How easy is it to accidentally make a tulpa based off of a fictional character?

I think that you should just do things as you normally would've, and if that voice persists and is consistent, look into it just a bit more.

Judging from what you guys said, I should be less hasty in concluding whenever I made a tulpa or not. How much time is usually good for determining whenever a voice is a tulpa or not?

 

This is really hard to tell, since you won't be able to tell just from a short conversation. If you want something to become a tulpa you might keep talking to it for days and weeks, observing how autonomous it acts. Does it speak to you, even if you're busy with something else? Does it react to things in a non-vocal way? Does it surprise you?

 

It is important to pin down that the most defining thing regarding a tulpa is the capability to act autonomous, which is something that may take a while to fully achieve. Some tulpas may only act spontanous and autonomous, when you pay at least a little attention, some are more free to interact with you.

 

It is the autonomous behaviour you should look for, not the things that happen when you're expecting a reaction of some kind.

Very easily, arguably easier than making it from scratch since you already have an example and material to work from. This is evident enough in how the community seems to have more tulpas based off of characters than there are tulpas meant to be themselves. At least, this is as far as appearances go since personalities do not often stay true to the source material anyway due to extrapolation to a different setting.
