Featureless Protagonist	comment	In an attempt to reinforce the notion that the player of the game "is" the Player Character, most early games went out of their way to avoid applying any characterization to the player character. More often than not, a thorough examination of the game will cause this to break down as providing any kind of substantial interaction with a player character who is a cipher is problematic. Most often, the first thing to slip through will be a tacit assumption that the character is male. Less common in its extreme form today, as it makes anything like compelling storytelling highly problematic. Much easier to achieve in Interactive Fiction, for the same reason that text is better suited to the Tomato Surprise, and to this day, many text games still take this approach, and enthusiasts have been known to be disappointed if forced to play a character who does not reflect their gender or sexual orientation. On the other hand, this can make for some very bland interactions, as the player character must be all possible people of all possible identities at once without ever being any one of them at any given moment. Beyond adventures, most games at least need to graphically present the player, so some amount of customization is required. The result is often an extended form of Purely Aesthetic Gender, with little additional influence on the story. A weaker form of this attempt results in the Heroic Mime. Often used in conjunction with Second-Person Narration. Media which try to put a definite name and face on the protagonist result in Canon Name. In most Real-Time Strategy games, the player is either a Featureless Protagonist or just a Non-Entity General who directs the action but doesn't even have a character. This tends to cause problems when the work gets adapted to other media. One solution is to give the character in question as generic and bland a personality as possible. The other is to remove them completely. Often overlaps with Audience Surrogate. Compare also Reader-Insert Fic, which often features such a protagonist.

But at the end of Madame Fate, the character's voice is heard speaking on the telephone, revealing that the Master Detective is in fact a woman. In the Collector's Edition of Fate's Carnival, you can collect bobbleheads of many characters throughout the series. The Master Detective bobblehead is masked and wears a full-length overcoat, making for a very generic figure. Dire Grove, Sacred Grove provides the option of playing the Master Detective as male or female while conversing with the characters.

Featureless Protagonist / int_2400518e	comment	This has a tendency to come up with varying degrees in Rainbow Six Siege due to abundance of playable characters who wear bulky armor and masks that can make it hard to tell what they look like. Some of them we only really know their appearance because of cosmetics (usually a legendary skin), and some still don't have a canonical face. Some notable examples: All four of the SAS operators wear gas masks that conceal their face. Thatcher is the only one whose appearance has been completely revealed note due to his elite skin and his appearance in "The Hammer and the Scalpel". Enough of Sledge's head is visible to see that he is bald, but his specific facial features are still obscured. There was nothing to indicate Smoke's appearance until his first elite skin was released (and even then it only indicates that he has dark hair). We have yet to see any indication of what Mute looks like, and the only real clues to his personality are in his profile. The most extreme case is probably NÃ¸kk. We know she is female, but her appearance is entirely concealed beneath both a mask and a veil. Her in-game profile lists her real name as "classified" and only provides a vague outline of her backstory and personal life.

There are a few books, however, where the history and/or illustrations consistently portray the protagonist as a tomboyish girl. Mystery of the Maya as well as The Magic of the Unicorn are two. Jay Liebold's Mystery of the Ninja series starts with a protagonist drawn as a boy with a ponytail, but the following titles made said main character a long-haired girl. Fight for Freedom is set in apartheid-era South Africa, and with your dark skin a few bad things happen.

Featureless Protagonist / int_28b53408	comment	FEAR's lead protagonist, Point Man, is, aside from being specified to be male, basically a Featureless Protagonist. This is actually practically canon, considering that he is later revealed to be one of two attempts at a psychic commander birthed by Alma, with no memory and no name beyond the "Point Man" identifier; the other members of his team were even told to not ask questions about him. The third game finally revealed his appearance, but he still never speaks or shows much emotion aside from rage. Beckett from Project Origin is in mostly the same boat, only having a confirmed name and vaguely-defined appearance over the Point Man, though he does reappear in the back half of the third game, with a speaking role.

The only things explicitly stated are the feelings on her and Jake's relationship, with virtually nothing revealed about her past, appearance, or independent thoughts.

