Let’s be honest, we all want to play as Jason, which has actually created a drawback but I’ll get to that later. There is a Customization setting that allows you to pick who you would rather play as Jason, a Counselor, or a third option that basically says it doesn’t matter to you. You can be the machete-wielding bad ass supreme. In the multi-player online game you can play as either a counselor or Jason.
