Everything you need to know about the Among Us characters:
Who are the Among Us characters?
The Among Us characters are crewmembers of a spaceship invaded by a strange and deadly imposter. They’re humanoid creatures with a portly appearance, and they wear full-body spacesuits and small backpacks. The backpack’s purpose is unclear, though our best guess is that it’s some kind of oxygen tank.
The crewmembers show no obvious hierarchy or specializations, meaning they can perform any task on the ship without incident. Provided the imposter doesn’t kill them, that is. Right now, the Among Us characters have no solid backstory, but that could change over time as new maps and updates arrive.
What are the Among Us characters called?
Your Among Us character’s name is decided by you, the player. Changing your name is a simple process and you can do it before the start of a new round. Simply navigate your way to the ‘Online’ menu, click on ‘Enter Name’, then switch your existing title out for something fresh and exciting. Note that you cannot change your name while you’re partway through a round, as this would allow for all manner of confusing shenanigans.
