From this post, more specifically, the below
"
A person taking on qualities they would not otherwise possess as a form of "mask" when performing.
www.merriam-webster.com
A fictional entity."
So we got a problem, Luminous Being falls under BOTH, if you've ever played a game of Dungeons and Dragons, one person is the Dungeon Master... or by lore standards, the Luminous Being, thus, making it a Stage persona shared by however many DMs have ever DM'd.
But the Luminous Being has also done minor things in DnD, making this an interesting case becuase it's both a fictional character and Stage Persona.
Despite me bringing it up in that thread, actually looking at the case raises an interesting question with interesting discussion to be had, because this feels like the grey line middle ground and I want to hear people's thoughts on it.
