| | Player character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A player character or playable character (PC) is a fictional character in a game who is controlled or controllable by the player. | | | In computer role-playing games, player characters and playable characters are also known as avatars, and almost always serve as the game's protagonist. | | | Contrast with a non-player character (NPC), a character controlled by the gamemaster or, in the case of games that do not use gamemasters, by the game itself. |

| | Player Character |
| | In contrast to player characters, a non-player character (NPC) is a character in an RPG that is not controlled by one of the players. | | | A player character is a character in a role-playing game that represents one of the players. | | | The player character takes the place of the actual player in the game. |

| | Non-player character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The term non-player character is also used in computer role-playing games to describe entities not under the direct control of players. | | | In the Champions game (and related games using the Hero System), a character may have a DNPC, or "dependent non-player character." This is a character controlled by the GM, but for which the player character is responsible in some way, and who may be put in harm's way by the PC's choices. | | | A non-player character or non-playable character (NPC) is a character in a role-playing game whose actions are determined by the gamemaster. |

| | Gamasutra - Features - "Player Character Concepts" [11.08.99] |
| | More specifically, a game character is a vehicle for playing the game; the means through which the game shows the player the game-world's responses to his presence. | | | The character's mechanical abilities and his fictional background were both relevant to the player's enjoyment of the game - the former to game play and puzzles, the latter to imagination and story immersion. | | | The fact that the player was a space marine and that someone had opened a portal to hell was in many ways less relevant than the game's excellent game-play elements. |

| | single player: Information From Answers.com |
| | A "single player game" usually implies a game where this mode is the only or main option, while "single player mode" usually refers to the single player mode of a game where a multiplayer mode also exists. | | | The vast majority of console games and arcade games are designed so that they can be played by a single player; although many of these games have modes that allow two or more players to play (not necessarily simultaneously), very few actually require more than one player for the game to be played. | | | In card games, solitaire is the name given to single player games. |

| | Role-playing games tend to have player characters in a reactive mode of play. | | | The players are often quite creative in how they solve the problems they are presented with, but the situation and goal are both set up by the GM. | | | Proactive play means that the players invent a plan of action which was not set up by the GM. |

| | Having a player with two characters in a scene can be a logistical problem, as other players can feel overwhelmed with a player with two outputs. | | | In Ars Magica, for example, players are expected to play a troupe of characters at different social levels, it is an integral part of the game by design. | | | Although it is a game, and a collaborative one at that, it can be daunting to deal with an active, aggressive player who has an extra set of hands in a scene, be it political, social,or a combat. |

| | Just as the non-player characters will define the world the player characters live in, use the player characters to define the world of the non-player characters. | | | There is a tendency, sometimes, to treat your non-player characters as automaton that exist solely to go up against the player characters. | | | Morality (3d6): This measures the character’s moral code, or how far the character is willing to go to get what he or she wants. |
