Identity-play stuff
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48752974/ This picture (and the other one linked in its description) by @Austin_Dern, along with some other stuff, had me thinking
A world of identity-less people like that, but where an identity is something you can buy for like $10 and wear like a t-shirt, different ones each day
not everyone wears one, and not all the time, but they can just put on an identity they like
of course first-person pronouns can only be used while wearing one, but you'd also use first-person pronouns for another being wearing the same identity
Unsure whether wearing an identity would make you look any different, or if you'd still be visually the same faceless, featureless being, just one with an identity. maybe you could go either way

Identity-play stuff
@Felthry I'm glad to inspire you so, and believe Vahno/ShadowSoldierXander there would be open to chatting with you; they've been thinking a lot about the comfort of picking up and putting down identity as the mood strikes. (Which is a homunculus problem, but that doesn't make it less worth toying with.)
re: Identity-play stuff
@Austin_Dern they're someone we've found rather interesting in the past! but never happened to be in any of the same circles

re: Identity-play stuff
@Felthry I was just thinking that, yeah; I think FurAffinity's the only place I've seen you both together. Startling because I do think you'd be a pretty compatible pairing. Well, can toss them a few comments and I can check if they'd be open to notes on FA from you, if you would like that.
re: Identity-play stuff
@Austin_Dern if you want! though we're noooot the sort to use FA notes for that sort of stuff; here, matrix, or discord would be better

re: Identity-play stuff
@Felthry Sure! ... Oh, I don't think I knew you were on Discord. I'm Austin Dern#5033 over there, if you'd like.
re: Identity-play stuff
@Austin_Dern (if you ever want to introduce us, we'd definitely be open to it!)
