In The First Descendant, players battle on behalf of humanity as a member of the Descendants, a powerful sub-race of humans that inherited powerful abilities through their connection to the Ancestors that once dominated the planet. At first, players will have to choose between one of three Descendants when beginning the game, but you can unlock many more either through playing the game... Or shelling out some of your real-world cash.
If you have your eye on a specific Descendant or want to experiment with new playstyles and more abilities, then you'll want to work on expanding your roster with new Descendants. There are two main ways to do that: by collecting valuable and rare resources during missions and completing research tasks, or by purchasing in-game currency and skipping the long research process entirely. Both methods have their pros and cons, but at least you have options.
