[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 5068856, member: 3867"] I'm glad you brough up the Hulk, as he's a prime example of what we're talking about. I want to say the best Hulk stories I ever read revolved around the grey Hulk (my favorite). There was an issue where Doc Samson went into Bruce Banner's mind, and saw Banner, the green Hulk, and the grey Hulk all at once. Three distinct personalities, all of which were brought about due to Banner being abused as a child. The end result was that all the personalities were brought together to form one of the best versions of the Hulk ever, with Banner's brains, the green Hulk's power, and the grey Hulk's attitude. You need to consider powers and abilities, and whether those powers and abilities will conflict from personality to personality. Also consider what triggers the change, and whether that is DM or player controlled. Does the change happen at night, or under the light of a moon? Is it based on geography? Ask yourself what triggered the MPD to begin with. Is it a curse, where multiple people are put in the same body? Child abuse, ala the Hulk? Or maybe it's something like Nikki from Heroes. Look at what you want the end result to be. Do you want one personality to eliminate the others? Do you want the personalities to merge, ala the Hulk? Egad, I just remembered an intelligent sword I had created with a MPD back in my early gaming days. It was called Assimilator ( :p ). Nine live stealer that absorbed up to nine people's souls in it, all of whom were of a different alignment. [/QUOTE]
