Silent Protagonist

A character from a fictional video game or book, who does not directly and vocally interacts with others. They still talk, only, we cannot HEAR/READ what they say, but other characters do. Sometimes, you can actually read or hear their thoughts. While silently interacting, they move their body, such as nodding, or bowing their heads.

Isaac from Golden Sun, Crono from Chrono Trigger, Serge from Chrono Cross, Ryu from Breath of Fire 1/2/3/4, etc.

protagonist

Since there was no absolute definition for this word, I decided to use an actual meaning.

1. The main character in a drama or other literary work.
2. In ancient Greek drama, the first actor to engage in dialogue with the chorus, in later dramas playing the main character and some minor characters as well.
3.
1. A leading or principal figure.
2. The leader of a cause; a champion.

Gee, I dunno... do you really need one?

Protagonist seat

In animes, the main character often sits in the seat farthest back (or second farthest back) and closest to the window at school.

-Man, Kevin got the protagonist seat
-What do you mean by protagonist seat?
-You know, the seat farthest back and closest to the window that the main characters in animes always sit in!

Protagonist Syndrome

A mental attitude where a person is so infatuated with themselves and their goals that they become impatient and shut things out of their life or procrastinate on things they need to do rather than what they want to do. This kind of person indulges in self-care, and anything that doesn't concern their well-being and/or livelihood that causes them stress is irrelevant and trite.

If they're not focused on their goals, they're waiting for that moment for god to come along and " bless " them with an important goal.

If you relate to this, you probably have some other mental disorder and/or watch too much anime.

I told my followers on Twitter I'm taking a mental health break and one of them commented " ratio ". They don't even follow me and they hurled an insult at me anyway. I think they have a case of protagonist syndrome.
