Classic Character

Classic Characters are special unlockable characters in White Noise Online. They are denoted by a (Classic) tag on their name and use their models from White Noise Online. Currently, there are six Classic Investigators and one Classic Creature.

## Classic Investigators

Classic Investigators are playable characters from White Noise Online. Due to most of the characters in White Noise Online being retextures of other characters, each returning Investigator has skins that use the model of their retextures. For example, Kurt's Halloween skin uses Frank's texture.

### Kurt

Kurt is the first Classic Investigator the player can unlock and is one of the two Classic characters unlocked, the other being Subject 23. They are unlocked at Level 15. Kurt's stats are all average, with the exception of his Exploration, which is at six. This allows him to be an All-Around Investigator that excels in leading groups towards clues. His skins also change his stats and allow him to fit into his roles more. The only role Kurt cannot do well is Scouting/Splitting, due to Cautious lowering his Speed by 5% and lowering his chances of survival when split from his group.

Kurt's Halloween skin references Frank, who is unlocked by winning one game in White Noise Online. The Gamer skin references Johan, who is unlocked by purchasing Johnny Carnage on the Xbox 360 or by winning ten games. Finally, his Camo skin references Oliver, who is unlocked by winning a game on Bunker 51 or by purchasing Firing Range 2.

### Sarah

Sarah is the second Classic Investigator and third Classic Character unlocked, being obtained at Level 17. Compared to Kurt, Sarah's stats are far more varied, with her Stealth being the highest in the game. Due to this, Sarah works incredibly well as a Scout. Her Scouting ability is aided by SHADOW, which prevents Idols from detecting her and her Speed from decreasing when her Flashlight is off. Due to the distance needed to detect Sarah with an outline being increased with her flashlight off and her incredible Stealth stat, Sarah has the highest survivability of any Scout if she doesn't run into The Creature too often. However, her negative trait, SCAREDY CAT, makes her lose her Sanity 15% faster when alone. This is why Sarah needs to be careful when splitting. If the Creature has poor Perception, such as Morgul, and Sarah is using her Autumnal skin with the Electric Lighter or the Heater, she is nearly invisible to the Creature unless they are in their direct line of sight.

Sarah's Plain Clothes skin references Rafaella, who in turn references Heather Mason from Silent Hill. Her Racing Suit skin references Alex, who is unlocked by purchasing Little Racers STREET on the Xbox 360 or by winning a round on Isla Grande on Steam. Finally, her Farmer skin references Adele, who is unlocked by buying Avatar Farm! on the Xbox or by winning a round on Saint-Martin on Steam.

### Anne Marie

Anne Marie is the third Classic Investigator and fourth Classic Character unlocked, being obtained at Level 19. Similarly to Sarah, one of her stats is the highest in the game, with her highest stat being Bravery. Anne Marie works great as a Caboose, as she can equip a high-range flashlight without worrying about the battery life too often due to SCIENTIST, which restores half of her battery when near a found clue. This combined with her high Bravery, which is boosted even further with her Spring skin, gives Anne Marie a strong Caboosing ability. However, Anne Marie should never Shout, as if she does, she'll give away her position to the creature for twelve seconds due to NOISY. Instead, she should just use the "I'm lost!" command with Quick Chat (1-4 on PC, Up-Down on Console).

Anne Marie's Black and Purple skin references Sylvia. Her Soviet Jacket skin references Katya, who can be unlocked in White Noise Online by either purchasing Red Invasion: Blitzkrieg on the Xbox 360 or by winning a game on Founder's Hall.

### Jean Luc

Jean Luc is the fourth Classic Investigator and fifth Classic Character unlocked, obtained at Level 21. Unlike Sarah and Anne Marie, Jean Luc doesn't have one of his stats as the highest in the game. However, he is still more than capable of assisting his team due to HELPFUL, which increases every living Investigator's Endurance when near him. Due to this, Jean Luc is great at helping his team get away from The Creature. However, Jean Luc has the lowest Bravery in the game alongside Denali, meaning that when he stuns The Creature, he absolutely has to turn and run away. This is encouraged further due to DELICIOUS, which increases the Creature's Skill Usage by 15% when he's devoured. If Jean Luc is alone, DELICIOUS will most likely be activated quickly. Jean Luc should be defended at all costs, similarly to Rinko.

Jean Luc's Old Rocker skin references Richard. His Executive skin references Omar, who could be unlocked by purchasing White Noise on the Xbox 360 or by winning a game on Chateau for the Steam version.

### Chuck

Chuck is the fifth Classic Investigator and sixth Classic Character unlocked, obtained at Level 23. He is the first Classic Investigator to be unlockable in White Noise Online. Like Jin Wu, Chuck has the highest Flashlight stat in the game. Chuck is great at Caboosing with high-range Flashlights, but is also good at splitting from the group due to LONE WOLF increasing his Exploration and Bravery by 15% when away from the group. However, Chuck's Stealth is decreased by 10% when close to Investigators, meaning that his team's position will be given more easily. Chuck is therefore good at splitting from the group, but is also good at caboosing the Creature.

Chuck has the lowest amount of skins that reference retextures in White Noise Online, only having one. The Woodcutter skin references Jack.
