Vagabond's Ventures through the Mind's Mersmerizing Mechanics

[Vagabond]

Weheee! Time to grow some balls!

 

No, but really. I am esxcited, and that is good.

 

I have finally the confidence that I need in starting this out, and the first thing I notice is, that I kinda already did.

Oftentimes, while doing other stuff, I started thinking about my tulpa in a very detailed manner, something that you would usually sit down and meditate over, and I have the feeling I should stop with that, because it mioght be harmful, so I decided the following for "character creation":

 

Besides the above mentioned, I am also a rather disorganized type, althoguh I like systems, I never apply them, mcuh to my chargin, but since I don't want to get things wrong when forming a companion for life I thought about using all the stuff that I learned in good ol' RPG's (from pen and paper to videogame Wink ), in particular, a mixform of the DnD and Shadowrun character creation system.

 

Of course it will still be more of a guideline, since I don't want my chartulpa to be as static as your generic RPG hero, but I find it a lot easier to attribute alignments, skills and handicaps and let the personality unfold out of the logical consequence rather than piecing together every single little trait into a big picture. (Deduction/Induction Wink )

So much for the prolouge, let's start with the data logging:

Host: Vagabond

 

Tupper: No name given yet (He may decide for himself)

 

Gender: Male

 

Form: Not that important for me. Though I would like him to look like my OC, but I wouldn't mind him deviating from that at all, as long as there will still be lots of black, blue and green in his colour scheme. ^_^

 

Smell: Actually very important for me. I am a rather intuitive person in that respect, smell was the first thing I figured out, and I really wouldn't like if he deviated from it, but we'll se about that...

 

Anyway, the smell is a very particular one:

Apple Orchard after a cool spring rain: The slightly acidic smell of the wet green combined with the almost damp sweetness of apples/ apple blossoms. There is nothing I could ever dislike about it. xD

 

Voice: We'll see about that. ^_^

 

Personality: Paramount.

 

Alignment: (As said, I don't want to peg too much onto it, but here goes)

Primary: Lawful Neutral; Secondary: Neutral Good.

I decided on these because they create a little contrast to my alignemnt (Always Chaotic, penduling between neutral and good), if were such a simpleton, that is. xD

 

Moral Subset: I imagine my tulip having been an explorer/wanderer before I "claimed him for myself", this means that he spent most of his time by himself in nature, amongst plants and animals, thus his bonds to it are particularly strong (That's why I want that smell) a consequence of this is that his ideals aren't updated to the existence of society. His view is simple: Heliocentric, egalitarian, and devoted to natural law, meaning live and let live, with respect for every living being.

 

That might let him sound like a simpleton now, but I really rather aimed for the mind of a, say, buddhist monk rather than a gonky hermit. xD

 

I really want him to be, or at least act wiser than I am, I hardly ever follow my instincts and gut feelings, and am devastated after they have proven themselves right.

Someone like him could remind me of trusting my natural judgement a little more.

 

Alright, after this little derail, let's get systematic again!

 

 

Skills:

 

Orientation

Navigation

Excellent gut feeling (Including animalistic instincts like fight'n'flee)

Athletic

Knowledge in bilogy, animals, plants and geology/ geography (I don't need to acess that, am good enough in it myself, but it's just realistic and consequential)

Survivalist (making fires, handling makeshift tools and the like)

 

I really can't think of anything else right now. Already have an headache (I often do) and lack the sleep, I will get back to it, for sure, and you may have some suggestions, too, but so far, his skills arte a little... one-dimensional, IMO... that's not good... COULD make him flat....

 

 

Traits/feats (both "positive" and "negative"):

 

Intuitive

"People Person"

Nature boy (Good communication with animals and the like; down to earth)

Rational (connotates survivalism)

Optimist

Good-natured, good-humoured

Black hgumour

Rude humour

Talkative

Wise

Patient

Content

Dependable

Sensible

Empathetic

Self-confident

Slef-sufficient

Independent

Adaptable

Spiritualist (I am a very scientifically raised person, it keeps driving me to denounce and ridicule alternative views, I wanna change that.)

Understanding

Weathered

Experienced

Motivated

Thoughtful

Organized (Something i am not)

Creative/resourceful

Clear-minded (He has his goals before his eyes, his opinions don't shift as often as mine, he is generally more convinced of himself and his own view, and most importantly: He follows up on things he promises himself to do, a problem that I always strongly had and have is not doing taht/procrastinate a lot.)

