Unfortunately there isn't a lot of outside documentation on it (the biggest one being Sagan Hawkes' video essay These People Aren't Real), but one I'd like to submit is Stockroach/Nightroach from the Stockroach ARG. Nightroach appears to be an alter who stays up late at night and holds traumatic memories. When Stockroach finds files from Nightroach, he doesn't seem to recall ever making them, and Nightroach is heavily implied to be a separate consciousness.

Yeah, we would have to actually watch it to confirm, so this is going in the maybe section for now, thanks!

This suggestion may be a bit difficult to classify, but the browser game "Corru Observer" features a piece of living technology (a corrucyst) used for storing memories, one of which was installed in an alien named Akizet. The corrucyst in question is eventually removed from Akizet and the thoughtforms in the cyst that hold certain memories become sentient. Maybe this would count? Not sure if "the corrucyst" is a character though, but I could argue Akizet herself was also plural. While the corrucyst is a distinct organism from Akizet, the line between her and her corrucyst is made blurry; she kept it in her body while she was alive, and at least one thoughtform contained within the corrucyst was capable of communicating with her in her mind and directly overriding her body language.

Because we are having trouble navigating the wiki and there doesnt seem to be a ton of information to judge with, we are going to put it in maybe for now, thanks!

I can't believe no one's mentioned them yet, but Shinichi and Migi from Parasyte: The Maxim and Jeong Su-In from the new spinoff Parasyte: The Grey. They both have to share their body and learn to co-operate with alien parasites, Su-In is VERY plural, since she made her parasite have to actually switch, and she learns about it through leaving messages to each other in a notebook.

Also sorry for the ramble, it's my absolute favorite anime and the new spinoff is also fantastic so far.

Theyve been added, thanks!

I’d like to bring Tale of the Nine Tailed to your consideration. It’s a K-drama and can be found on Netflix. The plural themes start showing up pretty early (maybe third or fourth episode?) so if you don’t have the time to watch the show, then most of the relevant information should be available online

The wikipedia page seems to indicate that Nam Ji-ah does indeed qualify so she has been added, thanks!

Luvia & Ray from Path to Nowhere are a canon DID system (it's stated in game that she has Dissociative identity disorder in her Mutation Assessment), feel free to add them to the list if you have time. Absolutely adore them <3

Thanks! Theyve been added!

On your list we noticed several Batman Characters but not Batman himself who in the comics created a Headmate Zur En Arrh to essentially be what Bruce thinks a Batman with No Bruce Wayne in him would look like

Theyve been added! Thanks!

Thoughts on OK KO? (Prof. Venomous and KO's systems)

If you are asking to add them to the list, they have been added to the list already.

If you are asking if we have watched the show already- no. We have not ever watched the show and therefore definitely do not have a review of it yet.

Hey, another BSD fan here! Atsushi's tiget definitely has agency in a median way, it's addressed in an episode. Rashoumon is shaky, could go either way? But they make it clear over and over again it has its own thought processes separate from Akutagawa. As for Dostoyevsky, he was setting up a trap for a while that involved faking being plural, so the other anon might have fallen for it!

Ok, theres been enough back and forth on this that Atsushi and Akutagawa have been moved to maybe and will stay there until we see the show.

Thanks!

Bungou Stray Dogs anon again! Hi! And you’re welcome! (Also thanks for having this blog. I’ve recently discovered my plurality and it’s been nice being able to have a resource like this)

Glad we can be of use!

Would somebody who became plural due to magical stuff count for the list? Or somebody who was born plural still due to magical stuff? I checked the FAQ and I couldn't find anything for that

It doesnt matter *how*, it matters that the material experience has consistent 'more than one' experiences such as internal communication and/or switching. The other entity needs to have self-agency to some degree. They do need to share a body in some way.

We are looking at somatic experiences here, and 'fantasy plurality' counts.

Hi! Just wanted to pop in and say that for the Bungou Stray Dogs plurals, Akutagawa and Rashoumon aren’t really plural (or, at the very least, it’s very arguable)

The short version: The one scene the other anon mentions comes of more as she/her being used for Rashoumon the same way she/her is used for like boats and cars (than, say, a headmate/alter or even other characters— or sentient superpower since that’s kind of a thing in this media— who’s pronouns are she/her) especially when you have the context of the media and Dead Apple movie (if you want to read it— you absolutely don’t have to— I’ll send the context in a separate ask so this isn’t like a small novel)

(I’m also curious as to why Fyodor Dostoevsky is listed— as in genuine curiosity for the reasoning)

(This all being said, this is your blog. You do you and all that (meant in a positive/encouraging manner) :) )

We could not honestly remember why any of them are on the list. TV tropes probably temporarily had lies on it? Maybe?

Its weird. None of them fit the criteria we have had since the beginning.

Atushi comes the closest but The Tiger doesnt seem to have self-agency

Baffled how they got there and dont remember adding them in the first place, so they have all been removed! Thanks!

Aes and Alice from Metallic Rouge are an explicit DID system and I love them

Confirmed through wikipedia, thanks! Theyve been added!

how do you feel about the Craftworld Eldar from Warhammer 40k?

thanks to the fact they are inhertly more emotional and passionate then humans and created a pscionic parasite/malicious tulpa.

it causes them to go through "masks/paths" which are separate personas that the Eldar construct.

exarchs also channel the spirits of fallen Eldar warriors. so pluralism is a part of eldar culture. creating opposite sex personas is also normal in eldar soecity

TV tropes says they purposefully compartmentalize themselves into different 'paths' as a cultural norm as an adaptive trait.

This would be plural, yes.

For the Exarch, after a little digging it confirms that they do have the separate self agency rather than it being a merger into a single self, so this is also plural.

They have been added, thanks!

Preyas Angelo & Diablo are very explicitly plural in Bakugan!! :D

Theyve been added, thanks!

Danny Torrance/Tony from The Shining is all but outright stated to be plural and shows several symptoms of DID. I can vouch for the movie at least, but I haven't read the book - though I have been told by a book reader that there was a lot of plural rep in the text

Thanks! Theyve been added!

Deadly Premonition 1 and 2 and Being John Malkovich. Not perfect sources but definitely get things right are are campy and a lot of fun.

Not seeing a John Malkovich in the character list, do you mean Francis York Morgan who is already on the list?

For the list: The Harem Protagonist Was Turned Into A Girl!! And Doesn’t Want To Change Back!!!?? has the Mynx girls.

While this looks like a neat book, we can find very little on it without actually reading it, so it will go in maybe for now!
