Please give opinions on anything you think should be changed, especially what's been underlined, as these are subjects I'm unsure of, and they have been underlined for convenience since this is a lot of text. I tried to cover as much as possible. I am open to discussion about any aspect (not much choice if I want this character anyway though)
Applicable BYOND Key - QuestionableToo
Character Name - Pando
Request Type - Multiple people in one body? The character as a whole? Idk what to put here
Request Details - A doriad with mindmates, which are people who exist in the same body/mind as each-other. The main goal of this application is to get permission for two (a male and female), but I like (prefer) the thought of potentially gaining more mindmates over time (1-3 more, 4 more AT MOST, cause dear god I would barely be able to handle managing 4 more.) The following is the long list of details about it I've compiled while bored, gird your loins:
-Soul-based fuckery shouldn't be a concern, they're all fused together like a bag of melted gummy bears, visible in different shades but unable to be separated (though this also means affecting any one of their souls affects all of them) .
-Additionally, whichever one has control has almost full control, with small exceptions like being able to move an arm/eye and multitask, though doing so in combat would be detrimental due to lack of full coordination [1] .
-They all see and feel what whoever is in control does, for the most part (maybe have the ability to... 'disconnect?' and basically do the mental equivalent of shutting yourself in your room [2]).
-They'd technically be able to communicate with each-other without talking out loud, but not read the other's mind (potentially they'd still be aware of the other's emotional state), however the one in control would generally speak out loud and use body language.
-No actions that would require two people to do instead of one are possible; no simultaneous spells, faster invocations, weird fighting styles, etc.- When two of them are in active control, the body's coordination goes kaput and they get insanely clumsy [see 1 ] .
-They have separate memories, and they still have to communicate this information to the others like normal people.
-The mindmates are able to 'sleep' [see 2 ] while not in control (this does not cure physical exhaustion, it's just to pass time/ignore the others). They will not be aware of what goes on during this time.
-Enough emotional trauma could cause 1) a mindmate to forcefully take control over the body[see 3 ] and 2) a mindmate to lose control over the body for an extended period due to something like depression
-They can go into 'hibernation' [see above, and 2] for days to months [if it wasn't obvious this is a way to not have to rp as all of them all the time, and also obligatory sad character development]
-The idea of a mentally disturbed or evil mindmate [3] is up to how the character develops, currently it's just a mildly interesting option
-As with normal doriads, destroying the original tree won't do anything to the mindmates, though it will prevent new ones from showing up. Damage to the tree could potentially cause problems for one of them?[see 3]
-They're larger than the average doriad, cause they come from a bigger tree. I'm bad with character height, so idk what that is.
-They consider themselves to be separate identities from the body, and the body to be a combination of all their identities. They each have a mental image of themselves that varies somewhat from the real body (like being more masculine or feminine, since the body is androgynous), and the others are aware of this and have the same mental image of that person
-If all of them fight over control the body just collapses until they stop fighting (because this is funny)
-Their body isn't physically affected by their strange origin other than being bigger than normal and the below
-Their body's unmentionables are unmentionable, and the body's gender is yes; the former isn't important cause this isn't an adult game, and they never go shirtless anyway. I know what they are. Nobody else needs to.
-There are no physical indicators about the person in control other than tone, posture, body language, idiolect, etc. No eyes changing color or anything. (This will be represented with a colored indicator in chat, however)
[for the love of god please tell me I'm not forgetting something this took about 7 to 8 hours to finish]
Specific Request - A doriad who has multiple different people inside their head
Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - There's no roleplay since the character doesn't exist yet, and there's not really lore for stuff like mindmates; However, the basis for this character is that the tree they came from is either: Two trees that fused or were grafted together (in the case of only getting permission to have two mindmates) OR A clonal forest like their namesake, that has a tree for each mindmate (for if the character can have more than two)
I hope it is extremely obvious that I would prefer more than two mindmates, if possible, please, god, I didn't write this extensive list for no reason... right? [Honestly it was pretty fun to write either way]
'10 more words cause I'm ocd and it'll be done.' [lies]
