However, whilst id Software chose a somewhat generic, male pictorial representation of the Marine for the box art, as well as gameplay purposes (damage feedback, story transitions), the true identity of the Doom Marine is meant to be the player themselves and so these depictions should only be considered illustrative. The Marine is often referred to in the fan community as the 'Doomguy'. The Marine grins upon picking up a new weapon, and the most emotional face is seen when the Marine suffers 20 hit points or more taken away during a single attack, showing a shocked face. When the Marine takes damage, his reaction is a mixture of pain and anger. In Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom, the Marine expresses little emotion at the horror unfolding around him, maintaining a stern and alert glare, eyes constantly darting left and right. The Marine appears without a helmet in the cover art of Doom II and in the ending to The Ultimate Doom episode IV, 'Thy Flesh Consumed'. This image, with the addition of a shotgun, clutched in his left hand, is carried over to the introduction screen of Doom. The Marine is firing a machine gun that doesn't make an appearance in the final game and fighting a CyberDemon. In multiplayer mode and in the ending of Doom II: Hell on Earth, the player's in-game avatar is based on this depiction, wearing green, red, brown and indigo. In single-player mode, the Marine wears green armor and a light grey space helmet that conceals his facial features. His face is seen in the game's HUD, where it is shown as a Caucasian male with light brown hair, a buzz cut, and blue eyes. On the box art for the original Doom, the Marine is portrayed as a muscular man standing 6В ft 2 in (188В cm) tall and weighing 230 pounds (104В kg). Later, when asked, Tom Hall and John Romero confirmed that the Marine was, at least originally, a descendant of B.J.

In the finished product, this nearly happens to the Marine in the final level of the first episode, but the player survives. 'Dacote' is an acronym for 'Dies at conclusion of this episode', and Buddy was supposed to be killed by a boss at the end of the planned third episode. The sole non-playable character, Buddy Dacote, bore the most similarities to the original game's eventual protagonist. Tom Hall's original design draft, 'The Doom Bible', described several planned characters, all of whom went unused in the final version. In 2021, According to Doom Eternal's director, Hugo Martin that the female Doomguy was nearly added, but scrapped due to how much of an endeavor it would have been. In 2020, id Software co-founder, John Romero revealed that the real name of the character is Doomguy. In 2017, Romero stated that he was the original model of the character for the cover box art. The character sprites were created by Adrian Carmack, based on an initial sketch and clay model he made. Romero described this choice as increasing player immersion: 'There was never a name for the marine because it's supposed to be YOU '. The Marine is not referred to by name in the original game. He received mainly positive reviews, with some critics praising him as the Doom series' badass and violent protagonist.
