Servitor Interview?, Could a method used by fiction authors be helpful when creating entiti Options

This may sound completely stupid but forgive me I'm a noob to all this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/baby.gif)

I've heard that sci-fi and fantasy authors 'interview' their characters by imagining them sitting across from them in a room and asking questions. The answers are supposed to let you get to the know the characters more.

Could this be useful if you intended to give a servitor/tulpa/whatever a personality? I was thinking about creating a 'friend' servitor just to start out with, and I was wondering if this could help.

And if it could, what would be some good questions to ask?

Ack... my mind just exploded!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry_pissed_off_emoticon.gif)

Sure you can use your sister as a model for a servitor…however at least two things come into play, and I am still not seeing the benefits on any level.

First, no matter what happens your relationship with your sister will be affected not by your sister but by your servitor.

Second, no matter what happens your relationship with your servitor will be affected not by your servitor but by your sister.

Third, you won’t know if it was something you thought your sister said or did, or if it was your servitor.

In the end totally confusing, and the more I think about it the more reasons I think not to do it.

There is a side of me that screams to want you to do it and document what happens in extreme detail…I’m interested.

But in general you do not want living beings as models because they change, your perception of them changes.
I would also not go with people who as you discover more about your opinions of them change.

I first learned about Aleister Crowley about 17 years ago, in the last 7 years I could not say that six months have passed where my opinion of him has stayed stable. So pick your targets as archetypal as possible and that your opinion of them is fairly stable. Safe for me…any of the Winnie the Poo characters, peanuts characters, sesame street characters, robotech, transformers (might change as movies might restart them)…

In essence go for something you doubt will change your opinion of them any time soon, yet you know as well as you will know. I avoid any historical figures that have a cult following because if there is a new biography, and I have interest…I am apt to read it, changing my perspective of them, changing my perspective of my servitor.

I would wait on others with more experience in this regard, I time my servitors to very short time frames…I am just now thinking on expanding that.
