Player Character

A player character (PC) is a central figure in video games, tabletop games, or role-playing games that players control directly. This character embodies the player's choices, actions, and personality within the game world. Players typically develop their character’s abilities, backstory, and appearance, allowing for a personalized gaming experience. As the main avatar, the player character interacts with the environment, completes quests, and engages with other characters, driving the narrative forward. In essence, the player character serves as the player's representation within the game's storyline and mechanics.