Featureless Protagonist / int_2ece28f3	comment	Emily Is Away is an "interactive story" that takes place entirely over AOL Instant Messenger, so naturally we never see what the protagonist (or anyone else for that matter) looks like. Nothing about your character's gender or appearance is ever mentioned, but it is defined that you start the story as a high school senior and end it as junior in college. You get to pick both a screen name and the first name or nickname Emily will address you as note or let the program pick one or both out or a randomized list, and the dialogue avoids using third person pronouns or any other language that would imply gender. However, whether you pick a male or female name, your character is canonically attracted to females, since the plot has you romantically pursuing Emily and another girl named Emma at different points.

Featureless Protagonist / int_2ffcbd43	comment	Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade does this, too. You're a wandering tactician, and you meet one of the main characters before the first fight. Of course, after the prologue chapters, you're rarely mentioned. In fact, you can actually choose to not have a tactician, in which case the sprite will not appear on the map and the characters will not address you. However, this also means that Athos won't give you the Afa's Drops (a very good item that is almost a must to use on characters like Nino), because he normally hands them to the tactician personally! Otherwise, the differences are fairly minor. The exceptions are New Mystery of the Emblem, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Fire Emblem Fates. My Unit/The Avatar can either be a boy or a girl, and their looks are freely customized by the player. In New Mystery their fighting class can be chosen, and in Awakening and Fates they have their own Classes: Tactician (which is similar to Magic Knight) in the first and Nohr Prince/Princess (which includes swords and Dragonstones) in the second. The Awakening/Fates avatars even have love interests whom they can marry and have kids with, including the main Lord Chrom in Awakening if the Avatar is a girl. And yet in the love confessions and the plot-important CGs describing their in-story position as the Soul Jar of Grima (Awakening) and the Child of Two Worlds (Fates), the Avatar's face is never clearly shown. When the Avatars of both Awakening and Fates were revealed as fighters for Smash 4, he/she used the default appearance and name (Robin and Corrin, respectively).

One being that all of your guild members have absolutely no background, name, gender, or anything; it's up to you to give them a class, a face (which also defines their gender), and a name. The other occurrence would be the guild leader; being impersonated by the player, they even only get vaguely mentioned in the beginning as one of many daring explorers who are willing to challenge the labyrinth. And the games seem to assume that it's a "he".

The game files of Half-Life 2 don't contain a character model or skin for Freeman at all: since there are no reflective surfaces or (legitimately accessible) third person perspective, the player never gets to actually see anything but his arms. In the early (or just pirated) version of the game it was possible to look at your PC head, which revealed a mannequin face not actually covered in textures. The only official depiction of Freeman's facial appearance is on the game's box art until Half-Life: Alyx finally shows Gordon in-game, though even then he's in near-darkness (albeit fully modeled). In Half-Life: Opposing Force the player controls the HECU marine Adrian Shepard. We're told at the beginning of the game his age and gender, but we never get a good look at his face due to the first-person perspective, and official artwork related to the game always depicts him wearing a gas mask that prevents us from seeing what he actually looks like.

However, he and the other members his family all remain faceless and nameless, which ironically contrasts with his job being largely about closely scrutinizing other people's names and faces. If your wife is still alive by the last few days, she finds a family photo.

Featureless Protagonist / int_49aa2aa4	comment	Ace Combat: Subverted in Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. The Player Character turns out to be an AI, and the entire setting of the game is an in-universe simulation. All those planes you flew? They were never real, and even if they were, they'd be unmanned. The point of the simulation was to see if you would assassinate a particular person regardless of other circumstances, which indeed happens in every route (even the ones where you supposedly side with him, instead). While hints to this exist in every ending, it's only fully spelled out in the Omega Ending, just minutes before your "character's" creator deletes you and sets out to unleash a fresh copy of your program on the real world. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War comes really close to revealing the player character's face. The one thing that stood in its way? Chopper's elbow. Happens again in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. During the mission briefing for Mission 10, when the briefing is over, the pilotsâ€™ reflections can be seen leaving the room. As theyâ€™re leaving, McKinsey adresses Trigger, and one of those pilots turns around. However a window pop up shows up at the exact time to prevent his face from being seen. Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War makes this a minor plot point. The game's Framing Device is a documentary on the eponymous war ten years afterwards, by a man trying to find out more about the player character and being completely incapable of finding anything concrete other than that he was an insanely skilled pilot.

The Awakening/Fates avatars even have love interests whom they can marry and have kids with, including the main Lord Chrom in Awakening if the Avatar is a girl. And yet in the love confessions and the plot-important CGs describing their in-story position as the Soul Jar of Grima (Awakening) and the Child of Two Worlds (Fates), the Avatar's face is never clearly shown.

