The main protagonist of the game.
They arrived in Cockport hoping to be involved in the local street racing scene with their Java'd BMW M3 GTR.
After some races, they challenged the notorious Blacklist #15, Razor to a pink slip race (actually Kuru in-game), only to lose the race and the car thanks to a trolling music that caused the vehicle to break down. Arrested by Sergeant Crock, who send them to a gulag, they were released a few days later due to lack of evidence since Kuru took the car away, after which they are aided by Eden, who helps the player rise through the Blacklist and get their payback on Kuru for selling their car.

!!!'''Car:''' Chevrolet Corvette C6.R (2005) (during cutscenes)
->''"Oh man! Did you pick the wrong street to run on? This... this is a nice cock!"''
Sergeant Crock is the Police Sergeant and on of the most "skilled" driver in the Cockport Police Department.
Earlier in the prologue, Crock pulls the player over for bringing a non-street legal car in the city. About to have their car impounded, a radio advert for Kuru's Instant Gaming for cheap game keys prevented them from occuring, forcing Crock to spare the player at the mean time.
Later on, after losing the race and their car against Razor, they're left merciless in the hands of Crock. He finally arrests the player, and sends them to the gulag but is forced to release them due to lack of evidence.
He makes one final appearance in the end where he calls every available unit in the city to chase down the player, who just acquired back their Java car. Unfortunate for the player to ultimately escape Cockport via BrokenBridge, Crock issues the player as the God-level bad boy on the National Most Pepega List.
----
* AdaptationalNameChange: His original name Cross was "pepefied" for the Pepega Edition... alas, he's now as Sergeant '''Crock'''.
* DemotedToExtra: He only shows up during cutscenes, with disregard of voice messages, as opposed to the vanilla game.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Guess what happens next after Crock arrests the player for street racing? He then [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019 sends the player straight to be a confined in a gulag!]]
* GagPenis: This line:
-->''"This... this a nice cock!"''
* HeroAntagonist: Because street racing is obviously illegal, and Crock is trying to put a stop to it.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Whenever Mia leaves before the end of each cutscene, Crock shows up at the last second, about to say his iconic line in ''Carbon'':
-->'''Crock:''' Sit down! How you've been?
* SuddenlyShouting: To over exaggerated levels! As soon as he shouts "'''EVERYONE!!!'''", it's so goddamn loud that it can be heard all over the world (with AstronomicZoom!). Even Kuru and [[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Samson]] from ''miles'' are surprised by his loud shout!

The main protagonist of the game.
They arrived in Cockport hoping to be involved in the local street racing scene with their Java'd BMW M3 GTR.
After some races, they challenged the notorious Blacklist #15, Razor to a pink slip race (actually Kuru in-game), only to lose the race and the car thanks to a trolling music that caused the vehicle to break down. Arrested by Sergeant Crock, who send them to a gulag, they were released a few days later due to lack of evidence since Kuru took the car away, after which they are aided by Eden, who helps the player rise through the Blacklist and get their payback on Kuru for selling their car.
----
* BadassDriver: Despite all the mockery they received, they still plowed over all their opponents even when losing their Java car, and eventually became TheMostWanted (and subscribed) Pepega racer.
* BlankSlate: New to the city, and tries to make a name for themselves, ''pepega-style''.
* CoolCar: Subverted! Sure, it's still a BMW M3 GTR which the car itself is arguably the coolest car in the original ''Need for Speed'' franchise, but here... this version of the M3 GTR is ported out straight from the Java version of the game, with low-poly, 8-bit graphics, and the color patterns reversed. Eden even lampshades it when you meet him the first time!
-->'''Eden:''' Ewww, dude. What is this car?! Did you get this one from a Java game?
** Prior to the V2 update, the car was originally a blue low-poly Java Nissan 350Z from its mobile counterpart of ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground''. It's lampshaded to the point when Crock in his [=OnlyFans=] page describes it as a "Weird blue car with less than 10 polygons"
* {{Leitmotif}}: MC MENTAL's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyyumxg6OEg At His Best]]" play out loud whenever you're in the M3 GTR during cutscenes.

-->'''Player:''' '''[[PrecisionFStrike FAK!]]'''
* RankUp: The player must climb up the ranks of the blacklist to get revenge on Kuru, who is #1.
* ATasteOfPower: The player starts the game owning the fast BMW M3 GTR (which is a Java car), before losing it to Kuru and having to start off with one of three starter cars. But with a twist... it's a low-poly Java vehicle, but still it has no change of performance from the original.

Also he likes to give them some trivia and hints about the whereabout regarding the Java car and some other stuff.
* FireForgedFriends: The friendly race helped secure both their trustworthiness and friendship.

While his driving skills are phenomenally par with this two mates Jeremy and James, he is highly notorious for his car accidents, from his first car, the Toyota Corolla, to even an insanely-fast top-fuel dragster. But nonetheless, he still comes back though, much to Jeremy and James's annoyance.

* ButtMonkey: Nothing goes well for the Hamster; ranging from trying to get his "Oliver" Opel Kadett to float back to the surface but failing, to him crashing his Rimac. And the burnt remains of his Rimac remained intact when he shows up to race!

* MadeOfIron:
** In-universe, where he gets into high-speed car crashes and accidents that would likely kill someone in RealLife... but not for Hammond! He comes back up fro some reason...
** His Rimac eventually survived too.
* MythologyGag: The choice of car for Richard, the Rimac Concept One refers to the one he drove in the Croatia episode of ''Series/TheGrandTour''... and infamously crashing it.

** His blacklist intro which shows his ''F1 2019'' Azerbaijan Twitch stream being AlwaysSecondBest behind Kuru and him constantly failing may refer to his disastrous experience at the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Azerbaijan_Grand_Prix 2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix]] where he crashed out during Q2 at the right-side barrier at the notorious "Castle Section".

Kuru is no doubt the defeated King of Most Wanted. He'd do anything he can to push himself to the edge of being and maintaining the number one spot, including selling and scamming someone on mobile games. He can never be trusted on anything he says. After beating both Ryan Cooper and Charles Leclerc, also a friendly race with Eden, Kuru confronts the player and challenges them in a pink slip race.
Unbeknownst to the player, Kuru was the mastermind behind the VehicularSabotage of the player’s Java car, which breaks down halfway through the race. Kuru automatically wins the race and their car, which he uses to sell it off to some chick in Bayview for cash and build his own monster car. All while skyrocket through the top of the Blacklist, whilst the player is arrested by Crock.
[[spoiler:Upon the player reaching #2 on the Blacklist, they challenge Kuru once more to get their revenge for what happened with the Java car]].
----

Sergeant Crock is the Police Sergeant and on of the most "skilled" driver in the Cockport Police Department.
Earlier in the prologue, Crock pulls the player over for bringing a non-street legal car in the city. About to have their car impounded, a radio advert for Kuru's Instant Gaming for cheap game keys prevented them from occuring, forcing Crock to spare the player at the mean time.
Later on, after losing the race and their car against Razor, they're left merciless in the hands of Crock. He finally arrests the player, and sends them to the gulag but is forced to release them due to lack of evidence.
He makes one final appearance in the end where he calls every available unit in the city to chase down the player, who just acquired back their Java car. Unfortunate for the player to ultimately escape Cockport via BrokenBridge, Crock issues the player as the God-level bad boy on the National Most Pepega List.
