Anathema March 22, 2013 March 22, 2013 Well then, it's time for me to finally say hello to everyone here. My nick is Anathema, but you can simply call me Anth. It's been a while since I registered here and I'd like to be able to say that I made a huge progress... but that wouldn't be true. In fact, I haven't made any progress at all, for I haven't even started yet. It might be funny for some that I register on a forum about tulpaforcing not being sure if I really want a tulpa... Well, that's me. I have to think about everything for a billion times before making final decision. Especially when it comes to such things which can affect my life for many years, if not forever. Actually, I haven't made my mind yet. I mean, I'm not entirely sure. I'd really like to have a tulpa, someone to accept me unconditionally, with all my flaws and weirdness, someone to discuss my craziest thoughts with. (It sounds as if I didn't have any friends or family to talk to; it's not true though, I have a lot of kind people next to me, but they don't always understand my oddness... I hope you see what I mean.) But on the other hand how can I possibly know how it will affect my life in, let's say, ten years? Will I be able to give the tulpa enough time and affection having my own life and everyday duties? Is it fair to give 'life' to something knowing that one day I might not need it anymore? I have so much doubt... Although, I've thought a lot about my tulpa's appearance and character. And I've been almost sure about most of it, till now. Now that I'm writing this post, I've started to think about it and I don't know what I want anymore (yes, I'm a woman, that explains a lot). My idea was to create a tulpa based on a character from 'X-Men: Evolution' cartoon, the Nightcrawler. He was one of my favourite characters when I was a kid and I still feel a lot of affection towards him. I still think it would be awesome to have such a companion. But I've started to watch Doctor Who (I'm a little bit of a TV geek) and I started wondering if I don't want my tulpa to be more like him. And it would be, as I imagine, much easier to visualise a human than a cartoon character. And now I'm in a fix. What to do? Both ideas seem just super-awesome to me, how should I decide? I would appreciate any advice or opinions, since I only have theoretical knowledge of the topic of tulpa and absolutely no practical experience. Thanks in advance.
fennecfoxx March 22, 2013 March 22, 2013 Whatever you choose, make sure your tulpa knows they simply have the form (and name) of their character and are not ACTUALLY that character; encourage them to be themselves and not try to be a copy of a character. Also, do NOT give your tulpa their character's backstory. Deluded myself into believing my imaginary friends were real, then deluded myself into thinking they weren’t.

Lacquer March 22, 2013 March 22, 2013 You could make your tulpa formless initially, and have it choose its own form when it reaches sentience (or vocality or whatever assuming sentience from start).
