This archetype was immensely popular for video game protagonists in the 2000s and early 2010s, but has since become something a DeadHorseTrope. The difference from a FeaturelessProtagonist is that those characters are left without real characterization to let the player project their own ideas onto the character, while the Action Genre Hero Guy follows a very specific set of traits as listed above.
