Doomguy

Doom's protagonist (Doom Marine , but often called Doomguy by fans, or just "Marine") represents the player's characters of Doom and its sequels or offshoots, who are also referred to as the Doom marine or the Marine (the latter especially in Doom 3), as well as our hero at the end of Doom II.

In all the games (Doom II RPG excepted), these protagonists are futuristic marines that are never specifically referred to by name.

In Chinese the character is known literally as "Doom Warrior" or "Doom Fighter", which is also the release name of Doom itself in China.

A different way of referring to each protagonist is as the "player," although this is a technical denomination similar to that of player character in role-playing games.

And so, the player knows the player isn't the only marine and will see a bunch of other marines that were killed on their missions.

The Doom Marine originally had no actual name because, according to John Romero, "The protagonist is supposed to be YOU".

The only game to give the traditional armored male marine a name is Doom RPG series and in Doom II RPG he is one of three character choices all who are said to be marines (except for the civilian scientist playable character Riley O'Connor).

It should be noted that the Marine in Doom RPG (whose name maybe B.J. Blazkowicz (Doom RPG)), and Stan Blazkowicz are two separate individuals (apparent clones or relatives) this is made more clear by the Doom II RPG comic in which it refers to the Mars Incident, and that there were no known survivors (at least no known that UAC was willing to divulge), and Stan Blazkowicz had not previously encountered the demons.

The Doom RPG website confirms however, that the Marine in the game is the same one from Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3.

There are allusions/predictions of future events on the moons of Mars, and Earth as well in the Doom RPG series which may suggest a rough link to the original Doom/Doom II games as future events.

Likewise the Marine of Doom 3 Novels ("John Kane") is not the same marine as the marine in Resurrection of Evil ("Marine Enigineer").

Or the Bravo Marine of Lost Mission of Bravo Team.
