Protagonist

A protagonist is a main character of a story, and the main playable character in the Crime of Your Life games.
== Description ==
Traditionally, a protagonist is the main figure of a piece of literature or drama and has the main part or role, however, alternatively, the phrase denotes a primary advocate or proponent for a cause or movement. The main character can be a hero or a villain in a story - it is just the character with the lead role. In literature, the protagonist is characterized by his/her ability to change or evolve.
It should be pointed out that the protagonist is not always the hero of the story, as implied in the Crime of Your Life series. The Crime of Your Life protagonists frequently commit crimes and lack other heroic traits such as morality, though they are still considered the main character in the story. The Crime of Your Life protagonists can therefore be considered antiheroes.
In total, the Crime of Your Life have (TBA). The gender of the latest protagonist in the series (the CoYL Online Protagonist) is chosen by the player; however, both genders are treated as canon to the storyline with unique dialogue for both genders.
The protagonists of the series have access to Hammerspace, which explains the reason why they are able to get weapons out of thin air.

== Antagonist ==
The opposite of a protagonist is an antagonist which is the main enemy of the protagonist and works against the protagonist and his actions. Again, this can be a villain or a hero, though usually a villain.
The main antagonists of the Crime of Your Life games are usually introduced very early in the story, usually as the protagonist's friend or acquaintance until a major, personal betrayal (like Julian Franklin). These betrayals can be done by, not just main antagonists, but antagonists in general. However, some antagonists break these rules, such as Ronald Phelps, who is introduced as an enemy to the player and acts antagonistic towards the protagonist from the very beginning. They are usually seen, heard, or mentioned throughout the game, moving against the protagonist's plans or goals, while the protagonist continues his quest for vengeance, and will rarely interact directly with the protagonist after their betrayal until they are finally confronted and killed by the protagonist at the end of the game.
