player one

Game's initial participant

Player one is the first participant in a video game, especially in multiplayer contexts where positions are numbered.

The term carries connotations of primacy or main-character status: I call player one!

Beyond gaming, it can designate whoever takes the lead role in any activity: You be player one on this project.
