What do you want in a protagonist?

There’s a thread in the “adult-content” group about what kind of romantic options we’d like to see in a CS game. It’s a fun topic, and not too “adult.” I recommend checking it out. It got me thinking though. I’m much more interested in who I get to be in a game than who I get to romance. So I thought I’d ask here what kind of protagonists we’d like to see in CS games. What kinds of choices about your character are important to you? What kind of options would you like to see within those choice…

How would people feel about a defined protagonist

So normally in the series we go wild about choice but it also makes me think of the old actual Choose Your Own Adventure games where some of them you really did play an incredibly to define character. You still doing today’s gaming so how would people feel about playing the fine Persona in a choice of game series?

Also echoing what @Nocturnal_Stillness said. You can have a set background or other predefined features about your protagonist and still offer enough choices so that the players don’t feel confined/still enjoy playing as this particular character.

Stories like Samurai of Hyuga and Fallen Hero are popular and have a pretty concrete character background for the MCs.
