Robert Foster

The hero of the game, Foster grew up in the savage Gap, away from the oppressive technology ruling most people's lives. When dragged away from his home to Union City, he must fight to uncover the truth and find a way out of the city.

Joey

Foster's robotic pal, his shell was damaged when the Union City Security troops came to take Foster with them. Luckily, his personality board was salvaged, so if Foster can find a shell for him, Joey will be back, cracking jokes and annoying everyone else.

LINC

The omnipresent computer that runs Union City, LINC was the brainchild of Dr. Piermont. It seems to want Foster badly though, and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve its aims.

Overmann

A mysterious figure who lurks around the borders of what has been going on, Overmann is obviously someone with tremendous pull in Union City. Finding out just who he is seems like the key to finding out the awful truth.

Officer Reich

The highest-ranking street officer in the Security Corps, Reich leads the group who take Foster from the Gap back to Union City. He seems to be in close cahoots with the computer system LINC, and knows more about Foster than he's letting on.

Hobbins

A long-suffering technician, Hobbins has to deal with most of the problems that crop up in the Recycling Plant, giving him plenty to grumble about throughout the day.

Gilbert Lamb

The manager of the Factory, Gilbert Lamb is very full of himself, proud of the crummy job he's got himself. Seems like someone really needs to knock him down to size.

Anita

A disgraced D-LINC, Anita questions what exactly LINC is doing to Union City. She's computer-savvy and knows a few tricks that Overmann may well need to be able to find out the truth.

Mrs. Piermont

A wealthy widow, Mrs. Piermont now spends most of her time spoiling her dog. She knew both of Foster's parents, and has some usful information, though she's more likely to talk about how wonderful her beloved pooch is.
