    Concept »

    Any character you can control in a game is a Player Character (PC), as opposed to a non-player character (NPC), which is a character that can only be controlled by the game.

    Overview

    No Caption Provided

    The player character is inarguably the most important character in many video games. He or she is the in-game representative of the player's own self, and is subject to their commands.

    The first player character with a distinct name was Pac-Man, in Namco's Pac-Man franchise, which originated in the arcades.
