synthespian noun, trademark in US

a computer-generated three-dimensional character, either in a wholly animated film or in one that is a mixture of live action and computer animation.

I actually like that word. Feels like something out of a dystopian sci-fi novel.

The Adventures of Flox Spanner 2209, by Donovan Cove

Chapter 1: The Synthespian Uprising

Or like it's how Poe from Altered Carbon would describe himself.

I'd like it more if it weren't a trademark.

Well the best part about trademark law is that if you're too good and you become the 'generic' term then you lose protection.
