I cannot explain it easily. When I played CT and saw her, it just clicked in my mind that I should become her.
At least I'm not getting influenced by Grand Theft Auto *laugh*
Haha, point taken!
You realize the difference between you and the character is like that between Mike Meyers and Verne Troyer, right?
Do you hold, then, that identity is not a construction of the mind but in fact a physical quantity tied to the body?
Interesting assumption. I believe that some people can not help who or what they are, and the best way (that works for me) to get through it is to make the best of what you've got rather than wish it were different. I do understand everyone's different though and that others may not believe the same things.
I think having goals, dreams, motivation, etc. are fantastic, and some really do get to "live the dream" so to speak. However, many just wish they could, which is rather sad. In this instance, if PSZ has a legal name change, gets some blue hair dye, and insists she is from Zeal, and makes a few other changes that are already in progress, then yes, she could be "a" Schala. But she will never be "the" Schala. As long as PSZ is comfortable being a Schala and not the Schala, there's no problem. But it seems as though that's not the case, hence my concern.
