# Character (persistent)

> A persistent character is an AI cast member defined once — face references, persona, voice — and reused across images, video and dialogue so they stay the same person in every scene.

Consistency is the hard problem of generated media; a persistent character solves it at the data level rather than by re-prompting.

## On eroq

Characters at /studio/characters: reference photos, persona, a roster or cloned voice; @mention them anywhere; cast them per scene in Film mode; `char:<id>` in the API.

## FAQ

### Can a character speak?

Yes — with its assigned voice in the voice studio, films and the API.
