1	'''Basic Trope''': Ageless Faceless Gender Neutral Culturally Ambiguous Adventure Person.
2	* '''Straight''': You can choose the MC's face, name, species, and gender.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': You cannot select any traits for the MC. The other characters skillfully avoid referring to the MC's name, gender, age, or species for the entire game.
4	* '''Downplayed''': The hero has a few features that are constant, such as being tan from the place they live or having scars from battle, but the rest of it is up to the player.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** It's supposed to make it feel like the main characters are your army/friends/children.
7	** The player character is a shapeshifter of some sorts, so he/she/it doesn't have a clearly defined appearance.
8	** The main character is permanently sealed into a bulky suit of armor and unable to remove their helmet to show their face.
9	** The player character works in an extremely hazardous environment that necessitates wearing protective gear, including a protective suit and mask. Because most of the game takes place in this environment, they never get a chance to remove them.
10	** The game is played entirely in the first person, preventing the player from seeing themselves.
11	* '''Inverted''': You can't chose much about the game because of {{Railroading}}.
12	* '''Subverted''': They're not the real heroes. They're a group the heroes brought together to help them on a dangerous mission.
13	* '''Double Subverted''': You can pick the heroes too - you can also make more groups like that.
14	* '''Parodied''':
15	** Each one is literally an ArtificialHuman made by their "adoptive father", each from the DNA of his dead quintuplets. This also explains why they're identical except possibly in gender.
16	** Their species change with the jobs, by the same process the JobSystem works.
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': Some groups you can use are preset, some aren't.
18	* '''Averted''':
19	** You can't pick anything about the heroes.
20	** Your choices for making/introducing the heroes are limited to the most basic of things such as gender and name.
21	* '''Enforced''': The developers want an MC that can be relatable to anyone.
22	* '''Lampshaded''': "Hello, Mister...Miss...sorry, what's your gender? Not to be rude, but you look extremely androgynous and generic."
23	* '''Invoked''': ???
24	* '''Exploited''': The heroes use their AdaptiveAbility to trump over situations that would be far more difficult for a conventional adventurer.
25	* '''Defied''': The MC becomes self-aware and chooses a name and gender for themself, independent of the player's choices.
26	* '''Discussed''': ???
27	* '''Conversed''': ???