Featureless Protagonist / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Played with in Undertale: You name the fallen child at the beginning of the game and control a child who is a Featureless Protagonist; however, the child you name and the child you control are actually two separate characters. The child you control has no backstory or traits (besides being "determined") other than their true name "Frisk" which is only discovered at the end of the Pacifist route. Meanwhile, the child you name (who has the default name of "Chara") does get a backstory and character traits, though it's arguable who the actual protagonist is between the two. The spin-off Deltarune greatly subverts this with the Player Character, Kris. They initially seem as a Featureless Protagonist; No dialogue, don't express emotions, and shows no personality. However, as The Stingers for both chapters and some other, easy-to-miss pieces of dialogue show, being a quiet kid who rarely shows emotions doesn't mean that Kris doesn't have an agenda of their own, that sometimes might even oppose the player.

One book in the library in the second game hints that the protagonist might be a member of the royal family, but the book is written in a Story Branching style, so it may have nothing to do with the protagonist at all. The games subtly reveal some broad details about the protagonist, though. In the first game, when you come up out of the water, you hear a rather masculine-sounding voice gasping for air. In the second game, the guard in the underworld refuses to let the protagonist go through the door for the dead, proving that the protagonist is not Dead All Along like nearly everyone else in Lala.

Featureless Protagonist / int_6c1d09b2	comment	Fallout 2 does this somewhat to the player character from the first game. There's a journal entry in the manual from the first game's PC talking about what s/he did after getting exiled from Vault 13 which never states his/her name or gender, but does state that s/he eventually settled down and got married...to a spouse of indeterminate gender with an androgynous name. Eventually, the player runs across a statue honoring the character from the first game, but the text on the statue calls the character "he or she."

Featureless Protagonist / int_74f7210c	comment	Link from The Legend of Zelda series was originally meant to be this... in fact, that was the very reason he was named Link, because he was the "link to the gameworld", simply a player avatar. Ironically, he is now one of the most recognizable faces in all of gaming, endlessly tributed and/or parodied. Giving him a distinctive, recurring costume probably didn't help. This is most prevalent in the instruction manuals for A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening which are written using Second-Person Narration rather than referring to Link by name as Link. While Nintendo is still trying to retain some of Link's Featureless Protagonist qualities (the reason he is still a Heroic Mime), he seems to be growing out of this in the later games, especially with regards to his personality. A notable shift is in Twilight Princess where the name Link is pre-entered on the Hello, [Insert Name Here] screen unlike earlier games where there is no default name and the field starts out blank. Taken to the next level in Breath of the Wild where Link's name is set in stone and cannot be changed due to the use of voice acting. While Link is still a silent protagonist, he has a backstory that's more fleshed out compared to his previous incarnations and many of the dialogue options greatly show off Link's personality.

Featureless Protagonist / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: In the original trilogy, the Master Chief John-117 never shows his face, speaks only a handful of lines during cutscenes, and is referred to almost solely by his rank. The one time he takes off his helmet, the camera angle shifts to obscure his face just as he removes it; even when using cheats to keep his head in frame, all we get to see is another helmet! He has a bit more personality than usual examples of this trope, though. His character is heavily expanded on in the expanded universe (particularly the various adaptations of Halo: The Fall of Reach), which also reveal that he is a white man with brown hair, though the only clear visual depictions of his face we ever get are of him as a child. From Halo 4 onward, Chief drifts away from being this, since unlike Bungie, 343 Industries were specifically aiming to explore his personality. He speaks during gameplay as well as cutscenes, and 4's Legendary ending even gives us a brief glimpse of the area around his eyes when he takes off his helmet. Interestingly used as a point of contrast between the protagonists in Halo 5: Guardians. We see the faces of Fireteam Osiris, but all four members of Blue Team (the one commanded by Master Chief) are never seen outside their armor. The Rookie in Halo 3: ODST never removes his helmet or says anything. The only clue about his appearance is his fingers, which are white. His initials are apparently "J.D.", but that seems to be more of a reference to the generic placeholder name "John Doe". He gets a little more characterization in the Halo: Evolutions short story Dirt and the novella Halo: New Blood, but not much. SPARTAN-B312 AKA Noble Six, the protagonist of Halo: Reach, is perhaps the ultimate example of this trope in the series, since the player gets to determine everything about the character from the gender to the appearance of the armor. S/he only speaks a handful lines, and we never get to see even a micrometer of him/her that is not covered in armor - like the Chief, s/he takes off her helmet only once int he game, at the end, with the camera positioned so that we never get a good view of his/her face through the several Elites bearing down on him/her.