Extrovert

Accepting

Carefree

Sly

Proud

Just

Calm

Protective

Warm

Awake

Deadpan Snarker

Honest

Serious( Something I hardly am, I don't always want him to be, since I can't live without silliness, but I would like someone who can give me a little slap-reminder if the situation requres it)

Starightforward

Hates cities

Dislikes Noise

Can be stubborn (I am a bit of a doormat)

Personal space invader (Posted as negative trait because I am very touchy, he could have those annyoing brolike mannerisms :P )

Overambitious

Balancedness can lead to Stoicism and indifference

Intolerant of murder (Something I don't have a problem with)

Drug abuser (As a nature boy he knows about the special effects of this and that little plant, and may use it if it helps the situation or pleases him. I hate drugs, I don't even drink alcohol)

Technophobe (A polar opposite to me, I might study engineering one day, that's gonna be hell of a fun with someone like taht around xD)

Neutralist (I want to change this world, and rid it of evil and mistakes, ideally, that is, but he just doesn't care that much, he goes by the motto "Nature fixes itself, don't worry be happy", and I actually can't stand passivity like that xD)

Hedonistic tendencies

 

 

Quirks:

Here i have some detailed mannerism that would be nice if he had them, but I don't think i would mind if he deviates them away.

 

Sniffy (Smell-sensitive)

Chiller (Lies down randomly, relaxes and slacks off relatively much)

The stare (When thinking hard about something he just gazes at the wall with a serious, almost grim expression)

Chuckles a lot

Pounces/ physical contact personality

Tilts his head when something interests him.

Sudden movements and noises startle him (Again, the whole natural instinct thing)

If he feels threatened he can become somewhat blank (tunnel vision and all that, again: animalistic nature stuff)

Always looks around for safe spots, hiding spots, upper grounds and safe locations.

Loves the sun and sunshine (I don't like it very much and am pretty much nocturnal :P)

Sarcastic tendencies

Crazy Prepared

 

 

Various Intelligences:

Because i want to flesh him out as much as possible, I'm actually gonna use this too:

 

Existential intelligence

With a buddhist near-enlightened monk being his partial blueprind, my tupper will obviously have it easy to think about and give satisfying answers on existential matters, just as he likes to ponder about them.

What he isn't good at, thoguh, is explaining his views directly, since his starightforwardness usually cause a lack of proper wording and understandability of such highly complex matters.

 

Linguistic Intelligence

Language is not so much his strong point as communication itself.

As much as I wished for it, with his kinda past and occupation, he simply isn't much of an eloquent and erudite person. He does his best, but usually his language is rather simple, and it's more convenient for him anyway.

 

Logical Intelligence

He has a systematical brain, he is an analyzer and a rationalizer. Collecting, storing, remembering and evaluating data is very easy for him, but this hardly ever goes beyond intuition level. His thought process is clear and logical, but simple: he analyzes surroundings for possible vantage points, natural behaviour stuff, higher systematics don't interest him very much, meaning that while he could easily learn psychoanalysis, he would lack the interest. he has his gut feeling instead.

Arythmetical Intelligence

Not very different from logical, but with one crucial difference: It is entierly man-made.

He never needed maths, units of measurement and the likes on his ventures, so while he may be able to unbdertsand them, he would never care about them.

 

Natural Intelligence

Obviously, extremely high, also tapping into the relation with intuition and emotional intelligence.

His absolute strong point

 

Spatial Intelligence

Good enough. Nothing Special, nothing too bad. This area is as you weould expect it from someone in his position (A bit sad since I deem mine to rather high)

Kinesthetic Intelligence

Same as Spatial: Someone like him knows his body and how to use it, toherwise, he wouldn't have survived, but that doesn't mean he can do over- the-top crazy acrobatic flips and the like.

 

Auditorial Intelligence

Instinctively high, systematically low.

He likes and enjoys music, and has a deep understanding and capability to differentiate sounds, but, much like me, when it comes to notes, and actually writing and playing music beyond whim level, he is hopelessly lost.

