Yeah, PC as ‘Player Character’ is normally used like MathiasZaman said to mean “person who does things that influence the world in a significant way” or ’the person around whom things are revolving”.
The way you are using the term seems way, way too broad to me.
Welp, few PCs have their stories start before they’re born, so everybody who ends up as one has gotta start somewhere. I’m already a one-in-a-million person, due to being a cryonicist; all I need is a few more orders-of-magnitude of competence, and I very well could end up as someone who influences the world in a significant way. (Possibly by becoming the first mind-upload, and using my first-mover advantage to become the most populous being in the solar system...) But given my state of being as of the end of last year, it’s going to take some time and effort to get there, and any trick that can help keep my motivation high is worth asking for. So—here we are.
