As the actor, your job is simple. Entertain the crew. While its easy on paper its difficult to do successfully and more than once.
Equipment
As the actor you'll have access to a small office where you can get various costumes to aid you in entertaining people. That said, you're not limited to just whats in this office. A unique outfit can bring you some notability and work towards a certain schtick. Are you a funny clown? A sad clown? A clever mime? A well dressed prankster or a homeless mummer? The limits are your imagination and experimentation is encouraged.
Artists Bench: Here, you can make sculptures to sell, donate or showcasing to colonists (for them to adore, or be haunted by depending on what you make). It requires plasteel, steel, glass, wood and plastic. You will need an oddity and fourty units each of materials in order to create a sculpture. What is created will generally also be an oddity.
Alright, I'm an actor, what now?
You decide!
No seriously, this is a heavily roleplayed position and your goals and fun is entirely created by you. You are given somewhat of a bit of leeway to pull pranks and mess with people but remember that you can encounter consequences. See the guide to self antagging for more information on what to be wary of. You have the tools to spice up regular rounds or be annoying, its a fine line to tread and always look for improving peoples play instead of trying to frustrate others.
