Assigning Non-Personality Attributes/Powers

[ThatOneStupidIdiot]

(apologies if there was already a thread for this, i didn't really know what to search for)

 

I'm just now starting to tulpaforce (following faq_man's guide, barely started the personality stage), and I've seen people talking about the powers their tulpae had like casting fireballs and shrinking down and stuff, but I have yet to see anything actually detailing how you give your tulpa those kinds of powers. Do I narrate the details to them during the personality stage as if they were character traits? Do I visualize them throwing fireballs/changing size or whatever else during visualization? Will they just automatically have whatever powers I want them to have?

 

Also, what about things like views and preferences (religious affiliation, preferred type of music, favorite species of cephalopod, etc.)? I was reading this guide and there was a brief warning not to list things that will affect a personal taste in interest or belief during the personality stage, but I have no idea if I should listen to it or not because it didn't mention why.

 

I feel like somebody is going to make a post with something along the lines of "whatever you think will work best is literally the exact thing that will work best for you", but I just want to be sure.

That "guide" is a bunch of other guides, pasted together sloppily with other untrue stuff. You can tell them what they want to be, and if they don't like it, they'll change it.

 

If you want to give they superpowers, whatever works for you will work well. One way that a lot of people(including myself) did it, is that you put your tulpa in a jar, and fill it with the essence of the trait. So, if you're making them breath fire, you fill the jar with everything you associate with breathing fire. Visualizing them breathing said fire is good if you want them to breath it in a certain way, so will always do it in that fashion.

The same goes for traits, do it however you feel is right.

in my case, I just gave it to her :/

You just expect your tulpa to have it, nothing else. If you expect she can fly, change form at will, teleport or whatever - she simply will.

It's already been answered but I felt I had to post since Nova (my tulpa) throws around fireballs.

 

There are different ways to create tulpa. Some of the guides have you start with nothing while other guides will suggest you choose traits, skills and even the tulpa's favorite species of cephalopod. Starting with a base can really help your tulpa along and if the tulpa doesn't end up liking something then they can always tell you and change it.

You shouldn't give your tulpa opinions. Anyway, Tulpae do what they want. My Tulpae change whatever they want or do whatever, because they believe they can and I don't stop them.

I know this isn't what you were asking, but I feel like you really need to lurk more. The fact that you are using faq_man's guide tells me you probably haven't put enough effort into researching and reading the threads posted on this forum. I get that you want to have a Tulpa fast because it sounds awesome and exciting, but I can't help but see rushing into tulpaforcing as extremely childish, I mean you're going to be spending alot of time creating this Tulpa, so you want the end result of your time to be just right down to the last detail, correct? You are creating something that you are probably going to be spending the rest of your life with, all I'm saying is put a decent amount of effort into it. I'm sorry if I've been insulting, I just view it as my personal responsibility to put my best effort into making my tulpa. I mean, If you were the one being created you would want whoever was creating you to do as good of a job as possible, right?

When did I ever imply that I was rushing into it? I know this is going to take time, and I'm trying to plan out a schedule for tulpaforcing sessions that I can keep up every day for however long it takes. Yes, I'm using faq_man's guide, but it's not the only one I've read. I'm just using it because it simplifies things and doesn't bother with any methods involving symbolism (glowing orbs full of essence and shit) or anything like that. If there's a better one you'd recommend that doesn't have things like that (because i personally cannot see those methods working for me), then feel free to show it to me.

I've lurked through about one or two pages worth of threads, and I've spent a lot of time reading through other peoples' guides and experiences. I'm not sure if I've researched as much as I should have, but I feel like I have an adequate idea on how to do this. Sorry if I come off as arrogant, but I don't really see what could go wrong unless I end up making some really obvious mistake like parroting, but those kinds of things are warned about everywhere. If you have any other beginner warnings for me that I might not have heard before, let me know.

I'm getting some mixed advice from this thread. My current plan is to narrate the attributes to her during personality development and then visualize them later just to be thorough, unless I can get a definitive opinion here or someone warns me not to (with an explanation as to why).

I didn't mean rushing as in rushing the actual creation length, I just meant as in rushing to start as soon as possible. This is all just based on assumption, so forgive me if I'm missjudging, I'm just trying to be helpful.

Well as far as FAQ_man's guide goes I've never really heard anything good about it, and most people just say it's outdated and has incorrect hour counts, I have read it myself but didn't really retain anything from it that I haven't seen in other guides. The symbolism you seem to be avoiding is merely a tool used to help get rid of any uncertainty the creator may have that their actions are working by visualizing that they are actually pushing the traits into their tulpa, which reinforces the process in some peoples minds. It isn't required in any way it is just an aid for people who think they may need it. I would actually recommend not to follow a set guide and to only use them as guidelines, retaining creation methods you like from the many various guides available on this site. I will however recommend reading Methos's Tulpa Creation Guide, along with Fede's Ultimate Superior Tulpa Guide, I found them both to be helpful.

Well if you've read two pages worth of guides then you probably have done enough research and I wouldn't worry about it too much. Some people make parroting seem like a bigger deal than it is and a controlled amount of parroting can be helpful in the early stages, though people used to avoid parroting like the plague for fear of creating a servitor. I personally believe the fear that it can happen is the main reason it does happen due to belief that it will if the creator isn't careful enough. Anyways, I hope this helps, and goodluck.
