How do you know whether your character is a protagonist?
At what point do you feel it? Maybe you go into play assuming that your character will be a protagonist - what's the moment where play confirms your assumption? What's it like before play confirms your assumption? Have you ever worried, mid-play, that maybe your character isn't a protagonist after all?
This makes sdm go "It's my assumption going in"
Though I'm probably bad, since my play style's not quite the Anyway assumption.
Early play is building consistancy & interest in the character. Later, I've worried about not being a protagonist... usually in a railroaded, no choices really matter, adventure.
