Actors are shapechangers—beings who borrow souls, wear stories, and slip in and out of lives not their own. They train their voices, bodies, and expressions like weapons, becoming mirrors for the world to stare into, even when it flinches.

They thrive on attention, but not always for ego—sometimes, it’s survival. To perform is to disappear and be seen at once. Many walk a fine line between the role and the real, haunted by characters long after the curtain falls.

Their rituals involve repetition, mimicry, silence, and sudden bursts of raw emotion. A single glance, when honed well, can undo a crowd.

They are truth-wielders disguised as liars. Do not trust what they show you—it’s not for them. It’s for you.
