Don't Starve Together includes all characters from the base game and Reign of Giants DLC, however Shipwrecked DLC characters are not yet available. In Don't Starve Together, all available Characters are unlocked from the start and several perks have been changed and balanced for the multiplayer aspect of the game. Upon selecting a silhouette, the Poster on the left will be a coffin shut with chains and a lock, and the description will simply say "The Unknown".
If the player has not unlocked a Character, it will appear as their respective silhouettes. There are currently five exception characters that are not gained by conventional experience, but through game feats. Most of the other Characters can be unlocked when sufficient Experience has been accrued, gained at Death or when escaping to a new world. The first accessible character is Wilson, considered the protagonist and the focus of the game's story. The only exception to this is Wes, the speechless mime, who does not make sounds or have quotes, instead he uses pantomimes. Each character is "voiced" by a different instrument, and speaks differently when examining items and objects. Each character has at least one character specific perk, in addition to various bonuses and penalties to their stats, and usually are different in play style.
There are currently sixteen playable Characters in Don't Starve and its DLCs.
