Quote:They would probably become his idealized versions of the real people... faults would become less, strengths would become more, etc. I doubt that they would take on his personality traits unless there was something like that there to begin with...
With the other simulacra -- I think they would act the way Doug believes they would. They are basically powered and controlled by him. So if he has not had any contact with the originals over an extended period of time the simulacra might just get a loony taint behaviourwise, couldn't they? The human memory has a tendency to drift, after all. Traits perceived as positive become even more so and stronger up to dominant while negative traits will diminish over time. And some nuances will probably disappear or perhaps never be there in the first place, if they were not noticed by the remembering person.
On a side-note, does Doug have a song to generate a simulacra of himself? Such a trick may be useful for a variety of things...
