The Player

The Protagonist, or more commonly, the Player, is the main protagonist and the character that the player control in Wasted Youth. The Player will be stuck in St. Frost's Academy. The Player can wander around the school completing missions and tasks for people, and he aims to seek out the dark truth that St. Frost's Academy holds.
While in control of the Player, you can do many things that you'd normally do in a boarding school: You can eat lunch and dinner, obtain drinks from vending machines, sleep during all 4 periods of the day, go to the bathroom, interact with all your fellow pupils and your teachers, read some fun books and much more.
== Story ==
The Protagonist is about to start the first day of the term at his new home, St. Frost's Academy. He's sent here after being expelled from his previous school because he played too many computer games instead of studying and this is considered as his last chance by his parents.
He's transported by a GP Express bus to his new academy and enters inside with his suitcase of stuff. In the Assembly Hall, Mr Stouffer announces to his students that the new student, the Protagonist (However you decide to name him), has joined them. Mr Stouffer then pursues the discussion of the disappearance of a former student named Thomas, who lasted at St. Frost's for only 2 days since joining due to the unpleasant treatment by other students. When he finishes that statement, Mr Stouffer unexpectedly loses his cool and begins to hurl insults at his students, calling them 'horrible little bastards, slime and vomit'. After that, he takes some pills to calm down and the bell rings, making him let all the children out and encouraging them to go forth and learn.
The Protagonist leaves the Assembly Hall and comes across a small group of boys in the Main Hallway, which consists of Xerxes, Dave, Adrian, Lou, and Nate. The Protagonist gossips about Mr Stouffer, describing him as fruit-loop and also being confused about the boy which was mentioned to have disappeared. Xerxes exclaims that all of the people in this school are worthy of judgment and tells the Protagonist to mind himself, before leaving the conversation and walking off. Nate comes in-eye with Protagonist and confronts him as he'd always do to a new kid, saying that the standards in the school just keep getting worse. Then he tells the Protagonist that he's the one in charge around here. After that everyone leaves, including Nate himself, the Protagonist calls Nate a dickhead and stands there angered. The new face, Dave, sympathizes with this rude statement and explains that other kids look up to Nate for some reason, and suggests the Protagonist to stay out of his way. The Protagonist asks for the curly-haired boy's name and learns that it's Dave. Dave then offers to give the Protagonist a tour around the school if he wants. He accepts his new friend as a tour guide and says that it will be quicker for him to find out 'what this dump has to offer'. Mr Bastard hears these rude words and asks the Protagonist who he's talking to, then demands for the boy to go to a lesson instead of just sitting there. The Protagonist accepts his request, and Mr Bastard leaves him alone. Dave tells the boy not to worry about that teacher and breaks the 4th wall for a bit, giving you, the actual player of the game, most of the hints and tutorials you to know about playing this game. The Protagonist wants to know what to do about the lessons around here and Dave responds that he can avoid lessons altogether, because that's what Dave himself chooses to do. Dave is about to go to the cafeteria and tells the Protagonist it wouldn't bad to wander around the school to get his bearings on the place and then walks off to the cafeteria after giving you this tip. The Protagonist thanks Dave at the end of the conversation and is left to go wherever he wishes.
== Personality ==
The Protagonist is often portrayed as an underdog, a socially inept loner that enjoys playing video games. This is displayed by Nate's first comment to the Protagonist, where he said: "The standards keep getting lower around here. All you need to know around here is that I'm in charge, got it?" Implying that Nate is the most popular pupil in the school and wants to have nothing to do with the Player. This is also displayed by the apparent loneliness of the Player, where he will often not have any friends to interact with, apart from Dave. Besides this, the Player is pretty much a blank slate. He doesn't appear to express much emotion unless it's necessary.
== Appearance ==
The Protagonist appears to have hazel brown hair which is somewhat shaggy and he has a square jaw. He normally wears the school uniform by default unless an unlockable extra costume has been applied to him. The uniform he is personally wearing consists of a white button-up shirt with short sleeves and a red necktie, black jeans, and black shoes.
== Common Theories and Speculations ==
Most players speculate that the Player can see ghosts due to the common 'Dave is a ghost' theory, however, there's a large chance that this is false as Dave being unnoticed is possibly just a running gag and he's a real living boy like all other pupils. The other most popular theory is that the Protagonist has schizophrenia and he has hallucinations about Dave who may just be a fragment of his imagination, which is the real reason he was brought to this school. However, it is also very likely to be false, because there is not much evidence to back it up, since it ties into the same contradictions with the ghost Dave theory: Dave's an actual living person.
