Among Us characters are distinguished based on their colors and skins. The skins help the players customize their characters in the most unique way. Aside from aesthetic purposes, it can also help prevent mistaking a particular character for another. Some skins are themed related to food, game map and profession. The recent update added skins for the characters of the video game Destiny.
In the Classic game mode, most of the characters are assigned as crewmates and some crewmates are given extra roles like scientist or engineer. The special roles can be added or removed by the host player who created the game room. Regarding the impostor, the creator can add up to 3 impostors and has the option to make them shapeshifters or not. In Hide N Seek, only one character can be an impostor but the crewmates can use the vents like an engineer.

Among Us Skins
Among Us skins can be acquired in three different ways. For regular skins, you can buy them at the store using the bean points that you earn when playing games. The second option is to buy cosmicubes. It contains a set of different skins that you can unlock using its own currency.
Like the bean points, you will also automatically earn cosmicube currency as you play games. Most cosmicubes can be bought using the bean points while some can only be bought using stars. The store also offers skin bundles using stars. The only way to get a star is by buying it with real money using a credit/debit card.
