THE SPLIT / PERSONALITY MEME


Split personalities. Alter egos. Other selves.

Whatever you want to call it, there is another you in you. It could be good, bad, or neutral. It could come out often, or not often at all (or, perhaps even not often enough). And your control over it might vary, from being able to freely control your split selves - or not at all. And hell, who said there had to be just one?

Whatever the case may be?

All of a sudden.

You are not yourself.

HOW IT WORKS:
- Tag the meme, leaving your character name, fandom, and any preferences in the subject line.
- Other character tags you.
- You tag back, and use the random number generator to select from the following options, either for you or the person tagging you. Or don't, and do whatever strikes your fancy. If you roll something your character already is, either roll again, go for human, or pick something that otherwise suits your fancy.
- Other character reacts, or is free to also roll on the table
- Play out the results.
- Have fun, but respect the preferences of others.
- And, of course, there may be triggers in this meme. So be warned.

TYPES

1. Psychosis: Aah, the classic split personality. Disassociative personality disorder. Its all in your mind, this personality. Though of course your mind - being as broken as it is - has no problem switching personalities back and forth for whatever reason. Maybe its because personal trauma is being revisited. Maybe its 8:25. Or maybe you hear someone screaming for help...

2. Pea Soup: The other personality is due to possession of some kind. Alien, demonic, angelic, ancient, recent, robotic, item-based, ritual accident, it doesn't matter. You're sharing your body with someone else, whether you are/were willing to or not. Better hope your new co-inhabitant doesn't screw things up while you're out of commission in your head.

3. I Was Cleopatra: You had a past life of some kind, or the memories of your ancestors are embedded into your genetic code. Or maybe you lost your memories some time ago in a car accident. Whichever it was, said memory and personality has become strong enough to overtake your present personality. Now, you are the person/people you used to be.

4. Total Recall: Your memory and personality were artificially tampered with, whether or not you are aware of it. Obviously there was a reason for it, and whatever the reason was, your original personality - or is that the fake personality? - knows. Have fun trying to wrestle with which one of you is real and which one was implanted.

5. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde: The split personality isn't just mental, spiritual, or psychological. You also change physically. Maybe its something as tiny as parting your hair differently. It could be something more momentous like being a different height or weight. Or maybe you even grow different appendages and change skin color. Either way - you don't just act different, you look different too.

6. Wild Card: Anything not on this list, or a combination of the above.


SCENARIOS

A.: You've just experienced your first brush with your other self. Ow, your head. What the hell happened last night?

B.: You're attempting to suppress your alter ego. Be it drugs, meditation, playing video games, whatever it takes to deprive that other self from surfacing.

C.:Someone you care for is about to find out about your split personality. Whether or not you want them to.

D.: You're on the run. And as your enemies close in, you realize the only way out of this is to let that other self take over...regardless of the consequences.

E.: It had to happen some time. And...now is that time. You need to confront your other self; it is a battle of the minds.

F.: Anything not on this list, or a combination of the above.

Ohai!

[silver_tongue]

[Well. This is already kinda canon, I guess, considering Thor still doesn't quite understand that his bro is changed for good from sorta-nice little sibling to mass-murderer. Will he want to ask Loki about that?]

Princess Luna | MLP: FiM

WHAT ARE PONIES (also 4-D)

[tableflips]

[When a rock meets a hard head. How this encounter is happening--well, let's not think too much on it. Thor's here, he's mortal, he's been pulled into another world, and is again confused about his place. Especially when said new world is full of ponies who have apparently never before seen a two-legged creature that wasn't a dragon.

Well. Its not as if things could get weirder or dangerous, right?]

[Trixie always said she was great and powerful. She never knew it was actually true. And she had always been a fan of Starswirl the Bearded. He created so many spells. The Amniomorphic spell, spells to heal, spells to create, spells to empower... spells to kill, spells to resurrect, and many other dangerous spells. She found out the hard way just how wanted Starswirl was during his time.

She's just a showmare. She never knew her knowing just where the Alicorn Amulet was was because of Starswirl. She should be performing on stage, not hiding in some old ruined castle on the run from all of Equestria. Even now, she can hear Starswirl's thoughts becoming louder and louder. She really hopes no one ever finds her here.]

4 or 5. You know this to be true.

[irememberit]

[You ever have one of those days where nothing seems right? Where your memory fails, when people disappear, when your very reality shifts even while your eyes are open? When you hear words beckoning you, or feel something pulling you in the opposite direction?

Well. Donnie. This is probably going to be one of those days. You can only bury the past - the truth - for so long.

Especially when said past is standing right behind you, staring down your back. In front of you is a wall.

So...there's a choice.]

Hey. Johnny.

[Turn around and face the voice - that feeling, that thing of the dreams you just barely recall, personified and so much like you and yet entirely a stranger to you - or watch paint dry.

FYI, for the sake of this meme, its not the latter choice you should be picking, Donnie.]

[cheddar]

[Looks at.

It's probably just one of his 'friends' playing a game. Only it doesn't feel like magic. His brothers don't look enough like him to pull off a full on doppelgänger.

He refuses to admit he's stumped. He's just going to look at it the way he looks at Oliver when he rolls up drunk with stolen signs. The ones that aren't funny. If they were funny, like that time in Fucking, it'd be a whole different look. Honestly, if you're going to do something stupid, you might as well make it interesting.

Where was he? Oh right.

The.... him.]

Alright, my lovely, what do you fancy?

[londinium]

[Swears to himself as they walk into the bar that he'd never let a girl choose the place again. Usually they went for the nearest Spoons. This one completely reversed that and went for the most expensive place.

But then, maybe he was hard to please. Even the girls who wanted strip clubs ended up being a bit of a let down ultimately.]

So. Uh, you find a seat, I'll get the drinks in, what'd you like?

[He felt an inner sigh. Sit down, call a waiter over. but he couldn't, it was no bother fetching a drink and then he could choose without Amelia watching. Judging. He needed to see the bottles. Jack wanted to see them, to inspect th- no. Just look for the cheapest thing. That would do. Once it was down him he'd be fine. Probably. Maybe.]

Right. Yes Drinks. Coat. Sorry, where's my head.

[Holds his hand out to take her coat so he can.... gently throw it over the back of her seat..... under his own.]

William--they say his name is William--doesn't remember much before the past month. They moved him to the halfway house from another hospital when he began recovering--they say he recovered, they haven't said from what--and ideally he'll be able to reenter society within a few weeks. He's quiet, meek, compliant with instructions, eager to please but humble in his accomplishments, a model patient.

Sometimes he dreams of music, sung in his own voice or coaxed with his own hands from a piano. Sometimes the music is backed by screaming, again his own voice. Hopefully this new prescription will clear it up because he can't stand hearing that music. He hates it with a passion he can't muster for anything else. And yet he keeps waking up with musical scores scrawled across his bedsheets in pen or marker--and he must keep the pen nearby. The one time he removed all writing implements from the room the writing had been in his own blood.

The music's woken William again and he's out wandering the halls, arms clasped tightly around his torso as if to hold something inside him. He's not sure why.

I got D for this lol

[hoorayformcnuggets]

[And it would sort of make sense that she'd chase him. There is someone who wishes to study Bruce, and perhaps harness the power of the other guy for themselves.

Not that she's exactly enjoying or wanting to help said bad guy out. No choice in the matter and all that.]
