# Player Profile

## Player Profile Overview

The player profile in *Alternates* serves as your general identification, both in-game and through the Player Hub. It is a comprehensive and customizable component that holds various variables, some identifiers and some editable.

### Variables

1. **Display Name**
   * **Description**: This is the name displayed in-game and visible to other players.
   * **Editable**: Yes, it can be edited anytime.
   * **Usage**: Used for in-game identification and interaction.
2. **Username**
   * **Description**: A unique identifier for logging into the website and game.
   * **Editable**: No, it cannot be changed once set.
   * **Usage**: Essential for user authentication and identification.
   * **Note**: We plan to make the Username editable in the future. Similar to most games or launchers, users will be charged $ALT tokens to change their username, as we want to limit this option.
3. **Email**

   * **Editable**: Users can add multiple wallets.
   * **Usage**:
     * **Sequence Wallet**: Automatically assigned, holds all NFTs purchased or claimed within our ecosystem, reflecting them in-game as soon as the user logs in.
     * **External Wallets**: Users can link external wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Phantom) to manage NFTs purchased outside our ecosystem.

### Visibility of Player Profile

Other players can view your player profile through the Player Hub, providing transparency and fostering community engagement. This visibility includes:

* **Web3 Stats**: Information such as connected wallets and collected NFTs.
* **Social Engagement Stats**: Completed tasks and points generated.
* **In-Game Stats**: Performance metrics like kills, deaths, K/D ratio, games played, wins, losses, win/loss ratio, headshots, and points generated.

Additionally, within the game itself, other players can view your in-game stats directly, which enhances competitive play and allows players to gauge the skills and achievements of their peers.

In summary, the player profile is a crucial part of the *Alternates* experience, providing necessary identification for in-game interactions and Player Hub activities. It encompasses various variables, some fixed and some editable, to ensure a personalized and secure experience for every player. The visibility of your profile to other players fosters a sense of community and healthy competition within the game.
