Characters
Many of the characters the player will meet first appeared in Rama II. There are also some characters who are never met but are referred to elsewhere in the game:
- Shigeru Takagishi (Scientist)
- David Brown (Mission Commander)
- Francesca Sabatini (Video Journalist) (played by Tiffany Helm)
- Otto Heilmann (Chief Security Officer)
- Michael O'Toole (Codemaster)
- Richard Wakefield (Chief Engineer)
- Reggie Wilson (Print Journalist)
- Irina Turgenyev (Career Cosmonaut) (Voiced by Sharon Mann)
- Nicole des Jardins (Medical Officer) (played by Amy Hunter)
- Hiro Yamanaka (IBI Agent)
- Janos Tabori (IBI Agent)
- Valeriy Borzov (IBI Agent; Deceased before the game and replaced by the player character)
Characters are played by live actors, each with their own behaviour towards the player. Although this largely doesn't affect gameplay, it enhances the realistic feeling. There are several hints throughout the game about the characters' relations that point to a secondary backplot.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“The more gifted and talkative one’s characters are, the greater the chances of their resembling the author in tone or tint of mind.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
