>How do we call the Tulpa host?

Tulpamancer

 

Sounds like a magician to me, lol.

Sounds like awesome to me! It stays!

[Irish]

THE DARK TULPAMANCER

GIRL TULPAMANCER

 

TUL-PA-OH CARDS

[FAQ man]

To me "host" sounds completely demeaning. Why not just call it a person with a tulpa and leave it at that? Not everything has to have a fancy word for it.

[Irish]

But tulpamancer sounds cool~

 

That or we could go full on Stargate SG-1 and call us the Goa'uld

[Uguubee]

Generally you just refer to the person as 'the individual', in most psychology, so I don't see why we should adopt the '-mancer' suffix from psuedo-magicks.

I'd think of us more as the Tok'ra. Though, both of them still call their hosts 'hosts'.

[recansspunners]

"mancy" does imply magickal traditions and all that, but also speaks "to speak" or "to divine/predict". So I suppose it's fitting as a playful term. I'll add host and tulpamancer; they're by no means obligatory. I should also add "parroting" and "puppeting/puppeteering".

Nah. Seriously. I think Host is ok for conversation, and tulpamancer for creepy t-shirt. glossary.png ?

I'll PNG it up into something redistributable and useable on the guide page once it's been here for a week or so and we have some consensus on definitions and made sure we haven't missed anything vital.

Oh. And Imaginary Friend? I know it's like Servitor, but I think it'll be nice to mention it somehow. Many newcomer will surely use this term.
