Inventory
Each character's max inventory slot has a max of 40 items. Varies based on the item in question. Any plant dug up goes to 10, wood logs and manure go to 20. Any consumable food stacks to 40. And grave dug objects (aside from amulets which go to 10) take a whole slot for each individual one.

Characters are added as you gain experience (xp) and level-up. The first 3 characters are roughly the same 'strength', with the fourth character, "Wolfgang", being a stronger character more durable character.

Wilson P. Higgsbury? -? The Gentleman Scientist
I will conquer it all with the power of my MIND!

Wilson.jpg
Wilson is the only character known that can grow a beard, which makes him the only one who can get the components for the? Meat Effigy. Wilson has 3 stages of beard growth that change after days pass.? Stubble(4) Bearded(11) Elderly beard(16).? You can shave off all of them with the Razor? but each of the 3 stages yield different amounts of hair. (1/3/9)? But don't fret, if? the player has a Tent available they can switch from their character to Wilson to acquire the beard hair, build the? Meat Effigy, and then switch back to their character of choice. This removes the factor of not having the? Meat Effigy? on other characters, and gives you an extra life. (repeatable)? Although he sees himself as a great scientist this does not seem to have an impact on produced or needed research points at all.

Special:


 * Grows a magnificent beard (Which makes him superior). "Looks like a handsome guy"

Willow? -? The Firestarter
Things are so much prettier when? they burn!  Willow is the first unlockable character and therefore the first playable female character.She likes fire and she seems to have an increased mining speed. When Submerged in 100% darkness she lights a small fire at her feet. This can catch on anything flammable (instant forest killer) and is a resourse free way of surviving nights. This removes the danger factor of pitch black darkness. As Willow, you don't even need to light one fire all night, once your passive fire extinguishes, another will take it's place almost immediately, so camp fires are only good for cooking food and saving your piggy friends. NOTE: Mobs will still kill you at night, this only removes the danger of the monster in the darkness.

Special:
 * Immume to fire damage. "I wish it was still burning"
 * If in total darkness starts a small fire at feet. "It looks like it would burn well"

Wendy? -? The Bereaved
''Abigail Come back! I'm not done playing with you.''



Wendy is the second character unlocked. Her abilitiy is quite fickle, at dusk there is a chance that her late twin sister? [http://dont-starve-game.wikia.com/wiki/Character#Abigail_-_Wendy.27s_Twin_sister. Abigail]? will spawn beside you. This can can very problematic because if you're idle at dusk and Abigail spawns it will hurt you, only while moving as she spawns can you avoid this problem. Despite the fact that her ability can hurt and possibly kill you it is quite useful. During the night Abigail will fight for you, attacking any hostile mobs in the area, she cannot be harmed and hurts anything she touches (including you) Abigail does try and keep her distance from you though.?


 * Special:
 * Has a visitor at night. (Abigail) "This is my twin sister Abigail"

Wolfgang? -? The Strongman
'I am mighty! No one is mightier!'

The third unlockable character. Wolfgang comes with a lot of bonuses and not many drawbacks. But despite his manly moustache he cannot grow a beard, therefore cannot build the Meat Effigy. But with a Tent he can switch to Wilson, get the beard hair then come back to Wolfgangs mighty muscles, and stomach.


 * Special:
 * Higher health (200 health) "Ha Ha Ha, I have defeated the grass"
 * Bigger stomach (200 stomach) "You cannot hide forever, jumping meat!"
 * Hits harder "Log is big like my arm"

Maxwell
? Added by? Hirnwirbel He is a magician/demon who supposedly trapped you in this world/wilderness. Seen in the beginning and dissappears as soon as he is finished talking or when you click around. Other than his first appearance he has yet to show himself at any other time. He is a non-playable character (NPC.)

Abigail will occasionally show herself during the night if you play as? Wendy.
Abigail has the ability like all ghosts to hurt anyone, including the main character, until they die. This abilty is useful in killing animals while they sleep.

WARNING: If you go near her she will hurt you. She is not an enemy and will try and stay a distance from you, but if you touch her she will hurt and maybe kill you.
