Line 4:
[[Tabletop Games|Tabletop]] and [[Video Game]] [[RPG]]s, as well as certain other games, feature not one but several [[Player Character]]s, banded together in [[Ensembles]] of 3 or more, fighting evil together. Such an ensemble is known as a "party". Unless the player wants to beat the game using a [[Fake Difficulty|handicapped group]], most selections comprise most if not all of the available choices inside the entire party.
In [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s and multiplayer games, each PC is controlled by a human (usually). In single-player games, the player either controls a leader PC whose movements are matched by the whole party, or (during combat) individually moves and instructs each character in turn.
In [[Role-Playing Game]]s where the characters are pre-plotted (in comparison to, say, ''[[Final Fantasy I]]''), then the Party is usually a specific variety of Ensemble, such as the [[Power Trio]], [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]] or [[Five-Man Band]]. Furthermore, the party members' tendencies to stick together for the length of the game (temporary members notwithstanding) mean that they are usually written as [[True Companions]].
