The Participant

The Participant is a main character and the narrator of Deathmatch. Throughout the entire story his name is never revealed.

Profile
The Participant is, for the most part, an average human male, around 18 to 23 years old. Having lived a comfortable life prior to the events of Deathmatch, he is unaccustomed to combat, and much less accustomed to having to fight for his life. Separated from his ally Mylan during the conflict, he begins to find and develop a killer instinct he never knew he had. During the course of the Deathmatch, he relates the story of a failed romantic relationship with another human to Mylan. After surviving the Deathmatch, he and Mylan roam the cosmos, apparently starting a relationship together.

Personality
The Participant is a morally upstanding character, and is for the most part reluctant to kill. Being a pragmatist, his sense of humor can be as cutting as it is self-deprecating, and usually chooses the path of least resistance. He is cautious by nature, but will bravely charge into a fight to save an ally.