You can also tell that Jack is wearing a white sweater. Then it gets weird and you find out the details of your identity. Jack also seems to lack a shadow, but that's an oversight on the developer's part. If you examine the photographs pinned up right outside Ryan's office, you can see Jack's face captured in a couple of them. If you pay attention, you'll notice that Jack is freaking huge, assuming that everything in the game is made for normal human size, he is easily seven feet tall. It does explain how he can convincingly disguise as a Big Daddy. When Jack was given a character model for Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea they also refrained from showing his face, instead emphasizing his sweater. His face is fully modeled, though. In BioShock 2, the protagonist has a name (Subject Delta) and an appearance (Alpha Big Daddy), but lacks any speech or real personality. This becomes particularly notable in the game's opening, where Delta actually removes his helmet, but the first-person perspective prevents us from seeing what he looks like underneath. You can find out Delta is a character that's only referenced in audio logs from before Rapture went to hell. However, the details of this character is kept vague outside that he's a man who went deep sea diving as an occupation for lost ships and planes and accidentally found Rapture by chance. It's even noted the name given may not be his birth name. Also seemingly invoked with Subject Sigma in Minerva's Den. Like Subject Detla, Sigma is an Alpha Big Daddy whose features are concealed in a diving suit, and he doesn't speak due to the vocal chord surgery that is is performed on Big Daddies. He doesn't seem to have much personality either, and in fact seems to have even less of a backstory than Delta. This is ultimately subverted with the reveal that Sigma is Charles Milton Porter, a character we've gotten to know in detail throughout the campaign.

Of course, after the prologue chapters, you're rarely mentioned. In fact, you can actually choose to not have a tactician, in which case the sprite will not appear on the map and the characters will not address you. However, this also means that Athos won't give you the Afa's Drops (a very good item that is almost a must to use on characters like Nino), because he normally hands them to the tactician personally! Otherwise, the differences are fairly minor.

In contrast to previous protagonists, The Deputy's appearance and gender is left up to the player, with the only non-player determined characteristics about The Deputy being that they hardly speak and are The Ace. In Far Cry: New Dawn, the player plays as the righthand man/woman of Rush's Task Force, with their customization options being lifted directly from 5. The Deputy also reappears in New Dawn as The Judge, wearing a thick leather coat and a mask to make their gender difficult to be distinguished and speak in grunts.

All those planes you flew? They were never real, and even if they were, they'd be unmanned. The point of the simulation was to see if you would assassinate a particular person regardless of other circumstances, which indeed happens in every route (even the ones where you supposedly side with him, instead). While hints to this exist in every ending, it's only fully spelled out in the Omega Ending, just minutes before your "character's" creator deletes you and sets out to unleash a fresh copy of your program on the real world.

Featureless Protagonist / int_959e6c9	comment	The original release of Dragon Quest IV allowed the player to select a name and gender for their ultimate main character (though unusually, you wouldn't actually get the character until very late into the game, and so could easily be confused when the game first has you playing someone else). However, this breaks down at many points, especially in bath scenes that have decidedly (and presumably unintentional) Les Yay overtones if you're playing a female character. The DS version of Dragon Quest IV lets you choose your name and gender again, with some of these incidents corrected. They also added a 'Prologue' that lets you see your hero briefly before the main game begins. Dragon Quest III also allowed you to pick the name and gender of not just your hero, but the rest of your allies. Again, in the original translation of the NES game, several referred to you as 'Ortega's son' — starting with the king himself. This was corrected in later versions, though. Corrected with a Lampshade Hanging: "Ortega's Son... er, I mean, Daughter!" Dragon Quest IX lets you customize pretty much everything about your hero's (and his/her companions') appearance... and then forces you to don a suit of "Dragon Warrior Armor" whose mask covers your face for a climactic battle and cutscene late in the game!

