Bit of a unique coining post-
Proposing alternative terms to "real person" and "fictional character"
Interactive Character: A being that is possible to be directly interacted with by one
Observable Character: A being that is only possible to be observed and not directly interacted with by one
This is all about perspective- For example: From my perspective, the character "Crona" from Soul Eater is an observable character- because I cannot directly interact with them. However, from Maka's perspective, a character also from Soul Eater who has the ability to directly speak to Crona, Crona is an interactive character.
Of course, there are gray areas to this, and situations where it might be complicated to deduce whether a being is interactive or observable, but I'm hoping this will be of use to beings who don't feel fully satisfied by the terms "real person"/"fictional character"
