Projector

undefined:

A projector is a headmate who can project themself out of their soma while it is resting in headspace. Their soma might be taking a void nap or just physically inactive. A projector may only be able to project into front or may have an astral-like form in headspace with which they can interact with headspace. A projection is a dream or astral form of the projector and therefore may struggle to physically interact with headspace.

There is usually some memory barrier between a headmate's projection and their soma. Since the headmate is essentially dreaming while their projection is active, the memories from projection might feel like memories from a dream or otherwise somewhat hazy. The projector might also be required to make an active effort to download the data packet from the projection.

Due to projection using less brain power than the full headmate, the projector might age regress, appear younghearted, or be in little space while projecting.

Multisomatic/duality are terms for when a headmate is capable of controlling more than one soma in headspace. Unlike a projector, a multisomatic headmate's somas will always be present in headspace and will always be fully tangible.
