What do you want in a protagonist?

Since this thread doesn’t seem about the MCs appearance customization I’ll avoid talking about that.
No total blank slate for me either but leave me place to create the MC I would like to play.
I mean a preset backstory explaining where the MC came from is preferred, but I like more freedom with my MCs personality and I’d expect this to appear in game and not to be left to my imagination as the case is with blank slate MCs used in older CYOA books/games based on those.
Also as it was already discussed in another thread I’d want my MC to be on te same level as the NPCs regarding how interestingly they are written. No Awerage Joe who is just out of place among all the other more impressive NPCs, but also not a too overpowered one compared to everyone else just bc they are the MC.
