Tulpa Physiology

Tulpa Physiology
Like a Tulpa, Pennywise the Dancing Clown (It) gains power, weaknesses and possibly exists due to the power of people's belief in or about him.
Power/Ability to:	Use the traits of tulpa

Power to use the abilities of tulpa. Not be confused with Belief Dependent Physiology or Relative Strength Perception.

Also Called

• Thoughtform Mimicry/Physiology
• Tulpa Mimicry/Form

Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into a Tulpa, ("to build" or "to construct"): a concept in mysticism of a being or object which is created through sheer discipline alone. It is a materialized thought that has taken physical form and is usually regarded as synonymous to a thoughtform. Creating a tulpa can be described as "giving palpable being to a visualization, in very much the same manner as an architect gives concrete expression in three dimensions to [...] his blue-print".

Thus the user exists and gains strength based solely on the beliefs of one or more individuals. They may be truly formless entities, their existence, appearance, attitude, motivations, strengths and weaknesses shaped from strong enough belief in them.
