The characters of Runaway match the style of the game. The ensemble includes mad scientist and UFO freak Joshua Tarentula, the spider obsessed Russian killing machine who tries to lure you into her web. Knife, the incredibly irritating surfer who always pops up at the wrong time with a faux-witty remark and Lokelani, a sultry bathing beauty who spends most of the game pouting at Brian and making bad sexual innuendo jokes.
