Tulpa Physiology

Power to use the abilities of tulpa. Not be confused with Belief Dependent Self or Relative Strength Perception.

Also Called[]

• Thoughtform Mimicry/Physiology
• Tulpa Mimicry/Form

Capabilities[]

User with this ability either is or can transform into a Tulpa, ("to build" or "to construct"): a concept in mysticism of a being or object which is created through sheer discipline alone. It is a materialized thought that has taken physical form and is usually regarded as synonymous to a thoughtform. Creating a tulpa can be described as "giving palpable being to a visualization, in very much the same manner as an architect gives concrete expression in three dimensions to [...] his blue-print".

Thus, the user exists, and gains strength based solely on the beliefs of one or more individuals. They may be truly formless entities, their existence, appearance, attitude, motivations, strengths and weaknesses shaped from strong enough belief in them.

• Tulpas might only bind themselves to a specific location/building by various conditions, meaning once the subjects have distanced themselves from them, they won't be present around them anymore.
