Good pizza, great pizza!

Image: Nazir looks like a classic film noir detective. His hair is pulled back into a ponytail and he wears sunglasses. He wears a long, formal trench coat with a raised collar and a fedora hat that slightly covers his face. He is sometimes seen with his hair loose and curly, and without sunglasses.
Personality: Mysterious, serious, and professional. He always speaks to the point, values ​​discretion, and often appears at the most unexpected moments—for example, right before the pizzeria closes.

In Chapter 4, Nazir first appears as a mysterious customer at the very end of the workday. He places a vague order (he can have any pizza he wants made) and leaves a generous tip in return. It is later revealed that he is an undercover agent working for the World Pizza Association (WPA) intelligence agency. He helps the player investigate the shady dealings of Big Data Pizza (BDP) and their robot, Megabyte, who is stealing recipes from local pizzerias.

In Chapter 5, his role becomes even more significant. After the heist at the Z-Arena, Nazir officially leads the investigation into the theft of the ancient test. He becomes your primary contact: via a special app on your tablet (MyPad), you can call Nazir, show him the evidence you've found (pieces of stone tablets, casts, an old pizza cutter), and interrogate suspects with his help.

Television often reports on pizza news in the city of pizza, tells facts about it, and if there are tournaments, they always warn and monitor the developments.

Fair skin, brown eyes with prominent eyelashes, and thin brown eyebrows. Long dark brown hair is neatly braided in front to resemble a laurel wreath, and in the back it is tied into a braided ponytail. Octavia wears a long, elegant white dress with vertical stripes. A corporate name badge with her name is pinned to her left chest. A wide gorget collar drapes over her shoulders, a gold belt cinches her waist, and two gold bracelets on each arm. She wears gold earrings in the shape of laurel branches, each with five leaves.
Personality: Professional and serious: As the Guardian of Tsarena, she treats ancient traditions and artifacts with deep reverence. Her speech is reserved, matter-of-fact, and respectful. Octavia strives to hold a fair culinary tournament, but her true motives and thoughts remain a mystery to those around her. The player realizes this when they find her personal journal on their desk—the entries reveal that behind her outward demeanor lies inner struggles and strict control over the investigation. When the Ancient Dough is stolen, she doesn't panic, but immediately organizes an official investigation, bringing in Detective Nazir and the player themselves.
Before Chapter 5, Octavia, along with archaeologist Cicero, went to excavate the ancient ruins of Pomperonia. There, they discovered the legendary Ancient Dough, which once belonged to the ancient Roman emperor Julius Cheddar. Octavia decided to try a piece of this dough, after which the emperor's spirit took control of her mind. Under the influence of Julius Cheddar's essence, Octavia becomes fanatically devoted to the idea of ​​reviving his culinary empire. The entire story of holding a tournament in Tsarena was just a cover to lure the best bakers. To save Octavia from this pernicious influence, you need to collect all the fragments of the ancient stone tablet and then use the freezing artifact given to you by Buddy (he will bring his polar bear friend). Then, freeze the dough in Keh's cool oven.

Rufus Goldworthy
Before Success (Chapters 1–2): He looks like a typical homeless person. He has long, unkempt, and dirty brown hair, a thick, unkempt beard, and a mustache. Rufus is wearing an old, worn gray hoodie that looks dirty and tattered. His face is tired, and there are bags under his eyes.
After Success (Chapter 3 and beyond): Rufus undergoes a complete transformation. He trims his hair neatly, slicks it back, and tidies up his beard—it now looks very stylish and well-groomed. He begins wearing an expensive, perfectly tailored classic suit: a dark blue or gray jacket, a crisp white shirt, and a neat tie. He sports an expensive watch, and the confident smile of a successful businessman graces his face.
He has a specific business idea (the ZaZoom app), and he persistently seeks opportunities to implement it, using his intellect. Polite and Humble: Even when hungry and destitute, he never brazenly demands food. He asks for help very tactfully, always sincerely thanks for any flatbread, and feels awkward about having to beg. Honest and Grateful: Rufus has impeccable business ethics. After receiving money from a player, he doesn't disappear. As soon as his startup takes off, he immediately returns to personally thank his first investor. He repays the debt with interest, proving that he appreciates the kindness and trust of others. Optimist: Despite his difficult circumstances and life on the streets, he never loses faith that his idea will change the world (and ultimately, he does succeed in upending the pizza delivery market).

(I think that's her name, sometimes I just call her Plant Girl)

Eleanor is an incredibly kind, wise, calm, and supportive woman. She truly loves plants and believes that caring for them makes people better. She never gets angry, leaves bad reviews, and is always there to help your business grow.
Chapter 1 (Meeting and Eggplant): She comes right at the beginning of the game (on Day 4) and offers you a deal: you make her a free pizza (any kind), and in exchange, she'll give you a pot of eggplant. If you water it every day, she'll return in a few days, ask for an eggplant pizza, and permanently unlock this ingredient in the shop for you. Chapter 3 (Investigation):
When the confrontation with Dr. Keh begins in Chapter 3, Eleanor helps you decipher hidden clues related to his suspicious secret test powder.
Chapters 4 and 5 (Full Garden): In later chapters, her role becomes even more important. She unlocks the Garden (in the backyard or rooftop), teaches you how to tend to the garden beds, and regularly supplies you with free seeds for growing basil, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and other fresh produce.

