Explanation

Someone who joined our game figured out how to play as one of the unplayable characters. There's a way to mess with the game files to be able to play as one of the blocked playable characters. See attached video for more details.
I do not believe that this person did this to be malicious or bypass the rules. I think they did this mainly out of curiosity and just to test if it's even possible.
