<p>Hey, guys! I just had a question that’s been lingering in my mind for awhile. Hope you don’t mind me asking.</p><p>I know that we, <i>the Players</i>, take on the role of the <i>‘Assistant’</i> throughout the story of Missing Numbers. But the Assistant is very clearly a person, sort of like our own “player character” in a way. It’s through this character, that we project ourselves onto, that we can interact with their world in a manner more direct than just observing. But then that left me with my question:</p><p>What does the Assistant look like? <span class="npf_color_joey"><i>Red</i></span> himself said that “<i>you ARE the vessel you're playing through- some quirky little nobody, helping at a lab in the middle of nowhere, who acts oddly erratic and is scary good at multitasking.</i>” But what does that vessel look like? Do they have a set appearance, or is it constantly shifting to match the player?</p><p><strike><i>(So far, I’ve been imagining a sort of “faceless” protagonist. One that either has no face, has a face mostly hidden by shadows or is obscured by glitches like a lost soul. Something like that—but I was curious!)</i></strike></p>
{You haven’t checked, so who knows?}
