The ottomans were roman in so much that if I break into someone's house , kill them and steal their legal identity, don't bother acting like them at all, I become them.

Yeah, I'm using their ID and I live in their house, but I'm probably not the same person.

"And yes, Mr Osman, you say your full name is 'Christóphoros Nicolas Costas Papadoupulos' , as indicated in this ID, and I see you have chosen to grow a mustache and gone bald very quickly in the last year?"

"Evet... I mean, ney"

"And you also grew 30 cm and somehow changed skin colour?"

"😰 Yes..."

"I see no problems, welcome aboard!"
