Neologism of the day

Tagonist

A fictional character that is important to the story. Whether they are sympathetic or not, whether they are "good" or not, and whether their primary function is to generate or resolve conflict is undefined.

Useful for RPGs.

Is something wrong with "agonist", which word already exists and doesn't have sketchy morphology?

Tagonist sounds cooler.
