A character is an interactive entity the player controls during levels in Happy Wheels. The in-game camera will follow the character based on the where the character is (if the character's torso is destroyed, the camera will follow the heart). There are currently 15 total character types and 10 vehicles that a character will ride. Jim said that he may sometime create an NPC based on himself. Many new users believe characters can be 'unlocked', which in fact they cannot. It is simply that they have yet to be made. All ten current characters and their NPC's can be acessed in the game's Level Editor. Some playable characters have 1 character (e.g: Segway Guy) and some have multiple characters. (e.g: Irresponsible Dad, Santa Claus), these types of characters are known as Multi Playable Characters. There are 25 character slots total, 10 of which are filled.
