• Subconscious Mimicry/Embodiment
• The Id
• The Shoulder Devil

Capabilities

Users become the embodiment of the Id; the Freudian representation of uncoordinated instinctual trends in human behavior. In other words, the unfiltered wants and desires within the mind. In Sigmund Freud's theory, the Id and the Superego (the part of the mind that places foreign factors like other people into consideration) inserts suggestions to the Ego (one's own sense of identity). While the superego demands what the person would consider the "right thing" to do, the Id demands what the person wants to do despite the consequences. Because of this, people consider the Id's influence to be a bad influence and is often associated with evil.
