How to access player by local script?

✓ Accepted answer
You forgot to add Players between game and LocalPlayer:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
StarterCharacterScripts is for accessing the character only. The character is like the NPC, except the player controls the said NPC. If you want to access the player only, then change it to StarterPlayerScripts. Also printing the instance is not allowed, and it would break your script. So the proper print is this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print(tostring(player))
Nitpicks: You didn't capitalise Player at the 2nd line. You were supposed to write game.Players.LocalPlayer not game.LocalPlayer. Also you can't print instances unless if you use the tostring() function.
