Characters

Throughout RAD, the player can encounter many friendly NPC's who offer dialogue, propose side quests, or sell items. In the Fallow, there exist three factions: The Cathode Raiders, The Transfigured, and The Vestigial, who occupy the Cracked Lands, the Hollow Forest, and the Devoured Expanse respectively.

Notable NPCs
The player begins the game with access to most NPC's within the Town, with the opportunity to unlock certain characters as the player achieves endings.

At the beginning of the game, the player can select from several different "Styles", which appear to be cosmetic-only character changes that don't influence gameplay. The player can unlock new Styles by accumulating enough XP across multiple runs. Below is the complete list of available Styles. There is an impression among some players that certain Styles have untold preferences for certain Exo Mutations, but this has not been substantially investigated.

 * B-Girl
 * Spumoni
 * Cy (Unlocked after first win)
 * Turbo (DLC)
