Alright, so you’re deep into the chaos of Among Us. The colors, the sabotages, the suspicion. Everything’s just a big blur of teamwork and betrayal. But let’s be real—you can’t survive without knowing your among us character inside and out. Whether you’re fixing wires or blending in with your best imposter act, this guide will walk you through how to handle any among us character with style (or deception).
Ready? Here we go.
What Is an Among Us Character Anyway?
Before we dive into the chaos, let’s take a sec to talk about what makes up your among us character. Spoiler: It’s not just about colors and hats. The among us character is your ticket to either saving the ship (as a crewmate) or ruining it (as an imposter). But you knew that already.
The Basics: What Does It Look Like?
Your among us character is a cute little blob in a spacesuit. You know, the thing that’s made of mostly 90% backpack and 10% personality. You can choose your color, your hat, your pet, and your skin (I mean, who doesn’t want to run around as a hot dog?), but let’s not get sidetracked.
Key Features:
- Spacesuit (standard)
- Oxygen tank (aka the backpack of destiny)
- Glass dome helmet (blue-tinted—gotta keep that space vibe going)
Customization? Oh, yeah. You can make your among us character look like a neon green giraffe or a flaming burrito. The possibilities are endless, just like my series of unfortunate attempts at building a raised garden bed. That’s a story for another time…
Roles: Crewmate or Imposter?
Here’s the thing: whether you’re playing as a crewmate or an imposter, your strategy has to fit your role. You can’t just play like you’re at a family dinner (unless your family is full of backstabbers, which, uh… mine is). Let’s break it down.
The Crewmate
Okay, so you’re the good guy. You’ve got your tasks, and your main job is to stay alive. Completing tasks, reporting bodies, calling meetings—the usual.
But here’s the twist: You could be murdered by a sneaky imposter at any moment. The real key? Surviving. And calling out the sus among us character at the right time. (Oh, the irony of the first time I called out Red. Spoiler: I was wrong. Lesson learned, people.)
The Imposter
Now, if you’re an imposter, you’ve got more fun ahead of you. I mean, let’s face it: faking tasks and taking out crewmates is actually a lot more exciting than cleaning wires. You’ve gotta stay cool, blend in, and look innocent. Kinda like the time I managed to pretend I knew how to use a sewing machine… and then got distracted by a YouTube tutorial on how to make a fruit salad. But I digress.
Imposter Tactics:
- Fake tasks (but don’t overdo it)
- Sabotage ship systems (cause chaos)
- Blend in, blend in, blend in (try not to kill your partner in front of everyone)
There’s something suspiciously satisfying about being the bad guy.
Color Matters: What’s Your Among Us Character’s Color Saying?
Y’all ever notice how colors in Among Us are basically personality traits? Don’t try to tell me Red isn’t always sus. The whole game is a big psychological experiment, and your among us character color says a lot.
What the Colors Really Mean
- Red: I’ve learned that this is a “don’t trust me” color. If you’re Red, you’re probably gonna be called out as sus at least three times per match. No one’s ever really trustworthy when they’re Red.
- Black: Mysterious. Silent. Quiet—but probably up to something.
- White: The basic goody-two-shoes. People will think you’re innocent—until you’re not.
- Blue: Cool under pressure. Hard to read. (I once played an entire game without anyone suspecting Blue. It was magical.)
- Pink: The underdog, always underestimated. Look out for those quiet Pink players—they’ll get you when you least expect it.
For me, Green is my go-to. A little chaotic, but not too aggressive. Sort of like how I approach… everything. Remember that time I almost started a fire trying to toast a bagel with a hair straightener? Yeah. Don’t ask.
Tasks: How Your Among Us Character Handles Work
Tasks. Tasks. Tasks. It’s what keeps us moving (or, you know, alive) in Among Us. As a crewmate, you’ve got work to do. Here’s a peek at what you might be dealing with:
Types of Tasks
- Wiring: So simple, right? But watch out—imposters can fake it.
- Swipe Card: Timing is everything. I’ve messed this one up so many times… don’t even get me started.
- Empty Garbage: Prove you’re not sus by actually doing it. This task is also visually confirmable.
- MedBay Scan: People watch you scan. It’s a good visual task to prove you’re safe… unless the imposter’s behind the corner.
- Reactor: Ah, the puzzle task that stresses everyone out. Good luck.
I always get distracted by how fun it is to pretend to be a ghost. Anyway, back to business.
Spotting the Sneaky Among Us Character
If you’re playing as a crewmate, you’ve gotta spot the imposter before they kill the whole squad. So, here’s the thing: it’s all about behavior. You’ll start noticing patterns.
Red Flags That Mean “SUS”
- They wander without a clear task
- They jump out of vents (obviously)
- They’re “too quiet” during meetings
- They accuse others first (they’re trying to deflect attention)
I was once playing as the world’s worst detective and missed all the signs. But you know what they say: “You can’t catch ‘em all… except maybe Red.”
Strategies for Every Among Us Character
So, here’s where it gets fun. Whether you’re crewmate or imposter, you’ve gotta have a strategy.
Imposter Tricks
- Kill on cooldown: You know what I’m talking about—always time your kills when no one’s around.
- Blend in: Travel in packs, like sheep. (Just don’t kill a sheep.)
- Sabotage the ship: Create distractions. It works way too well.
- Pretend to do tasks: But remember, don’t overdo it. I’ve been caught pretending to swipe a card way too many times. Cringe.
Crewmate Moves
- Stick with a buddy (no one likes to be the lone ranger)
- Watch the task bar
- Keep an eye on where everyone’s going
- Use meetings to call out anyone that feels “off” (that’s the fun part!)
Fun Facts About Every Among Us Character
Okay, so here’s the kicker. You might think Among Us is just a game, but there’s actually some weird history and fun tidbits behind it.
A Few Weird Facts
- The “Henry Stickmin” series? That’s where all the funky skins come from. I’m still waiting for the day they add a chicken suit as a skin, but hey, a person can dream.
- Did you know? The “dead body” design was inspired by a Rube Goldberg machine. Not even kidding.
- Oh, and there’s also a rumor that the devs made the crewmates small so they’d look cute when they died. And hey, it worked.
Final Thoughts: Mastering Your Among Us Character
So here we are. By now, you should have a solid grasp of how to play with—and against—every among us character you’ll encounter. Whether you’re a crewmate who just wants to finish tasks or an imposter who’s really out to make a scene, it all comes down to knowing your role and making those strategic moves. I mean, honestly? I’ve won more games by accident than on purpose—but don’t tell anyone.
And hey, if you mess up? Just remember, I once accused the wrong person six times in one game. So yeah, you’re not alone.
