The Player, also known as Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief; Ryley Robinson is the protagonist of Subnautica. He is one of the survivors, and later the sole survivor, that survived the impact of the Aurora by escaping into Lifepod 5. 

Appearance

He is a young-adult male human with light brown skin, dark brown eyes, and dark hair styled in a fauxhawk with dyed turquoise streaks. He has a long face and pronounced features.

Ryley has a good degree of stamina, for he is able to swim very long distances and hold his breath for prolonged periods of time. It may be possible that he was in the TSF and given military training due to his physical capabilities.

Behaviour

Ryley does not typically speak, but can be heard gasping for air if he stays underwater for too long, when he is jumping, or letting out shrieks of pain if he is attacked. He can be heard grunting when escaping the Aurora in Lifepod 5, and coughing when putting out the fire inside.

Pre-Crash

Almost nothing is known about Ryley's life before the crash of the Aurora, however, he was a member of the Alterra corporation, and was on board the Aurora prior to the crash.

Post-Crash

Ryley is seen boarding and launching Lifepod 5 during the descent of the Aurora. After being knocked out by a loose panel, Ryley then proceeds to put out a fire inside the lifepod using a Fire Extinguisher. Afterwards, he activates his PDA, and the user is able to take full control of him.