Featureless Protagonist / int_9a8bf274	comment	In the Command & Conquer games, the player is only ever addressed as Commander/Comrade General (or other appropriate rank). In fact, the original game played as if the game was an actual command interface and the characters addressed the player directly, though subtext with your female assistants in later games assumes Most Gamers Are Male. There are some exceptions though: Tiberian Sun actually has a specific player character who's seen in cutscenes: Anton Slavik for Nod, and Michael "Mac" McNeil for GDI. James Earl Jones' character in the same game, General James Solomon, was retroactively the GDI player character from Tiberian Dawn. The Firestorm expansion went back to the usual, with the returning Slavik and newcomer Lieutenant General Paul Cortez addressing you directly in cutscenesnote McNeil didn't return, for unknown reasons - the GDI campaign starts off with his command ship crashing in an ion storm, but he's not actually shown or referred to as being aboard it before it goes down, and the novelization of the third game has him still alive and doing his thing in the Third Tiberium War, nearly two decades after Firestorm. In the initial mission of Kane's Wrath, it's implied that the Nod Commander in Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars proper is supposed to be one of the grunts down on the field, while at the end it's revealed that you are LEGION, successor to the mad AI that is CABAL. Your character in Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight appears to be male, inferred from dialogue with the (still nameless) Commander's wife Lily, and your undergoing plastic surgery to resemble Kane during the story.

They initially seem as a Featureless Protagonist; No dialogue, don't express emotions, and shows no personality. However, as The Stingers for both chapters and some other, easy-to-miss pieces of dialogue show, being a quiet kid who rarely shows emotions doesn't mean that Kris doesn't have an agenda of their own, that sometimes might even oppose the player.

It's not even explicitly clear which gender the Player Character is; while the cover art and third person images of the Beta Suit seem to indicate the player is male, and they are shown to have a sexual relationship with Dr. Foster, the idea that the player may be a Butch Lesbian has been floated more than once online, made worse by the fact nobody uses gendered pronouns to describe the player character.

Featureless Protagonist / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: In general in the series, you are free to customize your protagonist in terms of race, sex, class, appearance, etc. Any games which reference a past game's protagonist (which most frequently occurs within in-game books) will use that character's Red Baron nickname ("The Eternal Champion", "The Emperor's Agent", "The Nerevarine", etc.) while providing as few other details about that character as they can get away with. Each game does offer its own little quirks, however, usually in terms of how this intersects with Protagonist Without a Past. The protagonists from Arena and Daggerfall have the most information available about their pasts of any protagonist in the series, but are still customizable. The Eternal Champion of Arena has also been mentioned as being male in later works, giving a rare confirmation of sex. The Nerevarine of Morrowind is likewise customizable, but does have a few background facts confirmed that make him/her eligible for the Nerevarine prophesy. The Nerevarine was a prisoner, he or she was sent from the Imperial City's prison to Morrowind, there was something special about his or her day of birth ("born on a certain day"), and his or her parents are unknown. A Dunmer Nerevarine wasn't born in Morrowind, either, which still makes him/her to be qualified since the lost prophecies said that the Nerevarine would be an outlander. Skyrim is completely customizable with the only background fact known being that you tried to hop the border in the wrong place at the wrong time. This leads to some goofy scenarios where features about the protagonist are assumed. When a character reacts to your appearance, they generally act as if you're a scrawny, unimposing kid and on the stupid side - even if you made your character look like a muscular grizzled badass and have him equipped in dragon scale or bone armor.note Which you can only get by killing a dragon and crafting the armor yourself because the dragons only just recently returned to Skyrim.

Featureless Protagonist / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: In the Game Boy version of the PokÃ©mon Trading Card Game, the player character portrait is shown as a bust portrait with young, tween-like facial features of ambiguous gender, an ethnically unclear anime look, and hair tied up in a bandanna on the forehead though it's clearly black. PokÃ©mon X and Y is a very straight example. Not only can you choose your gender, name and now your skin color at character creation, but every other part of your trainer is customizable even after that point. Hair color? Sure. Haircut? Why not. Clothing? A dizzying array of options await you, especially once you have access to every city. The clothing options vary so much that it even gets hard to assign an exact age to the protagonists. PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon also follow suit in some ways, though it's toned down overall compared to X and Y, with initial customization being mainly just skin color differences. The clothing and haircut options come into play once you enter your first major city and are added on to. You are however reminded several times that canonically your character is at a set age. The protagonist of PokÃ©mon Red and Blue and their remakes appears in the Super Smash Bros. series as a fighter known simply as "PokÃ©mon Trainer". While said protagonist appears in sequels and spinoffs as an NPC known as "Red" (male) or "Leaf" (female) and is usually given a more defined personality, their Smash depiction is based exclusively on their depiction in the Kanto games, where no traits are given besides their name, gender, hometown and age of 10-11 years old. Furthermore, unlike in other generations, the opposite-gendered Trainer does not appear as an NPC rival.

