Hive Mind

Hive Mind is the ability to share a mind or consciousness between several bodies or vessels.

In contrast to characters with Multiple Selves, characters with Hive Mind have the exact opposite trait. While multiple selves is the ability to have multiple consciousnesses in a single vessel, hive mind is the ability to have one consciousness in multiple vessels.

Possible Uses

• Information Analysis (in that one iteration can transfer knowledge to other iterations)
• Enhanced Senses (in that each other instance perceives the stimuli of a single instance)
• Multiple Selves (by having separate consciousnesses for each iteration of the hive mind)
• Resistance to Mind Manipulation (by requiring the manipulation of every iteration, not just one)

Types

• Type 1: Single Minded: A single consciousness distributed across multiple bodies acting as a single entity.

• Type 2: Multi-Minded: A shared consciousness between multiple entities, each with their own unique personality and awareness. They are able to act independently, but tend to share lower instincts such as knowledge, stimuli and reactions.
