How do I know when I'm finished with personality?

Recommended Posts

I've been working on my tulpa nearly every day for about two weeks now, so I'd say about maybe 10-12 hours focused on developing her personality. I have a pretty good idea of her character traits and mannerism and it's getting to the point that I'm not sure what else I should be saying.

 

Am I ready to move on to the next step or should I be waiting for some sign of sentience? I suppose I could do it again and repeat the description of her personality for another 10 or so hours and hope for a sign of sentience, but that seems a little redundant.

 

Should I move on to visualization and narration now?

That's where I am. I'm confident I know her personality down to a point, but I'm only like 6 fucking hours in. I feel like an uber noob here, but I'm moving onto form without any noticible sentience.

Do personality again. I'm sure there are things you can add, seeing as how, as FAQ said, even 100 hours isn't enough to fully create a personality. If you think you can't add anything else after only 12 hours then you really don't know your tulpa well enough.

Do personality again, and start narrating as well. My philosophy behind tulpa is that you should treat them as sentient and narrate to them from the very beginning, thus my greeting stage even before personality.

Do not go on to visualization until you have sentience. A lot of us are pretty sure that this way is better.

6 hours? You need to write a list of personality traits, bud. Make sure you include things like how it effects their cognition, their likes, dislikes, etc. etc. Don't JUST say "you are nice," because that doesn't help anything. There are different levels of 'nice', and the tulpa might not be 'nice' 24/7. What are some situations that make them not 'nice'? I fail to see, after all of this, how you think you are done personality after only 6 hours. Unless you are some personality-creating savant.

That's just it, though. I want a simple personality by 6 broad traits, so I allow for plenty of deviation. I also don't know what to tulpaforce except for the same traits, likes, dislikes, etc over and over again for days.

Yo FF, look at G|deon's thread in progress report. He has a 65 page personality writeup and there still was deviation. So there's that to consider. In my opinion, "leaving it open to deviation" isn't a good thing to do. If you go in with the mindset/belief that deviation will happen where it should, then a larger and more detailed personality writeup is fine. But as I have said in the past: "It's your mind; do what feels natural."

Thanks. I decided on a method, as mentioned in my progress report.