There is also an in-story reason: the team is still very shaken up by what happened to the previous new recruit so they refuse to learn even your name to avoid emotional attachments. Interestingly, all the Ghostbusters wear easy-to-read nametags on their uniforms. Including the unnamed player character. Thing is, you have to work to see it, because you spend most of the game staring at your characters backside. If you manage to get a good look at it, you'll see it simply says "ROOKIE".

Crazy Dave considers the protagonist a neighbor, so it's also likely that the protagonist owns the (rather nice) house, which means that they are likely to be middle-class. The trailer for Plants Vs Zombies 2 shows Crazy Dave's house, and one framed newspaper clipping says "Crazy man saves world" so one could guess that the player from the original is Dave all along and he's been talking to himself the whole game.

After your name is entered, you say it is cool (burly in Wild World) or cute. What you say will have the other character call you a boy or a girl, and you get a chance to correct them if it's wrong. In the rest of the conversation, your responses determine your actual appearance, which you won't get to see until you arrive at the town. In Happy Home Designer, the game instead starts from the perspective of the animals awaiting your arrival, and Tom Nook has lost your hiring forms, so he has to remember your gender and appearance after asking Lottie for your name, and it's all completely determined by you.

Featureless Protagonist / int_c0d295c4	comment	The Pyro from Team Fortress 2, whose nationality (notable considering s/he's on a team of national stereotypes) and gender are unknown. Never removes that gas mask, is known only by Pyro, and speaks only in muffled grunts. (S)he does have some characterization though. The release of the long awaited "Meet The Pyro" video finally clears up some things. Namely, that the Pyro is completely insane. While the other characters talk of the monstrous engine of destruction that is the Pyro, who even scares the people on his own team, we get to see things from the Pyro's point of view. Apparently, (s)he thinks (s)he's doling out rainbows and love rather than fire and death. Nothing else is learned about the Pyro, as even in his/her own mind, (s)he's still wearing the gasmask. Compounded by the fact that Pyro is alternately referred to as "he" and "she," sometimes within the same sentence. "He's not here, is she?" That can be chalked up to simply Valve trolling everyone. The Scout clearly says "He's not here is he?" in the video, but the transcript uses both pronouns. This video from The Game Theorists analyzes the Pyro's character model and other hints, and determined its likely a homosexual man. But hey, it's just a theory. A Game Theory!

Featureless Protagonist / int_c2463c46	comment	The first and third Final Fantasy games apply all characterization to your whole party; the individual members are completely interchangeable. This is especially true in III, where you can change your characters' very identities at any time through the job system — all they have to call their own are their names (which you chose). This is nodded to in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Onion Knight and Warrior Of Light are called by their class and title, respectively — the Warrior says he doesn't remember his name (because he never had one; it was the player's choice). The DS re-release of III gives all four characters their own names, personalities and backgrounds, and they each have their own character models for every single possible class.

Featureless Protagonist / int_c4a1d59e	comment	Call of Duty games before about Black Ops II have this in effect for most player characters, who never speak and are never seen in third person. One notable exception is 'Soap' MacTavish, who is the primary player character in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, but your squad's commander in Modern Warfare 2, in which he is a fully-modeled and voiced NPC. Modern Warfare 3 is weird with this. Frost, Burns and Harkov are completely featureless (you do see a brief glimpse of Frost's head at the start, but his face is completely covered; even more weirdly, there's a full model for Frost, but it's only used in multiplayer), but Yuri's face is one of the first things you see in the cutscene before his first mission, and you can get another good look at him while remote-controlling a UGV as him in that mission. And, for the final level, you get to control Captain Price instead, with Yuri as an NPC. In Ghosts you play as Logan Walker, who is not seen in-game, and when he is depicted in game-related artwork his face is concealed behind a mask. The same is mostly true with the other characters you play as (some of whom aren't even named), with the possible exception of the flashback level where you play as Elias (though even then, we still don't get to see the younger version who would have been present here).

