Ooh, that was a really, really wonderful explanation. ♥

Soulbonding is something different for everyone, I think. I know someone who just experiences it as feeling the character's presence, but then for me, it is like DID. My soulbonds have always been separate people, so while it maybe starts with some deep bond with a fictional character, after that, it's more like I just meet all these people who happen to have fictional origins. So the initial empathy comes from them having similar pasts. If that made any sense... I'm terrible at explaining things, so, um, sorry. ^^;; And normally they're not too much like the characters at all, and don't like to be compared to them. (Sometimes I don't even like the original character. XD)

I think your definition is what it's like for most people, though, except for the referring to yourself as one person thing, because while I am one person, all my bonds are definitely separate people too. I think all soulbonders would agree on that.

But, yeah, I know they're not actual outside people. Soulbonders don't actually see or hear anything, and it's not at all like schizophrenia. So, best comment ever. :D You rock.
