[k] @Sion I think that was true for at least some of the Servants in this world as well. [k] [charaFace A 10] @Sion I cannot deny that this has meaning. [k] [charaFace A 2] @Sion Generally speaking, Alter Egos are purified versions of their original selves. [k] @Sion That is why they sometimes go down paths and open up possibilities which would be difficult for their normal personality. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rani-XII Then, I suppose it was my method of creation that was responsible for my failure. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Sion Not at all. I think we actually need to be paying attention to the reverse. [k] @Sion We should be looking at how they are made before questions of problematic process come into the picture. [k] @Sion The question we need to ask is not, “How do we purify people to create Alter Egos?” [k] @Sion Instead, we should be asking, “Why were the Alter Egos already purified when they were created?” [k] [messageOff] [charaFace A 10] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 6] @Sion I think Alter Egos are born precisely because they are purified. [k] @Sion Unlike their standard selves, they are focused on one particular feeling. [k] @Sion This happens when those feelings become too strong, or even overwhelming. [k] @Sion Which is why the resulting being contains new possibilities not present in the original. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rani-XII I see. So you're saying Alter Egos require a kind of naturally occurring directive to be effective. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 9] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Sion Not necessarily. I would not say it is impossible for one with the kind of power you were looking for to form spontaneously. [k] @Sion Especially when ones so close to holding such new possibilities lasted in this world right up to the end. [k] @Sion Conversely, it is also not guaranteed that such an Alter Ego would form spontaneously every time a given being naturally possesses such feelings. [k] [charaFace A 10] @Sion In the end, Alter Egos remain fragments of personalities, so some are not durable enough to survive alone. [k] [charaFace A 6] @Sion I think that is probably why so many of them end up tied to multiple Divinities. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rani-XII At any rate, it seems clear now that creating Alter Egos by forcibly separating personalities was never likely to yield any with the kind of power we would need. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Rani-XII Then, it seems mine truly was just a twisted equation. [k] @Rani-XII That it was akin to searching for meaning in the starry sky... [k] [charaFace B 8] @Rani-XII ...and allowing myself to be so dazzled by the sheer number of them that I included Paper Moons I floated myself in the answer.
