When a character from an existing media franchise makes a brief appearance in a video game, sometimes without even openly acknowledging their origins.

These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
Some ghosts exist solely as storytelling devices; such as providing the protagonist with in-game flashbacks or giving clues about what to do.
The single most important thing in the world, love is a powerful story telling element that can connect characters or drive a story. There are many video game characters who have fallen in love with someone or something.
These are the characters who may or may not wind up in a relationship with the protagonist of the game. Sometimes the player gets to choose if this relationship will develop, while in other instances it is just left up to your imagination at the end of the game.
Romance in video games can either be interactive, in which the player attempts to woo another character, or an unchangeable part of the story of a given game.
Marine animals characterized by five arms extending from a central disk. They are a lot more agile in video games than they are in real life.
Those that attend a school seeking knowledge. In many video games (especially RPGs) students, most commonly high school students, are the protagonist of the game.
A sub-genre of adventure games, visual novels are a form of interactive fiction that usually have very little in terms of gameplay but often focus more on extensive storytelling, character interactions, decision-making and branching narratives.
Voice Acting is the art of providing voices for characters in games, television shows, films, radio programs, and other forms of media.
