Player

From Traxus

The Player is a reference to someone who is actually playing one of the Marathon games. In the Marathon trilogy, the Player controls the player-character. In net levels, multiple players may participate in a game at the same time.

Differences between the Player and the player-character are basically semantical. Within this wiki, the term "player-character" is used to refer to the character of the Security Officer, while "the player" always refers to the person playing the game. This distinction is useful when creating or discussing maps or custom levels.
