Inspired by the homebrew by King Arthur (_kingarthur in Discord)
You are never alone. In your body, there exists multiple minds, multiple bodies, multiple potentials. At the drop of a hat, with a sneeze, or hunger, you become someone new. You go from peaceful and kind to cold hearted and angry, or your body changes into something completely new.

Other Self
Upon gaining access to the Other Half Awakening, create an ‘Other Self’ and a trigger for them to appear. This trigger can be anything, so discuss it with your ARC to decide what is most fitting for your Character and the narrative. When your trigger is activated, swap between your Other Self and your normal Character and vice-versa. Both Characters share the same amount of current Life Points, Ki Points, and Capacity.
Except for the following rules, create an Other Self as a completely new character:
- An ‘Other Self’ is a Character of the same Race and Power Level as you.
- If you have exchanged any Racial Traits for Factor Traits of the Body Category, the Other Self must exchange those same Racial Traits for the same Factor Traits.
- If you possess any Awakenings that have an Awakening Origin of Body, the Other Self must also possess those Awakenings alongside the Other Half Awakening (they do not create another Other Half).
- Any choices for Option effects for Body-Type Racial Traits or Awakenings with an Awakening Origin of Body, must be the same as the original character.
- An Other Self does not gain a Gear Kit.
Your Character and your Other Self both make use of the same [x/Encounter] limitations – their individual uses of each Maneuver counts for the other and vice-versa. That means, for example, if an Other Self triggered the 5th effect of Two Hearts, One Body, your original Character could not and vice-versa.
Your Character and your Other Self make use of the same Items, Apparel, and Weapons. If one character possesses an Item, both do. If one character currently has a Weapon or piece of Apparel equipped, both do, and if any piece of Apparel is Doffed, both have it Doffed.
While controlling your Other Self, your original Character is considered the ‘Other Self’ for the effects of Two Hearts, One Body.
