Roleplay Tax

undefined:

Roleplay tax is a phenomenon where if a system roleplays as a character or person, they have an increased likelihood of forming an introject of that character or person.

Roleplay tax may be seen as a type or modification of a system's introjection threshold, which refers to the ease with which they form introjects.

A system may notice a shapeling when they near or reach their roleplay tax and have the option to choose between letting an introject fully form or back off and let them fade.

Some systems that experience roleplay tax may place boundaries on the context of their roleplays (such as specific settings of a DnD campaign or certain character backstory elements) to avoid or guide introjecton, which may lead to intentives. Some systems may also choose character traits based on existing members to avoid introjection, though this may lead to the member in question becoming an ouroboros.


 * An intraject/mimiject is a headmate that formed from their system continuously mimicking real or fictitious people, and was introjected as a result.
 * An intrastratum is a layer in a system that formed through prolonged mimicry, or that contains populations/locations/narratives/etc that mimic/mirror other people.
 * Mostives, OCtives, autojects, and dungeonborn are all introjects of original characters, and their source may have been originally created for roleplay purposes.
