How much depth in personality is needed?

Some of you guys might remember me from the old /mlp/ threads. I didn't say much there, so I wouldn't be surprised if not.

 

Anyway, I was in a tulpaforcing session, sort of doing my thing and talking about the traits I want, yada yada, regular stuff. But I couldn't help but feel that I was lacking in the amount of stuff I need to include on each trait.

 

I had decided I would go the route of taking one trait per night and focusing on it, in hopes that I'll pretty much have it finished by the time it's sentient. As I probably should have guessed, there's only so far I can get on the tangents of one trait like "Funny" or "Optimistic". Should I just go into repetition on the traits once I've gone through them, or try to figure out still more things to talk about within the one trait? If so, what kind of ideas would you throw out there?

Generally, the more you know about your Tulpa's personality traits the better it is.

 

I believe, you take every single nuance of the character and weld it together. What you get afterwards, is the "overall feeling" of your Tulpa's personality. As an example, take someone you know well (family, girl/boyfriend, friend). You know that "overall feel" of him, and will therefore be able to make better predictions on how the person will behave in a certain situation.

 

But it's not just the traits which make one's personality, but also its habits, quirks, down sides and so on. Just write down everything you want your Tulpa to be, not just traits.

 

As I will cover in one of my next blog entries, Tulpaforcing is very much like learning. Shorter and more intense sessions in a short timespan are better than long sessions with a big interval between them.

 

This could be controversial, but I'd say take the trait, apply it for as long as you think you can do it intensively and move on to the next. You can repeat it anyways. 15 - 30 minutes as suggested in FAQ_man's personality guide, is too long in my opinion, and you won't be able to focus as good as when you do it 3 x 5minutes (or even shorter).

Well, look at that, this is exactly what I did, and I must say I'm pretty darn satisfied with the result. I know some other members who did repetitions, several cycles of short personality bursts. The only thing so far I could agree with anyone is that you're done with personality when you feel you're done, once you are certain that nothing you will do it's going to make a difference (speaking from the subjective standpoint of the host regarding the tulpa).

 

I also think you should be able to completely recall, understand and "predict" traits, behaviors and some other psychological/ethical instances of your tulpa, pretty much like it was your lifelong friend that you get to know after years of camaraderie (again subjective, but it sounds kind of right to me). Once the host does know the personality of his tulpa to the T (apart from possible deviation), what else can he/she do, other than repeating? And if you're gonna lose interest while repeating, neither you nor the tulpa will gain anything.

I got a few tables of positive vs. negative traits and wrote notes on/around it. Then I studied them hard and when through them with my tulpa.

I have it planned out to take at least 3 days just to cover her 'loose screw' trait. Some personality traits are just more important than others, and I don't see the need to take very long to tulpaforce about her being 'nice' for very long. 40, even just 20 minutes will do for 'nice'.
