What is a video game character?
A video game character is a fictional person or creature in a game, and the one a player controls is called the player character. Modern 3D games present their heroes in detailed key art and loading screens with dramatic light and vast landscapes. This effect puts your face into that kind of key art; it creates a picture, not a playable character.

What does the video game character look like?
The video game character looks like key art for an original open-world adventure game: a high-end 3D render, rugged gear with a utility jacket, light armor pieces, gloves and a backpack, a determined expression, and a cliff above a vast fantasy valley with golden-hour volumetric light. The face, skin tone, hair color and age stay yours; there are no weapons, menus or logos.
