I need a bit more detail to answer what ur asking
"He was a good player when he was by himself." is direct characterization because it clearly tells us that he was a good player.
This would be my answer, hope it helped!

A prose poem.
When we look at the poem, “In This Moment,” by Ales
Debeljak, it can be a bit confusing to try to qualify it as a poem because it
resembles so closely a narrative. However
when we read it, it does have the rhythm of poem as well as all the imagery one
might associate with a poem. Works like
this are known as prose poetry. As such,
“In This Moment” is a prose poem.
Marcus and his father are arguing about whether the cops are doing a good job or not. Marcus believes that the cops haven't caught any terrorists, and they are just making people scared. Marcus's dad on the other hand, he strongly believes that the cops are doing amazing work. Marcus's dad even said he would gladly be pulled over if it was to make him feel safer. Marcus and his dad have opposite outlooks, and this is the big conflict.
Hope this helps! :)
