11 Every playable character in ANANTA has their own job. Not just a title on a character screen but an actual gameplay loop with its own XP system, missions, and progression. Cops earn XP by arresting people. Couriers earn it by completing deliveries. Even the unemployed characters have mechanics tied to stamina and exploration.
