Diffrence between player and character？Would it be a problem if we didn't use characters？

Our game is a hero collection game，user could have 50-100 diffrent heros，after some research in other people's question，we decide to use items represent hero.

So my question is, should we use player's inventory to storage heros data directly, or create a defualt character silently when user register, and use this character‘s inventory？

Ask this question because we don’t know if API related to players is as complete as the character，and would it be a problem if we didn't use characters？

There is no problem if you don’t use Characters. PlayFab Player is the basic unit of the game’s users. The Character is more like the different roles of the Player. The API related to Players is more complete than that related to Character. Player has all the features of Character. You can decide whether to use the Character based on your design of the game.
