Revision - identity system - Ananta Wiki

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.

Ananta TGS 2025 official screenshot - character roles — Each playable character has their own job, with day-to-day mechanics and a dual combat/job progression tree.

How it Works

When you switch to a characteryou also switch into their daily life. Richie patrols as a police officer, responding to calls and making arrests. Taffy runs deliveries through dangerous districts. Seymour runs covert hacking operations from his RV. Each job generates in-game income differently.

Confirmed Roles

Police officer (Richie), patrols, arrests, breathalyzer tests, investigations
Delivery courier (Taffy), deliveries across dangerous city districts
Hacker (Seymour), covert digital operations from an RV
Other mentioned roles include: fitness trainer, live-streamer, and unemployed (each with unique mechanics)

Skill trees

Each character has both combat skill trees and job skill trees. The combat trees upgrade fighting abilities; the job trees upgrade role-specific skills. This gives two separate progression tracks per character.

Connection to Story

The developers said, "You can live out lives you could never experience in real life." Each character's job feeds into their personal story arc. Job progression unlocks new story beats, new charactersand new traversal tools.

Dual Progression Tracks

Every character has two confirmed progression tracks running in parallel: a combat skill tree that upgrades fighting abilities, and a job skill tree that upgrades role-specific mechanics. The dual structure is a key reason why character switching feels distinct: switching characters switches not just kit but daily routine and earning curve.

Story Hooks

Some new characters are unlocked through other characters' job storylines
Job-side income is a confirmed source of in-game currency, used for cosmetics in the Cosmetic Monetization loop
