Apparently I'm a protaganist........   nope,  wrong wrong wrong.   Though thinking about it I did used to be , so it's interesting my answers were based on the past though they didn't mean to be. 

Among others, politicians are listed as protaganists .  It's a very 'out there' personality and I'm just not like that anymore.

Protaganists are said to mesmerise listeners.......   I've usually thought that glassy eyed look on my listeners was one of boredom.
