Tag

Tag is the main protagonist of ModNation Racers. He is classified as an Elite Mod, and you race with him as the default character.

In the Career Mode

Jez, one of two female Elite Mods, seems to have mischief chemistry (maybe even rivals), as in the Grand Tour, they pull pranks on each other. Examples are Jez bumping Tag out of place in the Mt. Pain pre-race cutscene and Tag bumping Jez at the rear in Breakwater as he waves at the crowd. His interests involve spray-painting and racing. His mother owns a paint shop, and a friend of her's, the Chief, directs him in races. The only exception is for the time where Tag's Crew Chief gets injured from an explosion and Uncle Richard coaches him (PS3 version only). His uncle, Richard Short works at Conservative Motors and he turns out to be the one who caused the Chief's accident, so Tag would sponsor him.

Appearance

Tag wears red and black goggles on his head (on both sides says UFG), he has purple eyes and wears a grey shirt and pants with paint on them. He wears two rings on his fingers (one on his thumb on his left and one on his index on his right). He also wears lightning shoes.

Trivia

• He is sometimes called Tagger early in the Career Mode by the Crew Chief.
• Tag is portrayed as a mute protagonist, a common trait with many main characters, but mostly due to the fact that he can be changed later on.
• During the Grim Tour, Tag is forced into a different outfit when under his uncle's contract with Conservative Motors. He also uses a fixed kart that is given by Richard Short.
• In the beta version of ModNation Racers (including the intro to the released game), Tag is light blue (the default color for the skin he is using), rather than a light yellow.
