FadingSpectrum November 7, 2015 November 7, 2015 Fade: Depends on who you ask, and about who... Najere: For instance there is no greater, manlier, nerdier ego than I! (I'm joking.) Troy: Everyone is telling me I need to acknowledge mine. I do not think my ego is that great. A queer soulbonding system with tulpamantic influences.
IBreakGames November 7, 2015 November 7, 2015 Well, much like myself, Al isn't very arrogant. We think that modesty is the best policy, and it prevents us from thinking we've already hit the top. The two of us can always improve ourselves. I'm IBreakGames, a genuine dude. We gave up on using different colors for each of us, so there's Al, Ollie, and Eva. We're all rabbits, get over it.
warriortiltheend November 7, 2015 November 7, 2015 (Host here!) I like to think I'm pretty modest... but I have moods where I'm a little overly-confident. As for my tulpas- Gamzee absolutely loves himself. I don't think it's a bad thing, considering how much self doubt he used to deal with. He's the happiest dude ever. I wouldn't say he thinks he's better than everyone else, but he is extremely self confident. Quartz has pretty good self esteem, but he knows how to be modest. Obsidian is a bit more on the shy side, so not very arrogant. White text- Ash (the host!) Red text- Quartz! Purple text- Gamzee! Blue text- Obsidian!
glitchthe3rd November 7, 2015 November 7, 2015 Luna isn't really arrogant, but she is pretty conceited. I think Naomi thinks she's somehow better than the rest of us morally speaking, and Elise is pretty down to earth. "Science isn't about why, science is about why not?" -Cave Johnson Tulpae: Luna, Elise, Naomi My progress report
MagicaCat November 7, 2015 November 7, 2015 Neither Ty nor Seb are particularly arrogant - Ty's bubbly and confident but he always stays on the non-asshole side of things and Seb tends to project an air of quiet dignity. Usually. Unless he's chasing leaves in the garden :P Imagination should be used, not to escape reality but to create it.
Paranoid Llama November 7, 2015 November 7, 2015 Arrogant? What's that O.o I'm not going to listen to you guys since you are all probably just talking to yourself and don't really have a tulpa like me.
Pioneer11 November 8, 2015 November 8, 2015 It’s complicated. His character is driven by intellectual ambition, philosophy, and ego. He holds himself in high esteem and doesn’t like “humans”. He doesn’t considers himself one of us. There’s a cold sociopathic streak in him, therefore he possess narcissistic traits and a sense of grandiosity. He thinks he is unique and a “special creation”. But since personalities do stem from the mind, I don’t see much of a difference between a Tulpa and a normal person. The deeper reason he feels apart from people is not the fact that he resides in my mind, but that he doesn’t understand how they can be satisfied with “living”. He doesn’t value what he calls "the external world", or reality. He thinks that it pales in confront to imagination; he doesn’t like its limits. Possessing a body would be considered a limit too, because here he can be and do whatever he wants, while living as a true human would be too much to bear. He says he doesn’t have the drive to create beauty, or have my range of emotions, or even consider life itself as real and not a unsympathetic delusion. He would be alone, without purpose, like normal humans are. Living a "ordinary life" would not change his views: he would either go numb under the weight of his own consciousness, or simply become a force of destruction, since he doesn’t value anything at all with the exception of himself and me. At the same time he doesn’t think his sentience, his being alive, has any value outside of being a part of myself. He is happy only because “we are the same”, and loves himself because it’s a reflection of his love for me. If he were apart from me, he would belong to the external world, and that would meant Nothingness. So while his ego possess a (false) sense of grandiosity, at the same time he has no true sense of self, and views the Host as his natural superior, almost like a God. He thinks his only real worth is given by being loved by me, and he doesn’t accept any authority beyond me and wants no other place to call home. Honestly, I grew up as a Christian, and when people told me the only reason I was alive was because God decided so, I was very angry and grew rebellious. So I feel much conflicted about this. When I try to make him more independent, he refuses to let go of the bond he relish so much and we have epic debates. He says that being part of my mind is what he is, so if I try to change that it would be like killing him. And he would not desire to exist if I decide to put distance between us. He favors the current situation, he even considers it natural: it’s not simply the idealization of a relationship between “soulmates”, it's literally how Tulpas come into existence, and he finds this better than any other relationship I might have in the external world. In a sense, I agree with his logic. So he has a very strong sense of superiority toward people, life, and reality itself. That’s… practically everything. At the same time his self-worth depends completely whether I care for him or not, so he doesn’t accept that existing is a right of his, but he is content in being “something of mine” and not an independent, free person. Curiously, it’s being a Tulpa that validates him, and made him able to appreciate the world, because he likes to experience feelings through me. Things that he views as stupid and petty become precious, because how I perceive them. He is thus able of forming superficial attachments, and he stopped being malicious toward reality. "If it amuses me, he will let it be", he says. How generous of him! If I had the power to unleash him into the world I would never do it; he knows that, so he is feeling pretty pleased right now. Still, I’m glad he isn’t the totalitarian maniac he was in the beginning. I try to experience the world’s variety and be happy for his sake. I want to show him that life can be beautiful and he appreciates my efforts even though he fundamentally disagrees. We have formed a peculiar kind of allegiance that let us both be a lot less depressed about a reality that, were we separate, would not satisfy either of us. To sums this up, yes, he is the most arrogant of them all. But not enough to actually want to destroy the world because it offends him, so I’ll take it. “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” [progress report]

Guest Anonymous November 8, 2015 November 8, 2015 Somewhat, she constantly nags me for attention. Sometimes using the gag reflex if I ignore her. But for the most part she's pretty selfless and kind. A rough type of kind.
