The '''rookie Rescue Officer''' (also referred to by [[#Naming|various other names]]) is the main character of {{p4}}. They are a customizable character whose name and appearance can be changed in a character creator. They are the newest recruit to the [[Rescue Corps]], sent to [[PNF-404]] to rescue the Rescue Corps from a crash landing. They, along with [[Oatchi]], are the only playable [[leader]]s in the game's [[Story Mode]]. Their ID card mentions they are from the planet [[Karut]], which cannot be changed or customized. Their appearance can also be altered mid-story after rescuing [[Puddle]], a [[castaway]].

The other [[Rescue Corps]] members will wear uniforms in the same spacesuit color that the player selected. Additionally, the [[S.S. Shepherd]] , [[S.S.

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* While the game allows the player to give their character the same name as another character, nothing special happens in this situation.
* The other [[Rescue Corps]] members will wear uniforms in the same color that was selected in the character creator. Additionally, the [[S.S. Shepherd]] and [[S.S. Beagle]] will also share the color.
* If the player customizes their character to look identical to another character, then that character will point this out in their first conversation.{{cite youtube|DxjxXNK65n0|showing the different dialog that appears when the player talks to a character when the two look identical.}} This interaction can only be seen once.
* The color of the spacesuit the player chooses directly affects the coloring of character and object textures, such as the spacesuits of the [[Rescue Corps]], [[Oatchi]]'s collar in-game and in menus, and ID badges.
* When the player chooses their character's face type, a faint sound very similar to the {{w|Mii Channel}} option confirmation sound will play.