Good Pizza, Excellent Pizza is a popular and cozy cooking simulator in which the player runs his own pizzeria.

Megabyte's appearance:
TV head: Instead of a face, he has an old square monitor screen that displays simple pixelated facial expressions, text, and graphic symbols.
Its metal body is triangular in shape, reminiscent of a slice of pizza. On the left side of its chest is a small screen that displays its pulse or heart rate monitor readings.
Personality: Dutiful Spy (in the beginning): Megabyte is initially programmed by Béchamel to be an obedient tool of industrial espionage. He comes to your pizzeria claiming to need pizza to "recharge his batteries," but in reality, his goal is to copy and steal your unique recipes for the corporation. Naive and straightforward: Megabyte speaks in robotic phrases, produces errors ("does not compute"), and acts rather naive for a spy. If the player refuses to give him their best recipes, the robot gradually suffers a system failure. He begins to analyze his code, realizes that it is being used for theft, and goes off to "fix" his program. After defeating Miss Béchamel, Megabyte completely changes. He frees himself from her control, becomes friendly, genuinely loyal, and begins working for you, helping automatically and instantly fulfill the most complex orders once a day.

Appearance: She is a short woman with dark skin. She has a distinctive "safari explorer" style. Cicero wears a protective khaki explorer helmet with a pizza-shaped badge, revealing short, bright red feathers underneath. She wears round glasses, a one-piece khaki jumpsuit with patch pockets, a black belt with a pouch on her waist, and a bright orange tie.
Personality: A very secretive, distrustful, and dedicated woman. Cicero owns her own pizzeria and is a professional gardener (she is the one who gives the player zucchini seeds in the story). Her character appears withdrawn and distant, as she bears the burden of secrets from her past. Her family and ancestors are a sensitive topic for her, and she becomes extremely angry if anyone tries to denigrate her lineage. She is capable of taking risky steps to protect close friends (such as her friend Octavia), but she also values ​​honesty. If the player proves their good intentions to her and does not turn her in to the police, she will open up and volunteer to help solve the main case of Chapter 5.

Flash Appearance: He's a guy of average height (around 173 cm) with dark skin. He has short brown hair, wide eyebrows, and a noticeable round nose. He almost always keeps his face hidden, wearing a gray cap with the hood of a dark sweatshirt pulled over it. He looks like a typical reserved street teenager or self-taught detective.
Personality: A secretive, independent, but very smart and efficient guy. Sometimes a bit silly, but overall, a typical teenager. He often takes on dubious street work and surveillance for money (for example, for Cicero in Chapter 5). He might rob your cash register at night if you're distracted. However, if you gain his trust, he might help you investigate something.

Alicante
Appearance: A large, stocky man with a very bushy black mustache and thick eyebrows. He wears a classic chef's uniform with his signature apron. He always has a very lively, emotional facial expression. Personality: A funny and charismatic "first enemy." At the beginning of the game, he is a loud, boastful, and arrogant competitor who tries to goad the player. However, Alicante is completely inept at lying or hiding his emotions. Deep down, he is a good-natured, honest, and sensitive person who, over time, develops respect for the player and becomes their good friend.

Dr. Keh (Michael Keh) Appearance: A middle-aged man with blue hair and fine features. He has a keen, slightly mischievous gaze. He wears an immaculately clean professional chef's jacket. He appears very neat and well-groomed.
Personality: The main rival of the 3rd chapter. Extremely self-confident, vain, and egotistical. Kekh considers himself an unrivaled genius and genuinely cannot bear to lose, chalking up any victory to himself. Unlike Alicante, he is more cunning: capable of deceiving clients for personal gain, but at the same time, he can recognize a player's strengths if they truly surpass him, albeit with a grumbling tone.

Angelique Béchamel Appearance: A tall, sophisticated woman with a very cool, businesslike style. She has fair skin, a neat short pixie cut, and dark brown hair. She almost always wears her large dark green sunglasses and massive pearl earrings. She dresses in a formal dark blue business suit.
Personality: The main antagonist of Chapter 4. A calculating, arrogant, cold-blooded, and pragmatic businesswoman. She believes solely in numbers, automation, and the power of her corporation, Big Data Pizza (BDP). She despises traditional manual labor, considering the player's pizzeria "outdated."

Appearance: A classic vagabond of average height. He has dark skin, a thick, scraggly beard, and long dark hair. He wears worn, slightly dirty clothes: a gray sweater and a brown jacket with torn sleeves. His face often shows weariness or sadness.
Personality: Very modest, polite, and deeply grateful. He never demands food by force and is always genuinely happy when you help him for free. Buddy is an honest and reliable friend. He usually comes to pick up pizza before closing time so as not to scare customers.

If you help him, he will become a trainer in the circus and will give you money for the food he took from you.
