Player Characters (PCs) are the main characters controlled by players in a game, particularly in role-playing games (RPGs). Each PC typically has unique traits, abilities, and backgrounds that influence their actions and decisions within the game world. Players create and develop their PCs to engage with the story and interact with other characters. In many games, PCs can form teams or groups, often referred to as parties, to tackle challenges and quests together. The choices made by players can affect the game's outcome, making each playthrough unique. PCs often evolve over time, gaining experience and new skills as they progress through the game.
