ACTORS
The main cast and central characters of Project Eidolon.
They feature heavily across productions as:
The faces of the games
The primary points of interaction
The vessels most often used by Guests.
Actors perform across alternate universes (AUs), bringing scripts to life through action and emotion.
Functionally, they are comparable to enzymes as they accelerate creation. Worlds that might take ages to solidify into full alternate universes become real much faster when actors take the stage.
CASTING OF AN ACTOR
Actors often begin as Extras or Understudies; unnamed, background, or conceptual figures who slowly develop into full identities.
Through exposure to story, attention, and interaction, they evolve beyond their written forms.
The current main cast (Arcturus, Azimuth, Corvo, Carina, and Carlos) are an example of fully realised actors.
Most were born in alternate universes, originally existing only as names or characters in a script. Over time, as their worlds grew and deepened, they became self-aware and crossed into full actorhood.
In simpler terms, they were formed through the world’s development; shaped and awakened as their stories matured.
