Characters
Post-Self, as a collaborative effort, does have some characters that may be used in works to add some consistency to the end products. Using them is not required, not by any stretch, but they’re here if you’d like. If you have a good idea for a character, feel free to add it to the list!
Dear
- Name
- Dear, Also, The Tree That Was Felled — of the Ode Clade
Or just Dear.
- Pronouns
- it/it/its/itself
- Appearance
- Dear’s instance is modeled after that of a now-extinct animal known as a fennec fox, a member of the vulpine family adapted to desert living. Dear has modified the original form to be more akin to that of humans. The iridescent white fur appears to have been a happy mistake. It speaks in italics, no one knows how.
- Reference
- Dissolution strategy
- Dispersionista
- Occupation
- Dear is an instance artist. It gains reputation by doing neat things with instances and recording, writing about, and otherwise disseminating its experiences. It has lately been experimenting with different ways of making its sensorium abstract enough to allow others to merge it or its created instances. Keep it on the down-low, but it has also been attempting to hack a means of octopus merging, allowing multiple instances to be merged into a new and completely different instance.

- Pronouns
- Qián Guōwēi#core: he/him/his/himself; instances vary

- Dissolution strategy
- Tasker
- Occupation
- Assassin. Qián Guōwēi#core works as an employee for a reputation exchange organization, as far as he knows. His employer often requires that he fork an instance for ‘travel’ to other sims. The instance is actually taken away and giving the task of assassinating a target, and then terminated. The ‘exchange’ prevents any merger and the instance is terminated. Guōwēi believes this is for client confidentiality. Guōwēi suspects foul play.
