Among Us is a party game that has the perfect elements to keep a group of players engaged. As Among Us characters, you have innocent crewmates who are just going about their daily lives. But all isn’t well, because there are also some imposters lurking in their group. The core concept is that the crewmates must eliminate or eject the imposters as soon as possible because the imposter(s) can kill them and pretend to be innocent angels. At the start of the game, you get assigned a role of the crewmate or imposter, and you must act accordingly.

Does your Color affect Gameplay?
No, there are no special abilities or powers your character gets upon choosing a particular color. It’s a purely cosmetic change that only determines your appearance during that specific game.
What are the Hats?
The Hats that your character dons in the game are also just for appearance. They don’t change up your role or any abilities. It’s simply the aesthetic you choose – do you want to look like a cute fruit or do you want to look like a villain? It’s totally your choice!
Who are these Characters?
The background of these characters is simple. They are humanoids with no arms and they wear spacesuits. Their job is to complete various tasks in the area they are in including Electric tasks, Oxygen related tasks, and much more. Once an imposter ends up killing a crewmate, the player getting killed will see a killing animation. The animations can differ from time to time, there are multiple versions available.
The Imposters are basically aliens disguised as normal humanoids. They have special abilities such as being able to sabotage certain areas and seeing better in the dark. Most importantly, they are hell-bent on killing the crewmates. They are smart, strategic and manipulative because they can frame innocents and make everyone else vote them out. Plus, they pretend to do tasks to blend in better but their work never adds to the actual completion of the tasks. They can also sneak through vents and close doors to create alibis.
Character Height
As per the Submit Scan task, the characters are 3’6″ tall.
