If the player has not unlocked a Character, they will appear as their respective silhouette. There are currently six Characters that are not unlocked via 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 Characters are Wilson and Wagstaff, considered the protagonists and the focus of the game's story. The only exception to this is Wes, the speechless mime, who uses pantomimes instead of sounds or quotes. 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 is currently a combined total of twenty-five playable Characters in Don't Starve, its DLCs and Don't Starve Together (DST).
