	In Foundry, characters are represented by [https://foundryvtt.com/article/actors/ Actors]. An Actor includes all the data relevant to that character. SR5 provides five different kinds of actors: [[Character Actor\|Characters]], [[Spirit Actor\|Spirits]], [[Sprite Actor\|Sprites]], [[Vehicle Actor\|Vehicles/Drones]], and [[IC Actor\|IC]]. There is a sixth type, Critter, but it is primarily a legacy holdover; the Character type Actor has all the same functionality and more.
