Since the game is played from a first person perspective, a player does not see their sprite on the main portion of the screen, except for a hand or two when certain weapons are selected or used. The entity has various attributes, such as a position on the map, health, and items possessed which vary according to the user's actions within the game levels. The player (or player character) is the entity or thing in the game controlled by a person playing the game (the player as an individual, or the game user), either alone, or as one of several in multiplayer mode. One player in Doom looking at two others, Brown and Indigo, on the starting alcove of Level 1: Entryway, in Doom II.
