Characters:

1. Paladin - Bell De Blastio is the mayor of New York State. He’s quick witted with amazing leadership skills and can lead a group to safety while making the most necessary actions at the time. Bell is well diversed in navigating around New York, carrying with him a pocket map and a watch. He knows the quickest routes and stops to take in order to successfully get to the destination.
2. The Bard - Angis Fwortho Is a English Conductor of Time square orchestra. With his leading and performance skills in music art and being fluent in sign and note reading, Angis can translate puzzles and understand complex meanings of the toughest sought out problems. Angis carries around Spare glove compartment which can be used to pick up certain contaminated items and also reach in dirty areas.
3. The Scholar - Billy Thompson is a 6th grade math prodigy from downtown manhattan New york. With his amazing intellect and moth solving problems, Billy is able accurately calculate probabilities and errors that are to come due time. Billy possesses a calculator to help him with problems and measuring tape to make his answers and sizing more correct. With Billy being small there is no place he cannot reach and no area where he can’t fit through. This will come in handy for closed off areas where only a select few can enter.
4. The Barbarian - Flash Tompson is a senior in Highschool who is a lineman for his team. He’s big, heavy and strong. He is the overall tank powerhouse that can charge and breakthrough any barrier in his way. Flash comes eqip with football padding and his helmet. He is not a character equipped with items but a person who is strictly for attacking. Very Headstrong but not smart.
5. The Chef - Rordan Gamsay is an all time famous chef and he can sniff out ingredients for meals to boost stamina, help the Doctor heal others, be more powerful as a character, and keep the entire team going in extreme conditions (for example if you are in a subway tunnel and it is a long journey, you won’t need to stop to rest as often since you may have energy boosting ingredients such as coffee beans or green tea leaves). The Chef can also hold as many ingredients you can find unlike any other game character and can make a meal of anything. Other characters may be able to cook/consume without him but not for boosts as large as when he is making meals.
6. The New Yorker - Jamal Doe begins with no skills but can learn ONE skill set from another character to benefit the team throughout the game. He was born and raised in NYC which means he also has the best choice of direction BUT it is up to the team to decide whether to trust him because is from here or not to. This character can also choose to be secretly a villain because as most New Yorkers, Jamal prefers to be alone! So team must choose wisely if they want to teach him their skills, listen to any NYC advice, or help him in general.
7. The Doctor - Dr. Karma is a well known, respected, trusted NYC Doctor. She has a sad background however; her wife and children died due to COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic and the rest of her immediate family lives back in Ghana. The Doctor has the amazing skill set of healing, carrying clean protective gear for everyone (which is needed if you want to enter places like the Hospitals during the game or when working with strangers), has a radar for medical supplies, can get in confidential areas because of her known status she can be given keycards to receive helpful information or supplies, and administering drugs to the team that only a Doctor can give. Dr. Karma is another potential villain and is very fixated on destroying COVID-19 or preventing everyone from finding the cure because of her past.
8. The Professional Criminal - Diamond has been a part of multiple known heists and to this day, the FBI hasn’t been able to pull enough evidence to pin any on her. She is not only the mastermind behind the heists, but enjoys being the main person to risk her life and take the items she wants. She is the best team player because she has worked with others in the past BUT she can decide to be a villain when possible. She only truly trusts herself and if anyone makes her feel unneeded during the game, can decide to steal their supplies, food, or even the piece of the cure and put it back where it was originally forcing the team to make their way back. Doing something as extreme as hiding the piece of the cure can hold consequences however; this player wouldn’t be participating in the story anymore unless a team member decides to call a truce if they need her for a mission. Diamond doesn’t ever take things personal because a job is always a job!
9. The Athlete - Lisa Speed, she once was an olympic runner. She retired averaging speeds of 35 to 40 miles an hour, when the average person runs 10 to 15. This character uses her speed to get supplies where they need to be in a timely fashion on foot.
10.  The Sergeant - Sergeant Dovic is great for snooping out villains, team related obstacles due to his skills in leadership, and strength. He has been in the military for 15 years and recently came back from being overseas. He is someone who can be well trusted because he is the most patriotic, and is useful for puzzles as well. He comes with night vision gear and clothing to get to hard to reach places for supplies (strong combat boots, bullet proof vest, camouflage uniform) but is only 5 feet! This may or may not be an issue in your journey.
