im not quite sure if he fully counts, but Neo here (bio is a wip) is a friendly Wolf with quite a few heads, each with their own personality! They (mostly) all get along, and have to work together to ensure survival.
Any form of long-term body-sharing is welcome here! Haunted/possessed characters, characters with DID, symbiotes/hosts, characters who just happen to be in the same brain... anything else you can think of.
I'm especially interested in characters in the same body who look after and care about each other, or who otherwise have learned to work together. :o
Almondlover They definitely count, thanks for sharing!!!
Also, I might as well share my own, so! On my end, I've got a group that collectively goes by the Dissonant, and in another setting, I've got Solus and Fausta.
(both drawings were done by my amazing friend Shazzbaa!)
The Dissonant looks intimidating, but they're really just interested in collecting stories. They've been together almost as long as they can remember and are used to working as a team.
Sol (a nervous historian) and Fausta (a tired old soldier) had their own bodies, but thanks to nonsense happening in the RP they're in, Fausta's gotten shoved into Sol's Puny Human Form. Considering that she's normally an eight-foot-tall wolfish creature with mighty darkness powers and Sol is a scrawny nerd, she's not too happy about it. But she's doing her best to get herself and Sol back home and/or look after All These Kids with what she has!
This guy does! He shares his body with a demon parasite. The demon doesn't really talk unless he is hungry. Hyung sometimes forgets or waits too long and then the demon ends up taking over to satiate his hunger. He wears muzzles/masks to prevent random incidents (usually when hes angry)
oh, my guy is kinda sharing a body??? idk but like... the body and the head are from two different people (hyunseung + junhyun) and jae's abilities are an enhanced version of theirs. their minds tend to clash and have two diff perspectives of things?? for example like... when it comes to partying, hyunseung hated partying (he hated the amount of interaction at a time), but junhyun loved every single party he went to (he was very social and enjoyed meeting new people), so there are times where jae is a party animal. there are times where he switches perspectives, so he might be partying like crazy one minute, but then isolate himself and have some alone time the next minute. idk if its making sense but it do be like that
under spoiler bc this got long i'm sorry ;w;
jaehyuk here (linking his troll AU profile, kelion, bc his human AU doesn't have info on it atm) has DID as a result of childhood trauma. he's got two main alters (but likely has many others, but no-one really knows much of them AKA i'm not making any more characters for this) jae's a very solitary, quiet guy who tends to 'weird ppl out' due to the fact that he's very robotic in the sense that he's not really one to outwardly show much emotion and doesn't have a clear sense of humour (tho he's usually in a pretty happy and content mood, his friends know he's cool) - he's also quite airheaded, creative, and tends to say really obscure things at odd times bc sometimes his brain to mouth filter doesn't exactly work
he's really interested in plants, flowers, herbs - ect - and spends a lot of his time gardening and documenting his plants' growth and progress. he doesn't really seem all that bothered by what his alters do or what predicaments he finds himself in due to them, he's used to it and mostly sees them as an inconvenience
losing days or weeks used to frighten him a lot until his older adoptive sister suggested he keep a journal (which she told the other alters as well) and the three alters together regularly write abt what's been happening or things like what school tests they had to study for and the like, which really helped him cope
his main alter, rahart (troll AU profile if anyone wants to read info), seems to front over half the time due to his 'trigger' being anytime jae's scared - from anything from a toaster popping and making him jump to getting lost at night - and rahart's a very complex character (bc i've had him since abt 2013) who has a lot going on
he's not comfortable knowing he's part of a system and constantly uses that to fuel his depression by telling himself things like 'i'm not a real person' and the like, but lucky he's got a lot of friends that spend a lot of time trying to get him to realise he's worth more than he thinks
rahart's a really important character to me and has had the most development out of all my OCs, and he's one of my favourites :0
seulki (no human profile at all as i have no art of her yet, troll AU has no text but has art) is the other alter and she's more of the diligent, studious kind. she's easily stressed and tends to be quite snappy as a result and difficult to get along w/
she hoards stationary and basically lives at her desk - designing clothes and choreography whenever she's not studying. out of the three she has the most difficulty w/ english (while rahart's fluent and jae's kinda in the 'can understand fluently but speaking is hard' part) so she spends a lot of time studying that
the thing that the three find most difficult is managing relationships. while they all seem to have the same friend group (w/ rahart having a few extra on the side that aren't the best influences), they have different romantic relationships. jaehyuk and fenix (foxxis) were highschool sweethearts, but things kind of got rocky when rahart accidentally got his lover alicia (alscia) pregnant. rahart was thrilled to be a dad (as he's more or less infertile so he thought he'd never get the chance), once jae found out he was quite distant - however, once he saw the child for the first time his Dad Mode was quick to activate and he began to dote on her, while seulki more prefers being seen as more of a 'big sister' and doesn't really want to take responsibility for the child - which alicia totally understands
thankfully, fenix and alicia fully understood that jaehyuk and rahart (while sharing the same body) are in a way, different ppl - so their separate relationships continued after the bump in the road was smoothed out
while having DID means his life isn't easy, jae's fairly content and comfortable as he knows his alters won't do anything stupid ever (even tho rahart has a tendency to get into trouble, as he's terrible w/ social cues)
i ended up rambling but that's the short of it, i guess? obv it's a lot more complex than it is here in writing but i'm really not good at summarising so this is as good as it's gonna get 😅
(Sharing both since one of them is under WIP with apperance) https://toyhou.se/2962625.diana https://toyhou.se/2946677.shadow
So Diana was, well is a scientist that was able to get hired with life foundation. Sure the were a little...over the top but she was able to do what she loved. It was also the cause of her getting bonded to a symbiote. Shadow had escaped the facility and found the young scientist on her day off working her little hobby job when she decided to claim her as a host.
So yeah Diana has a para- I mean a symbiote bonded to her that really enjoys hearts, chocolate, and Carmel. Tbh their a well set up team after awhile, though at times there a huge mess.
Damian here shares a body with the plates (I best summarize it as elemental spirits lmao). They ended up sharing a body permanently due to a incident that nearly lead to Damian nearly dying and the plates themselves merging with him to save him. They get along quite long since they have been together for quite a while.
I also have Kane here. Kane has DID with with his headmates representing elements of his species. King Oliver represents his ice demon side and acts like your average stuck up prince. Ouro represents his snake demon side and is a bit more animistic. Oberon represents his Incubus side and is flirty. (I think I went into deeper detail of their personality on Kane's page.
I believe I have a few more characters but these are the main ones I can think of.
In a way Nikolai kinda does? His body has two souls inside it: his and Sloth's. He often hears Sloth in his mind whenever he pipes in to give some commentary, and there are moments where Sloth will possess him for a short amount of time. When Nikolai uses his full power it kinda turns gray area? Like, their souls kind of combine/merge? Nikolai still has full control but Sloth can easily override if he needs too (or wants to).
