hi Emile,
in our system Mike is based on a person we used to know who was a mentor for L for a long time.
Mike existed before, he just changed and learned and turned himself into the mentor and finally picked up his name too.

i know i read it somewhere but i am not sure if it was a scientific page...
that sometimes, with a long-term T relationship, DID systems would "create" an alter just like that T.
Dx: DID cPTSD

According to my shoddy abnormal psychology book it left room for say from people you've previously known. Echoing or something or other I was too lazy to go and get it lol

Hi there,

I have a Caregiver part based on Mary Poppins. I also have an angry teenager based on a Bully I named Renee. They are both named after them as well.

Definitely. Quite common, in fact.

PS to Daniel....If you apply the color tag, make sure not to use the British spelling (colour), because BBcode won't recognize it, and your color won't show up.
