If you really want to save space, call him the SO (Security Officer). However, I would agree with The Player as a perfectly acceptable name. "Marine" is an okay term, though not strictly canon; you could argue that the SO tends to act as, say, the US Marines do. The question that I have, however, is this: How should in-game terminal characters refer to the SO? The games (and, specifically, third party scenarios) tend to lead toward calling the SO "Marine," but that doesn't really resonate with me; I've always thought of Doomguy as a Marine. And we all know that Doomguy is a wuss compared to the SO. On the other hand, "Destiny" seems a bit too dorky, SO too impersonal, and so forth. : As for non-player characters, if you're referring to aliens in a sense
I just call 'em monsters. Gets the point across.
