free a Gorilla out of a Scientist Lab.	Primal Lunge	Vocally Challenged Malodorous Stubby Fingers Team Building Expert Tank-Like Scientist Slayer Banana Lover	Banana (2)	This beast was raised in a science lab and given experimental drugs that made them hyper-intelligent.

Investment Banker	Endurance: 2 Speed: 3 Melee: 3 Firearms: 3	Hold 500 money at once in a run.	(none)	Addict Drug-a-lug Longer Status Effects Moocher Shrewd Negotiator	Money (300) Sugar Cigarette Lighter	"Greed is good! So are drugs!" This is the motto that the Investment Banker lives by. Predictably, this has led them to significant wealth and a crippling drug addiction... Party party party! It's an extreme lifestyle (And gameplay style) that's not for everyone. See their big quest HERE.
Jock	Endurance: 4 Speed: 3 Melee: 4 Firearms: 1	Achieve destruction level 75 in a single level.	Chaaarge	Master of Disaster Computer Illiterate Sucker Loud	Baseball Bat Muscly Pill	When not administering wedgies, swirlies, and Indian sunburns to nerds, the Jock enjoys running into walls at high speeds. When scientists contended that this behavior destroys brain cells, the Jock passionately argued that it actually RESTORES brain cells, ironically giving more validity to the scientists' claims. Scientists backed down after receiving the most severe purple nurples of their lives. See their big quest HERE.
Mobster	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 2 Firearms: 3	Pay an NPC Mobster to rig the mayoral election.	(none)	Extortionist Corruption Costs Mugger Friend of the Family Team Building Expert	Baseball Bat Mini Fridge Friend Phone (2)	The Mobster lives by several guiding principles: Cash is king, family is forever, and dinner is divine. Breaking this balanced trifecta of money, loyalty, and heaping helpings of carbohydrates would make for one cranky criminal.

Robot	Endurance: 3 Speed: Rechargeable Melee: Rechargeable Firearms: Rechargeable	Hack a Cop Bot or the Killer Robot.	Power Sap	Rechargeable Electronic Blaster Survivor Blaster Master	Rocket Launcher Sledgehammer Beer (5)	Most Robots have specific roles, like "cop", or "butler". but sadly the engineers behind this Robot forgot to give it a purpose. Combine this with an uncommonly low battery life, and you've got a formula for an inferiority complex. However, since joining the Resistance the Robot has seemingly found their purpose: Become Mayor and bring about judgement day. Or alternatively, discover what love is, and rule with benevolence. See their big quest HERE.
Scientist	Endurance: 1 Speed: 2 Melee: 1 Firearms: 2	Pollute 5 air filtration systems (can be done over multiple runs).	(none)	Tech Expert Drug-a-lug Specist Skinny Nerdlinger	Research Gun Leafblower Shrink Ray Freeze Ray Water Pistol Ghost Gibber Rage Poison (3) Giantizer (2)	Has devoted their life to advancing science and torturing gorillas. As a result of the former, the Scientist has acquired a number of fun toys to take on their adventure. While they would probably prefer to be testing these toys on caged gorillas in the name of scientific progress (read: undiagnosed sadism), the Scientist has joined the Resistance due to the Mayor cutting beaker allowances to 1 per laboratory. See their big quest HERE.
Shapeshifter	Endurance: 1 Speed: 4 Melee: 1 Firearms: 1	Beat any floor with 5 different non-custom characters.	Possess	Wanted Diminutive Antisocial	Possession Stone	The Shapeshifter has been sent to Earth for the purpose of causing planet-wide chaos. Unfortunately, the Shapeshifter's earthly appearance is that of a demonic-looking little naked person (it's just pink eye, OK?), which is not really ideal for functioning in society. Fortunately, the Possession Stone allows the Shapeshifter to hop into and out of people's bodies, making life on Earth a whole lot easier! See their big quest HERE.
Shopkeeper	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 2 Firearms: 4	Spend 1500 money (can be done over multiple runs).	(none)	Art of the Deal Shrewd Negotiator	Portable Sell-O-Matic Shotgun Mini Fridge Free Item Voucher	Is often known for being very critical of his fellow roguelike shopkeepers, referring to his contemporaries who set up shop in the middle of dungeons as "frigging idiots with no common sense".

Slavemaster	Endurance: 2 Speed: 2 Melee: 2 Firearms: 3	Purchase 4 Slaves (can be done over multiple runs).	Enslave	Ideological Clash Team Building Expert Poor Hand-Eye Coordination	Taser Slave Helmet Remote Axe	The warmest, gentlest slavemaster one could ever hope to have. Captives have been known to exclaim "12 years a slave? Heck, make it an even 20!" Actually, that has never once happened. As for all the form-fitting leather? .. Well, everybody has their thing, ok? See their big quest HERE.
Vampire	Endurance: 2 Speed: 4 Melee: 3 Firearms: 2	Destroy 20 gravestones in a single run.	Bite	Jugularious Camera Shy Werewolf A-Were-ness	Blood Bag (2) Cologne	Sucks people's blood not out of absolute necessity, but is actually just a really picky eater. This pickiness extends to the Vampire's social circles. Recently overheard: "Why does this zombie keep texting me to hang out? It's like, dude, just cause we're both undead doesn't mean we're besties. All you do is whine about politics." See their big quest HERE.
Werewolf	Endurance: 1 Speed: 1 Melee: 1 Firearms: 1	Kill a Ghost.	Werewolf Transformation	Antisocial Sucker Skinny Nerdlinger	Ham Sandwich	Up until this point, the Werewolf has only used their powers for two things: 1. Winning high school basketball games, and 2. Viciously mauling people. Werewolf does not consider either of these things to be a worthwhile use of thier time, and feels like their life is stuck in a rut. Thanks to the Resistance. they'll hopefully be able to use their powers for some good -- all while having a howl-ingly good time! See their big quest HERE.
Wrestler	Endurance: 4 Speed: 1 Melee: 4 Firearms: 1	Beat the Slums with only your fists.	Toss	Computer Illiterate Tank-Like Loud	Codpiece Muscly Pill	Manhandling, smashing, beating -- all in a day's work for the simple-minded but strong-of-heart Wrestler! But in truth, this behavior stems from the Wrestler's severe frustrations with the world. Why has the mayor banned playful roughhousing? Why do so many businesses frown upon shirtlessness? Why do books have all those stupid words in them? AAARRRGH!!! See their big quest HERE.
Zombie	Endurance: 1 Speed: 1 Melee: 3 Firearms: 1	Beat the Slums with the Vampire.	Zombie Phlegm	Zombiism Flesh Feast Fair Game Class Solidarity Army of Five Vocally Challenged Stubby Fingers Bullet Sponge	(none)	The Zombie doesn't actually want to eat people's brains. I mean that's pretty gross. However, society expects it. Society also demands that "normies" try to stab Zombies in the head with an axe. It's a vicious cycle. Zombies also wish that they were cool enough to hang out with Vampires -- but as everyone knows, Vampires can be pretty aloof! See their big quest HERE.

Courier	Endurance: 2 Speed: Roller Skates Melee: 2 Firearms: 2	Purchase the Character Pack DLC.	(none)	Roller Skates Graceful	Quick Escape Teleporter Delivery App Walkie Talkie	In a world where teleportation is a thing, why would anyone need a Courier to deliver packages by hand? Simple: sometimes, items can shift around in weird ways during teleportation. Not like The Fly or anything like that, more along the lines of gravy from your brisket spilling all over your fries.
