| ~ Shedletsky to the Player at the start of Chapter 4. |
The Player (alternatively referred to as the Protagonist, Adventurer, Robloxian, or simply Hero) is the main protagonist of the 2024 Roblox RPG game Block Tales.
They are an adventurer that time-travelled back to 2010 of Roblox and are tasked by John Shedletsky to travel the world and obtain all seven of the Sword Fights on the Heights swords to protect it from their arch-nemesis, the mysterious figure, who is manipulating people to steal them and use it for their own dastardly deeds.
Appearance[]
The appearance of the player is entirely determined on their Roblox avatar. However, in most achievement artworks, they are depicted as a blocky character with yellow skin, a red torso with the Bloxxer image, (which was first added in Demo 4 artwork) and blue leggings.
Personality[]
Overall, the player is a selfless and protective character, willing to rescue those who are in danger of beings that are affiliated with the Voice, and defeat adversaries who antagonize them or their friends. Against those that have antagonized them previously, they show no grudges held against them and are willing to accept their apology, misunderstanding, and/or reformation. Some of their former enemies can also benefit as an ally to them in their battles.
In Chapter 3, they were shown to be reckless sometimes, deciding to touch the Ghostwalker despite other people warning them of its lethal consequences, although they may wanted to obtain it for the greater good, and proved that by "purifying their soul," showing that they are worthy to wield such a powerful artifact. They are also somewhat gullible as they are easily manipulated by their Hatred to defeat their other three emotions, despite them warning the player about them being used by that specific emotion for its own selfish deeds.
However, the player is bound to be mischievous sometimes. as they can threaten to kill Tutorial Terry at the beginning of the game, are given the option to leave Accountant Jim under a pile of red blocks and let him die, and can ruin a clowns day by cutting all of his balloons. Although this is more often or not an on and off behavior for them as they are optional and don't seem to affect the story that much overall.
