Ryley Robinson
The Player is the currently unnamed main protagonist of Subnautica. He is one of the survivors that survived the impact of the Aurora by escaping into Lifepod 5.
Appearance
The player is a young, fit human man with light brown skin, brown eyes and dark hair styled in a fauxhawk with couple light blue streaks in it. He has a long face and pronounced features.
The player appears to have a good degree of stamina, able to swim for long distances and holding his breath for long periods of time.
Behaviour
The player does not typically speak, but can be heard gasping for air if he stays under 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 his Lifepod, and coughing when putting out the fire inside.
Pre-Crash
Almost nothing is known about the player'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. His status as a crewmember or passenger remains unknown.
Post-Crash
The player is seen boarding and launching Lifepod 5 during the descent of the Aurora. After being knocked out by a loose panel, the player 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.
Future Plans
- A female player option may be added.