Nomad, the protagonist of the first game, had lines and a personality but it was very subdued due to him not speaking much. The protagonist of the Expansion Pack, Psycho, received significantly more lines, emotions, and actually had a face compared to Nomad's One-Way Visor in response to criticism of Nomad being completely forgettable.

Featureless Protagonist / int_d18f39b4	comment	Interactive fiction game Jigsaw takes this to extremes: Neither the player nor the main villain is ever referred to by gender-specific terms, but only by the names "White" and "Black" (after their costumes), but are taken to be whichever pair of genders the player is most comfortable with, given their evolving romantic relationship. That said, a number of details from the game have been taken to suggest that the two are almost certainly of opposite genders (you are taken to be a honeymooning couple at a time in history when homosexuality is illegal). It is also possible to provoke responses indicating that both Black and White are male, though this is believed to be a bug. One scene set aboard the train bringing Lenin to Petrograd just before the Russian Revolution requires the player to don the uniform of a British Army officer. However, as many people have pointed out (including the game's author), stories of women passing themselves off as male soldiers in times of war are not uncommon in fiction, nor are they unheard of in reality. Jigsaw's predecessor Curses was very similar in its presentation, but without the romantic aspect involved, the question was not as urgent.

Unlike Myst, however, items don't teleport from the main screen to your inventory and back again—they levitate, as if you're telekinetic. Also of note is that you abruptly stop being a Heroic Mime if you're caught and tortured, but gender neutrality is still preserved—the resultant screaming is barely recognizable as human, let alone male or female. The sequel has you play as the original protagonist's son, Call Lifeson. He hails from planet Evany, has a voice, face, and body. Athera's tablet diary also states that Call's dad was a colonel.

Featureless Protagonist / int_e5da0fa0	comment	In Myst, your Player Character is an invisible First-Person Ghost, and your appearance or gender is never mentioned. Even your name is never specified: Atrus and allies only call you as "my friend," while others only refer to you as a Mysterious Stranger. As the Myst series progresses, with "The Stranger" as the protagonist of most games, players are encouraged to use their imagination and role-play whoever they feel the character should be based on their actions in the game. The series breaks with this principle sometimes, though. Myst IV: Revelation allows you to choose the color of the Hand Cursor you use to interact with the world — and, by implication, your ethnicity/race. The rest is still up to imagination. Word of God places the first four Myst games some two-hundred years in the past, which contradicts the idea that The Stranger is yourself. However, Both Uru and Myst V are set in the present and therefore feature a different protagonist. In Uru, the Player Character is explicitly the player (one interpretation of the title "Uru" is "You Are You"). Word of God has declared that the protagonist of Myst V is Dr. Watson of the D'ni Restoration Council (an NPC in Uru, and the in-universe counterpart of developer Richard A. Watson). Though a non-canon storyline/walkthrough for the original in the Prima Strategy guide alludes the player character as a male photographer from modern day finding the Myst book in a dusty old library which apparently sent him backwards in time. Other than that, the character in the guide is curious, clever, reacts to the few jump scares the game has with obvious results, and is slightly snarky...especially when Sirrus and Achenar start to threaten him into bringing more pages.

During the mission briefing for Mission 10, when the briefing is over, the pilotsâ€™ reflections can be seen leaving the room. As theyâ€™re leaving, McKinsey adresses Trigger, and one of those pilots turns around. However a window pop up shows up at the exact time to prevent his face from being seen.

Featureless Protagonist / int_f858847a	comment	PokÃ©mon X and Y is a very straight example. Not only can you choose your gender, name and now your skin color at character creation, but every other part of your trainer is customizable even after that point. Hair color? Sure. Haircut? Why not. Clothing? A dizzying array of options await you, especially once you have access to every city. The clothing options vary so much that it even gets hard to assign an exact age to the protagonists.

Featureless Protagonist / int_fcf43f47	comment	Fighting Fantasy: Most books never draw your player character and no-one ever remark upon your gender (although the cover art for some of the early American editions would depict a generic male fantasy warrior). Black Vein Prophecy has you wake up in a sarcophagus with no memory; as such, you were some character of significance, and you have to learn about your past over the course of the story, culminating in a fight with the people that put you in the tomb. Appointment with F.E.A.R. is one of the few books where you do have a name, but it turns out to be a Gender-Blender Name, Jean Lafayette, the Silver Crusader. As your character is a superhero in this adventure, the book does show you in a few illustrations, but your cape covers most of your character making identifying the gender impossible.