Interpersonal Intelligence

Personal is the wrong word. He knows how to talk to people, he is talkative, and he is very empathetic, especially towards animals, but again, systematical side lacks on him. he doesn't know social forms and manners, at least not that much, he has his own social conventions and usually rather relies on knowing what the other persn wants rather than following codes and rules of conversation.

 

Intarpersonal Intelligence

He spent lots of time alone, thus he obviously knows a lot about himself, he knows his limits, more or less, and knows how he himself works upon others. But that's about it, he just doesn't care much

 

 

 

Alright, for now, that's it!

 

I honestly think that I made this well so far, but who knows, maybe I did use enough traits and feats?

The only thing that is a little too empty for me yet is "Skills"

Anyway, I'm gonna write this all down and make something of a checklist for my first sessions (If you haven't figured it yet, I am still at zero hours!).

 

Input is highly requested!(Except when it comes from Fede xD)

Thanks if you had the patience to rad through all this!

^_^

[Vog]

I think you have a really awesome Tulpa in development, I play the occasional game of DnD myself so I find the method you're using is quite fascinating. I just starting working on my own Tulpa and I wish you the best of luck man.

[Vagabond]

Cool! Thankies! ^_^

 

 

Also: Now that I think about it:

 

Those various intelligence types could actually be a real-life form of ability points.

 

Off the top of my head i can easily think of Bodily intelligence to be like strenght and constitution, and existential intelligence is obviously wisdom... Not bad B)

[Kadoh]

Holy crap, that's pretty detailed. I didn't go that into detail when I started, but that's good that we are different because, to quote myself, "A unique approach creates a unique tulpa" I myself am only four hours in, you can read my report if you'd like, it's in my signature

[NanaTama]

Holy poopoo, that's some xbox huge text tower.

[Vagabond]

Heh, If you say so.. I actually worried taht I didn't go enough into detail yet...

[Kadoh]

Try bolding things In your post, if you don't know how, I can tell you. I'm not 100% on how to tell someone how to bold, without making your post bold though... TOG did it somehow

[Guest]

I must ask you to stop blowing dicks. It's not good for your self-respect.

 

What's my input, though? Well:

- Stop using so much formatting in your posts.

- Stop using so many traits. In fact, just use my method.

- Stop being so over detailistic. Your tupper will deviate and not end up as what you planned, so for your own good, stop wasting your time.

- Use my method.

- Use my tones.

- And make sure to use my method.

[Vagabond]

I must ask you to stop blowing yogurt cannons. It's not good for your self-respect.

I... what?

(BRB, checking urban dictionary for possible connotations)

I don't get it.

 

What's my input, though? Well:

Yay! Input xD

 

- Stop using so much formatting in your posts.

ಠ_ಠ

 

- Stop using so many traits. In fact, just use my method.

Eh, everyone says that you should have around 100 traits, and skimming them, I doubt these here listed to be more than half of that, and I read your guide, and I have to politely decline.

I actually thought that your guide was a sarcastic mock at all the teen peeps that have no patience and just want to have a TRUPAH HURR, not caring for it ending up like a servitor.

If that's not the case, then I guess your guide is good for getting results qucikly and having very authentic and stable hallucinations, but at cost of personality and connection, which is unfortunately an exact reverse of my priority list, so again, sorry, but, no.

 

- Stop being so over detailistic. Your tupper will deviate and not end up as what you planned, so for your own good, stop wasting your time.

I know, duh!

That's good, and I'm looking forward to that, it shows that I'm doing it right. ^_^

 

That's why I said: in the end, I wouldn't care THAT much for all the listed things to be in him, heck he may even change his gneder if he pleases, I REALLY just want to get the smell right, and that's not too much asked now, is it?

 

I made this list because I like doing that sorts of stuff, and having it at least gives a higher chance of all those traits ending up, so basically:

Don't worry, I got that all in check. (WOO-HAAAH!)

 

- Use my method.

No. ^_^

 

- Use my tones.

I have considered that already, I have actually experimented with auditorial manipulation on... other topics..... :)

 

- And make sure to use my method.

You sound like you could use a bagel.

Want a bagel?

 

Here!

Have a bagel. ^_^

 

 

All in all, I have the feeling you want me to exactly do what the founders fo this place and more experienced lads DON'T want all the noobs to do.

I has a confusion now.

[Sands]

Stop with that ^_^ oh god it is in my head now MAKE IT STOP OH GOD SO SHARP MY EYES
