11	[[folder:The Player]]
12
13	The player assumes the role of a teenager in Zadar, that begins their apprentice eve. Being the player's character they can be of any gender, wear any clothes that the player chooses.
14
15	----
16	* ActionSurvivor: Most ''definitely'', their most amazing feat being [[spoiler:surviving the Tucma airship crash and ''then'' surviving the harsh wastelands and as a fugitive. They also participated in the Kisiwa-Belsoto War as a major figure]].
17	* ActionGirl: If they happen to be female.
18	* BadassNormal: They don't have any superpowers or anything, but they are seen being able to accomplish badass feats like rock hopping, rock climbing, or even surfing over acid water.
19	* TheBeastmaster: Comes naturally as a temtem tamer.
20	* CharacterCustomization: The player is fully customizable at the start of the game. They may also purchase accessories and the like from boutiques.
21	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Has a tendency to help whoever they come into contact to. They may lampshade this once in a while.
22	* DeadpanSnarker: Dialogue options give the protagonist plenty of opportunities to be snarky.
23	* FightMagnet: Seems to be a prominent part of the temtem universe. Just walking out into some grass will pull you into a fight.
24	* FosterKid: They are a foster kid under Aina's care.
25	* HappilyAdopted: They are happily fostered by Aina in Zadar. Happiness averted slightly if the player answers 'It's complicated.' when referring to their relationship with Aina.
26	* HeroProtagonist: Yup.
27	* HeroicFatigue: By the start of the Cipanku storyline, they may remark how tired and stressed they've become due to the incredible burden put on their shoulders.
28	* HypercompetentSidekick: They act as Carlos' partner for the Belsoto hunt, but the player is a much stronger tamer.
29	* InvincibleHero: Has a reputation of being an unbeatable tamer.
30	* ItsAllMyFault: May blame themselves for not being able to [[spoiler:make Max see reason and for his death]]. They may also blame themselves for [[spoiler:causing Max to join the Belsoto Clan in the first place]].
31	* JustAKid: The picture of this.
32	* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: After most players' [[spoiler:[[CurbStompBattle defeat at the hands of General X]]]] — that is, unless you ''do'' manage to defeat him.
33	* ParentalAbandonment: It's not clear what happened to the player's biological parents.
34	* PlayerCharacter: If it wasn't already clear, this is you.
35	* PrestigiousPlayerTitle: In-Universe example. They gain the title of [[spoiler:'Special Agent of the Congress' after the Kisiwa-Belsoto War]].
36	** Each player can earn individual titles to be displayed with their name as well.
37	* SpannerInTheWorks: Goes on a journey throughout the Archipelago for the purpose of defeating the Dojo Masters, but after the first encounter with Belsoto in Windward Fort, the player becomes the biggest obstacle to them and ends up being the one to end Clan Belsoto for good after so many years.
38	* TalkingToThemself: Does this a ''lot''. So much so, that it's lampshaded a few times.
39	* ThinkingOutLoud: Most of their inner dialogue is in parenthesis, but sometimes it appears they acutally say their thoughts out loud.
40	* TrueCompanions: With their temtem team.
41	* VagueAge: It's unclear how old the Player actually is. Children refer to the player as a 'grown up' and adults refer to them as just 'kids'. A dialogue tree in a questline in Cipanku seems to imply that they're either 12, 14, or 17 years old depending on player choice.
42	* WorldsBestWarrior: One of the best tamers in the present day.
