What Are Your Alter Egos Like?

[MckieM]

A condition for MD is that you have elaborate fantasies, usually an alter ego, grander version of yourself who lives the life you don't.

I created an alter ego in 2001, at 16. It started when I heard about Garth Brooks, and how he made an album as his alter ego, who's an Australian pop star named Chris Gaines. People kept saying he had gone crazy, but after that, I found myself imaging an alter ego, too. My alter ego's a world famous fashion model/actress and aspiring singer, with a Physics degree from Oxford, just because. Crazy? I know so much about this character, where she was born,  her parents' names, etc. Now, she has taken over my life. I wrote fiction stories about her adventures, in the hopes that writing them down would remove her from my mind, but it hasn't.

I have multiple alter egos. Most of which are older, more improved versions of me all doing something I'd like to be doing in my wildest dreams. Journalism, screenwriter, singing, something like that and usually are just a version of me in the future. I've had a few who are completely different than me, but usually it's someone fairly similar to me.

Just curious, do you have a name for you alter ego? Or is it your name?

[MckieM]

I used to call my alter ego Bella, until Stephenie Meyer ruined the name. So now, she's me. I have to find a new name for her because I am turning her into a fictional story...novella.

It's me (when I was younger, my imaginary best friend now was at the time, sometimes me, sometimes someone else, but now she's her and I'm me. But I'm not real. If that makes sense.)

I am a little louder and more talkative, I am much wittier, and can hide or show emotions perfectly well, and don't just laugh when someone says something funny, and agree, but can actually make them speechless.

I also can turn into a darkish silver wolf and werewolf, and a bigger black wolf, and a phoenix and Articuno-type creature (Pokémon, anyone?)  and a Raven Mocker (House of Night, anyone?)

I can also be a lot quieter and sneakier when I want to be, and sly, and can plan stuff better.

Also, 'lately', I've learned to not change into a creature fully but only parts of my (like, in phoenix form, I can control fire, but I'm learning to do that with only changing physically a tiny bit, and with the wolf, I can change my eyes, teeth, and add my tail. I also can change my vocal chords or throat or something more like a wolf's is, and then sing really well. I'm a really, really sucky singer in real life. I can also add some of the werewolf muscle[only a very little bit if I don't thicken my arms at all, if I let them thicken I can fit in more muscle and get stringer. If that makes sense.]) 

My Daydream me is also funnier and happier and a little less numb. (I can still feel emotion but just not so strongly. Ugh. Ah well.)

DD me also can do some impossible mind stuff, including reading minds, though I have to concentrate, and avoid it because I don't like invading people's privacy, but I can be a bit careful in what I dig up. I can also have 'energy'. Or maybe it's aura, and control that, let some but not all substances go through it, have it go through stuff or push or pick up stuff. It's sort of a misty silver, calm pulsing darker and lighter silvers.

I usually avoid it but can also be more confrontational if I need to, and more violent too. (In my daydream.)

Mine is a writer who has had a bunch of trauma in her past.  Little things can change from DD to DD but she pretty much stays the same.  I also feel like I know her and her life and family so well.
