kaksoissisältymistä

Kaksoissisältyminen refers to a phenomenon observed in some fictional narratives, particularly in role-playing games and fan fiction, where a character is essentially two distinct entities inhabiting the same physical form. This can manifest in various ways, such as a character having two separate consciousnesses, personalities, or even soul fragments within one body. The nature of the relationship between these two "selves" can vary greatly; they might be in constant conflict, cooperate, be unaware of each other, or have a symbiotic connection.

This concept often arises when exploring themes of identity, duality, or the consequences of magical or technological interference with the mind or soul. The "kaksoissisältymä" can be a source of internal drama, leading to unpredictable actions and complex character development. For example, one personality might be the original inhabitant of the body, while the other is an invader, a merged entity from a past event, or a manifestation of a split personality disorder.

The narrative often focuses on how the character navigates this internal division, how it affects their relationships with others, and whether the two selves can find a way to coexist or if one must ultimately dominate or be expelled. The term itself is Finnish, directly translating to "double inclusion" or "double containment," which aptly describes the situation of two entities within a single vessel. It's a narrative device that allows for exploration of complex psychological and existential themes in a fantastical context.
